Dated or not dated?  That is the question...

I don't mind having more than one ship to choose from.  Especially if DJ wants to make different variations to choose from.  That is of course if he plans to make more variations lol.

Nice.

For the record, LC's is not dated... period. It's too damn good to be dated.

Good to have quality options though.

period.

While the LC looks good, I'm sure DJ will make it far prettier. So far I love everyone of his ships, they look like a touch above the rest. The JLS Amby looks better that the LC amby, but lacks a torpedo tube even though it has extra phaser strips (which I love) plus it is the Enterprise C variant, I would like to have the refit version though, and if DJ wants a post dominion war variant would be awesome

The Ambie never had modelled on torp tubes in the first place so in that respect, the JLS Ambie is quite canon. :P

Only in that respect :P We added phasers arrays to make it actually fit within the era. And the fact is our unmodelled torp tube fired torps :P

DJ, what approach are you gonna take with that? Stupidly underpowered, strictly canon or within the era, "original intent"? Also, you planning a Yamaguchi variant?

IMO I think the fore tubes should be hidden behind the grill in the neck... kinda how DS9 had it's tubes hidden lol

I also gave DJ the link to ST-bilder they got plenty of LARGE pics of all the Ambasses.

I think the reason why the torp tubes weren't visible is because maybe it was a diplomatic idea... after all, the class of the ship is called ambassador.  Perhaps the tubes had a launch door that hid them?... sort of like the a '67 RS Camaro headlights,how there was a false grill hidding them when they weren't being used.

Not sure they ever have.  You might want to post a few in game screenshots over on BCFiles of it just to let them know.

ok guys this thread is really starting to go all over the place and lose its focus...
perhaps it might be best to hold off on further posting until DJ can come back to his thread and catch up...
so please let DJ have the next post after mine...

thx :)

Wow, lots going on.  Sorry I didn't update sooner.  We had my daughter's fifth birthday party last night, and then i was jamming with my band most of the afternoon today.

Anyhow, the nacelles are built, and I added a number of details to the engineering hull.  Now to answer some questions... lol.

Am I doing the variant?--> At this point, I am doing the Enterprise C.  Whether that expands down the road depends on how busy my life is.
Am I modeling the torpedo tube?--> Yes, however in a fashion more akin to a Galaxy class starship, where it more or less just looks like a hole.

If I missed a major question, could you just quote it below.

It's funny, as I build this ship I'm really coming to appreciate its design.  Despite being a little gaunt at times, it's actually pretty graceful.

Hope you guys like how she's shaping up.  :)

Any ship of yours is worth a download. This is absolutely no exception. You get a cookie from me.

Looks very good so far.
If you are looking to do a pack though, I have a couple of questions.
1. Any chance you would include a variant that has your own unqiue feel to it, similar to what you did when you made the USS Pegasus in your Galaxy pack?
2. Any chance of seeing the Andrew Probert version aswell?
