You know what I always wondered?  When the USS Sao Paulo was renamed USS Defiant, shouldn't her registry have changed?  It seems like they would have changed it to NCC-74205-A or at least NCC-74205.

The registry should've probably been changed. But most of the battle scenes post-Sao Paolo, were reused from previous episodes (with the original USS Defiant).

Looks excellent ther Marky!  Can't wait to see the refinements and textures :D

One question, will this all be one texture?  Or will there be two or more?

Just the one mate, a single 2048 sheet.

The registry should've probably been changed. But most of the battle scenes post-Sao Paolo, were reused from previous episodes (with the original USS Defiant).

I agree it should have changed, at least have an added "A" to the end.

Thanks for all your comments and cookies guys. ;-)

:yeahthat:  Repainting the model to reflect a new registry wouldn't have been cost effective, especially considering that it would only be seen in the last episode.  I remember reading somewhere though that as far as Ronald D. Moore was concerned the new Defiant did get the 74205-A registry, even if the studio didn't want to fork up the bucks to put it on-screen.

LOL  :nono: No such luck I am afraid, I have decided to spend my last free night as a single man working on the Defiant, she is down to 10k polies now, and the bussard collectors are finished, fixed that lip on the upper ring that was spotted too.  :thumbsup:

Thanks fellas.
