All ships in the pack are the same model, they just have new textures. Any model iamges you've seen are actual modifications to the original model.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

so these are just registries for the model we already have? or are you including your FC model with it??

No, I'm not finished with the FC model yet.

This pack is just for the CG Sovereign.

Well, I've got most of the secondary hull finished.  All that is left is the Quantum Torpedo bay/Captains Yacht, Deflector housing, and the Armour on the bottom of the Secondary hull.  I've made a ship icon too.  BUT the name of the pic below says everything :P

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight

He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

Since I'm almost finished with the secondary hull (the only thing I need to do now is texture in the deflector trench and quantum torpedo bay/captains yacht and windows) I'm going to work more on the model.  Save the bottom saucer texture for last.  I'm working on making the detail on the bottom saucer (those little raised details that were originally textured in).  This would add a few hundred polies at least, I'll have a final poly count once I clean everything up (ugh, something else I need to learn about modeling...).  Then once I finish with the saucer section, I might work on making new phasers since everyone doesn't like the originals...

Ok, JB got me interested in texturing the Sovvy again...I'll have render photos soon.  Heck, I might have ingame pics soon too LOL I haven't played with this baby in a while, and it's time I got back to it :D

PIC!!! Sorry for the double post :D

As you can tell I've revamped the aztec pattern on the top saucer :).  I've thought of mirroring the texture...but then I thought it wouldn't look right with the portholes...

Yeah I know it's a pain in the ass! lol.  I'm going to definitely have a hard time with the bottom saucer :S especially since I'm going to be adding more physical detail to the model.

Just wondering...

Since JTK is working on his Sovereign...should I stop production at least on MY sovereign?  Thoughts?

I'm just feeling as though it would be redundant to continue...I would still work to bring the Steamy and Norway up to par model and texture wise....
