That's a fairly nice shade of blue but seems a little dark.  Personally I've always been partial to the shade used on the Nemesis Sovereign itself.

nah, that doesnt work with the fc-color scheme... Imo, DJ nailed it.

i agree, though from watching the film, it looks a shade lighter.... but that may just be my TV...

Other than lighting up some windows, as well as making some changes and tweaks, the diffuse textures are done.  I redid the nacelle grill textures, as well as the impulse engine textures.  I think they're a lot better now.

I've welded the model back together and fixed up the mesh errors that occurred during the process, so the mesh is one piece, and seamless.

Best news?  Still under 20k polygons, and uses only 2 2048x2048 texture maps.  It's gonna run smooth as butter.

Drools in awe ... hands over a cookie for this

Awsome ship there
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

...and next to the Enterprise D.

That image gave me a great suggestion (if you choose to do it is entirely up to you):

In the DJ Galaxy Pack, you made the "USS Pegasus" Galaxy variant. I think you could make it look even cooler, with a "Sovereign-style" upgrade to the ship. With the black paneling, and the white hull.

Sovereign looks great, and a definite "possible replacement" for the CG Sovereign :)

DJ, it certainly seems to me that you've finally captured your "Eleanor".  Fantastic work!  Have a cookie!

Really fantastic!

IMO, this will never replace the CG Sov as that ship is also exceptional (especially considering when it was originally done) but... this one is just as outstanding, just newer and different. And different is good!

Looks great from what can be seen from that dark green/orange clash. :P
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

She looks amazing in game, which was to be expected :D.  How are her phasers?  Are they set up traditionally like in First Contact, or rapid fire heavy hitters like Nemesis?

For the moment, I've got all the major HP stuff finished.  Phasers, quantums, and photons are all set up and functioning well.  Phaser strength is about 125% that of my Galaxy class.  Shields are about 130% strength.  Hull is a bit more, but not a ton.

I still have to do the tactical icon and arcs, as well as refine the ship plugin and add blinkers.  With some testing, I might have it ready for release tomorrow.
