thx all for the comments, I'm glad you like it :D

first, like Bigkap said already, she have 4 aft torpedo tubes. The torpedo tubes in general are very similar to DJ's
Century, the tubes have all the same size, the aft ones just don't have that big lagging like the front ones, I will post some close up pix of the torp tubes later today.

Rengers, you already know what i think of this work.  One thing that has occurred to me in looking at those pix... you're gonna need one heckuva good HP'er for those phasers. lol

yeah, lol, that phasers on the top saucer could be not that easy to hp, but i will think about later.

@Aeries: Don't give up your mythra, I remember back last year, we started at pretty much the same time with our ships, it would be great to see both of them one day side by side in BC :D

I dunno if its possible, but some suggestions of mine:

Perhaps move 1 pair of the torpedo tubes from the underside, to the topside instead? Thus giving it slightly better coverage, and make it look alittle less cluttered on the underside. Also think the dorsal saucer phasers would look better, if they were placed further out, closer towards the edge.

Might make it a bit easier to HP as well :P

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! So pretty! Thats what Aeries meant by the Acheron months ago...:P
"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."

Awsome design there rengers I cant wait to see where it goes from here.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

It looks like the 25th century has a unique style.  I like it.  The rollbar is very reminiscent of DJ's Leonidas Class.  Don't give me ideas. :P  I like the transparency of the bussard collectors that reveal the inner workings.

well... since I've been out of the action, rusting like an old wet pole,... bored to tears....I think I can take a chance with them.
besides, this is a fine looking ship, and I still have some skills when it comes to HP delicate ships.

it just took me two seconds to see the drydock picture in your signature and go "man, that's beautiful!"

alright, the offer is made. it's your choice, tho.

thx guys :D, and thx to those who offers to hp this ship.

But tbh I don't know yet, if I'll give the job someone else or if i try it by myself.
But I'm sure some time will pass off until the ship will be ready for hp. I will decide
then if i will hp it by myself or if i will leave it to another, it depends on how far my hp
arts will be evolved to this time, although thx again for the offer :)

thx tech, here is a little update, probably the last one for a while on this one:

the first shot is the promised close up shot of the torpedo tubes (like I said already,
they are very similar to these of DJ's Century), the rest
are shots of a drydock i specially built for the acheron. I have built this
drydock some months ago as a result of boredom and i have to admit i had some fun to do it :D
The Drydock is completly finished and i have already ported it to BC.

I also plan to make custom shuttles for the Acheron and release it altogether in some kind of a pack

Nice design has a touch of the white star from B5 From some angles.  Good job  :D
