Seems the trend these days is to have one big thread for your work, so I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and put everything in this thread.
Item 1: A revamped Century Class. I read in an interview linked from the STO main page that the lead ship artist for STO thought the Century was a cool design that he'd like to see in the game, and that kinda got me looking at the ship again, as I hadn't in quite some time. So here's a list of the improvements and modifications:
-generally cleaned up mesh
-new bridge area
-new main impulse engine
-significant changes to the warp nacelles, including moving forward and lengthening, as well as the details
-widened the nacelle pylons
-widened the rear of the ship
-much larger aft shuttlebay
-new main deflector
-moved the main deflector further towards the back of the ship
-eliminated the "double barrel shotgun" in favor of a more understated launcher near the deflector
-brought in a uniform torpedo launcher style
-widened and reshaped the ship's spine
-added a phaser array to the spine
-modified nacelle/pylon connections to streamline and refine
-moved nacelle pylons forward
-bunch of other small stuff including modified smoothing groups, refining edges, etc.
Generally, I wanted the ship to appear more balanced and refined. Probably the biggest change in this regard is the nacelles. You can see in the comparison that they're a lot different. I'll let the pix do the talking. I'm planning to do new textures from scratch for this ship. Overall, I'm really liking the changes, hope you guys do too!
