I wish I could take credit for it all.  I can only take credit for the textures that I'm working on (and only one of those gets maybe a 1/2500 credit on it lol).  If not for CG's modeling skills this wouldn't be happening to be quite honest :).  When this is all finished, I'm going to take more tutorials on creating models and mapping them in Max 8 (unfortunately I can't afford 9, nor do I have the computer UMPH to run it)

Hehe... look at it this way... you've put more work into this thing than I've done in quite a while ;)

Glad I could help out some, but you're basically taking two separate mods and bashing them together, with pretty good results, and you deserve a lot of credit for that. :)

Oh, just make sure to change the window colors.. you don't want to have people bugging you about those constantly. :P

lol Trust me CG, I'm gonna experiment with some window colors.  As well as layer properties similar to those on Scotchy's galaxy windows...So far I like what I've gotten though :).  And all I'm doing model wise is just putting ID maps in...the RCS thrusters are textured in LOL.

I'm happy that people are liking this project.

UPDATE:  Guess who got his laptop working LOL.  Not much done, the nacelles are pretty much finished as far as the ID mapping is concerned.  I did have to chop and readjust the Unwrap UVM, but other than that it's perfect the way I want it :D.  So...now onto the secondary hull...

Hey guys forgive me for not updating in a couple of weeks.  I've been very busy with work and school.  On top of a breakup as well, and me misplacing my Flash drive, I haven't been working on this faithfully like I should be.  However once I find the flash drive and my photoshop CD (to upload it onto my laptop so I can work there too) I should be able to finish this soon :). I still need alpha testers for the damaging, I've got two so far.

Ooooh, ouch dude. You have sympathy and understanding from me, that's for sure. Best luck, man. I'm sure it'll all pull through and I'm also sure we're all looking forward to future updates on this project. No rush, though.

Hehe, I forgot I hadn't deleted my recycle bin so more updates soon LOL.

Hehe, this is what I get when I'm bored, started working on the aztec patterning on the top saucer again...This time I'm going about it in a different light.  Similar to what i was doing before, but going to make it work this time :D.

Update.  I've managed to do a better job with the Aztec Panels...It fits more, not entirely like it should, but better than what it was last time :).

P.S. I plan on lightening up some of those Aztecs and also I plan on filling in some gaps that are obvious in certain areas.  Other than that I'm done with the Aztecing on the Top Saucer.  The only thing needing texturing now is portholes :)

Thanks folks for the compliments :) I've figured out how to use the Unrwap UVM feature LOL.  So I'm going back and redoing the ID maps the way I wanted to do it in the first place :).  Hopefully I'll get some photos soon :D.
