Ambassador Class

[DJ Curtis]

No prob man.  I appreciate the input.

What do you guys think?

[Nihilus]

She looks WAY better with an aztec pattern than she ever did without it.  That shade of Blue is perfect too, I can't wait to see in game screens.  If you wanted to make a post-Nemesis variant, you could just recolor the hull to be more Sovereign like, Tan/Dark Gray, without doing any other changes to the ship.  It would be as if she were upgraded with Ablative Armor that way.  Increase the Phaser strength a little bit and add Quantum Torpedoes.

That's my two cents lol

[Darkthunder]

I would have to concur with Nihilus.

And a Post-Nemesis variant of the Ambassador Class would be a cool thing to see. Something to go alongside your Pegasus

[CptBenSisko]

I agree as well..shaping up well...and i like the size of the escape pods now..much closer to the studio model

[Nebula]

has to agree with the above... also post Nem Ambass of course would have a modified deflector.  

btw I IMed you a link DJ so ya might want to login to see it.

Man, that is beautiful now, the rings have tied it all together . the one in the show should have looked that good.

[Centurus]

If there is a Post Dom refit Ambassador made, and I say if cause not sure if DJ would make it, I would imagine that, along with the modified deflector suggestion, that perhaps a modified warp nacelle design also be included, kinda like the slight nacelle modification that DJ made for that 2395 Galaxy Refit of his.  Nothing major, small but noticeable.

[Centurus]

Oh, textures look very sharp.  Question:  Did you add the additional escape pods?  I'm too lazy today to compare.  I spent 8 hours at a marketing seminar so the last thing I wanna do is think hard.  :-D

[Nebula]

no he just made em larger

[deadthunder2_0]

on o PDW refit, you'd think it would have more impulse engines (like galaxy saucer)

If I were to design a Post-Dominion Ambassador, I would add dual Torpedo launchers below, for and aft, the Deflector Dish ala Sovereign Class.  I did notice however that there appears to be no visible aft Torpedo Launcher on the original model.  Perhaps they can go on each side of the Impulse Engine, regardless of Dominion Refit or not?

[DJ Curtis]

Ideas for PDW version are welcome, but no guarantees of seeing it soon.

Update...

Gotta say, mapping out a cylindrical engineering hull is a huge pain in the arse.   However, the main stuff is don and the deflector is textured.  Also texture the front of the interhull and adjusted the color of the ribbing to better match the rest of the ship.

Looks great DJ nice work.

[DJ Curtis]

Thanks Mayhem.  Good to see you around. 

Nacelles are in progress.  I took some artistic liberty with them and added some hull lines.

[Vladko1]

Just WOW :eek

[DJ Curtis]

Just went on BCFiles.  Didn't realize LC's Ambassador is 6 years old.  I thought it came out around 2007.  Nevermind.

[mayhemuk]

OMG now i feel old, i can remember having chats over msn with him about it.

[Aeries]

Very nice buddy. Good to see you're still in town and building flying art. :]

[Nebula]

eh AWESOME but you still forgot the 4 docking ports on the nacelles lol

also this is the link I wanted to give over IM

Thanks Neb.  I'm going to texture the docking ports on.  And thanks for the link.  Good stuff in there.
