The laptop was working right before I got on, and when I pulled it out during the flight it wouldn't go into Windows... kept restarting it's self.  I was seated behind the main wing on the right side.  No radar there.  But the whole aircraft is uninsulated on the inside.

we've been hit my some intense solar activity...
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

Ok, squeezed some time in for a quick 40 minute job.

Poly (triangle) count is currently at 6618.  Mesh is one solid piece.

Did some background research on the Galor.  It was supposedly commissioned in 2343 and the Catdassian/Federation war started in 2347. So does that mean the Galore was the one and only warship that the Cardassian's had? Anything older are transports and freighters.

Still looking good.

And it sure sounds like the Galor was all the Cardies had until the Obsidian Order made the Keldons and then they had the Hideki later.  Kinda odd, if you ask me.

The Galor is still a strong ship though.  It'd be like saying the Federation fought that war with only Ambassadors.  Of course they used Excelsiors and Mirandas as well.

I'm sure the cardies had more ships than just the Galor that were combat capable prior to 2343.  I bet they built the Galors specifically to meet the challenge of taking on Federatoin ships with anticipation to going to war by 2347.  After all, Cardassians are known for planning ahead.  Besides, 2347 is only 4 years after 2343, so there were probably just a small handful of Galors.

well there most likely were some more ships... Manowar class, one of my drawings I've done many years ago in PSP 8... It's kind of a Galor with bulkyier hull and TMPish nacelles attached to the wings (they should look nowhere like those on the Hybrid from BC)

Oh believe me, I got my ideas for pre-2343, TMP, and maybe even TOS designs (not sure when Cardassians obtained warp capability).  From the little of what I understand of their history, they're kind of behind the power curve a bit as a warp capable society... probably established around the early 23rd century, maybe late 22nd century.

Already have backed them up.   :D

I suppose that depends on how you want to look at it.  The JJ Abrams film establishes the Cardassians as being around by 2255 since their beverages were being imported into the Federation.  One of the Shattered Universe Novels, although not canon, establishes that the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance began to form around 2293 during the Mirror Universe version of the Khitomer Conference.

I just know I look forward to seeing some of your "older" Cardassian designs.

The one thing that I'm enjoying with working on this a 2nd time around is that 1.) I'm doing it more correctly, 2.) I'm finding new detail to the model that I didn't notice the first time, 3.) the model is one whole unified mesh, and 4.) there are no errors on it at all!!!   :D

Poly count is currently at 7855.
