nav light placements?
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Yeah, Nav lights could be added.  How about more lifeboat hatches?  Not a lot, but maybe just a few along the saucer.  I'd say four of them, two on this panel and two on the opposite side panel.  That's just my opinion of course, you don't have to add more if you don't want to.  I see she has a few behind the bridge already.

About that...

Also I think I'll save nav lights for Nano FX to do.

Yes you can have nano fx do the nav LIGHTS but where is the PHYSICAL structure for those lights?  XD

That's what I'm getting at.

Oh that looks nice. Just the nacelles and pylons left to texture it looks like.
All hail the messiah!

Very nice... Now there's a vessel that looks as though it can serve in many different capacities for starfleet

I've finished texturing, including glows and specs.  Now that I've done that... I'm not sure what to do next.  I need to get it ready to HP, Starforce has agreed to do that.  So I have to convert it to a NIF or something, right?  Can anyone point me in the right direction (tutorials, volunteering to take it off my hands, etc.)?

Here's a render compilation of the model.  Careful, it's big...

Given the registry of the Surpasser (NCC-2783), more like the Excelsiors little-sister.

I did do a convertion vid on bcfiles but it's for converting from sfc...some of it might be the same from whatever you're using.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

nah its way too big for a testbed. would be WAY too expensive to install certein technologies. you need other power conduits etc ... imagin you would have to wire the entire system from head to toe.

IMHO it could be a tug for damaged vessels, or a repair ship.. Hospital ship isn't out of question either, as the outlook is quite friendly.. And as I said earlier, carrier would work too.. just my 0.02c
