Yep, it's a long and terribly tedious job but it's really worth it ;) not only hull have completely unique pattern but also everything is crisp'n clear when finished, as we speak I'm finishing upper decks spine on saucer, next I'll add some escape pods and I'll upload a pic ;)

I'm glad you like it :)

It looks really brilliant.  I love the new 2409 Enterprise-F motif.
Thanks for letting me know the forum was back up, guys.  I thought everyone died.

I can't wait to get my hands on her ample nacelles, if you'll pardon the engineering parlance.

That's pretty much what it looks like. Good texture work.

Oh my, this is so beautiful man!  In no way could I have done a better job.  Thank you so much!  Cookies incoming! :thumbsup:

I've been wondering what label we should release this under.  Any suggestions?

Also, the model is divided into six parts: phasers, saucer, neck, stardrive, pylons, and nacelles.  What this means is that I can kitbash this.  Thus, I can make customized configurations just like in STO, provided I make the other Connie variants, which I am thinking about.  It's not a promise, but I might. :D

I've got some propositions of names for the ship :
USS Exeter - the obvious one
USS Grunwald (1410 - battle for Grunwald, Poland-Lithuania Commonwelth vs. the Teutons)
USS Monte Cassino - come on, who doesn't know this one :P
USS Avenger (one of the operation phase in battle for Monte Cassino)
USS Dickens (same as above)
USS Honker (also same as above)
USS Pilsudski (Polish Chief of State, great man and a WWI hero)

That's it for names, now UPDATE TIME :D

So, dorsal saucer is about 80 % ready, just need to slap starfleet logo on both aft corners and reg it up, I'll go for ventral side tomorrow.

here's the pic

I would just keep it as Exeter and also pack in blanks.

As for the actual textures, I've got a couple recommendations:
-  I think the escape pod numbers should either be removed or made indistinguishable, due to the way the saucer is mirrored.
-  The ten windows near the front don't match, again, due to the way the saucer is mirrored, so I'd suggest you double check them.  They're both misaligned and the scale doesn't match between the left five and the right five.
-  As for the Starfleet logo, well, in-game it can also be your fleet logo.  Maybe it should just be left off.

Ah lol ... I just noticed the windows problem :P It's fixed now...

As for the logo, it's your call, your model after all :P

Just added some transporter pads and fixed the windows issue

dunno about the escape pods numbers... when I revert the res to 1024 these should be indistinguishable enough.

here's final pic of dorsal side

I like the name Uss Orca...quite fitting given the colour scheme, coincidently the boat name in Jaws(as she looks like she has teeth too)  :angel
