Thanks for the feedback guys, in theory the design can still work with the windows at their current size however in relation to the escape pods and the ships mission profile decreasing the size of them may not be a bad idea. This will also add another couple of decks to the saucer which would increase volume. It would also give me the opportunity to add more windows between the two current rows now. Also I don;t want too many windows, this ain't no luxury liner.

The ship for all intensive purposes is designed to go to areas of space all ready discovered by deep space vessels (Such as the Ambassador) and map, survey do all the science stuff. As well as be ready for perimeter action on outlying borders. She can operate independently for a recommended two to three years before needing to resupply and re-crew. I'm unsure of crew complement as of yet but I doubt it would be a lot.

Just remember that you've already started making it a small vessel virtue of the sizes of the shuttlebay, torpedo launcher, saucer rim, and bridge. It can't get much larger without those becoming nonsensical.

Oh no it's not much different in fact it looks a bit better now and more in proportion.

More texturing.

I didn't think much of the design at first but the textures are bringing something interesting out.
I like the early registry number, certainly fits the ship's style.

I agree. These textures are really something special. It's coming out very beautiful. Thanks

Damn it, Killa!! You're inspiring designs here. I've already got two ships to do this year. xD

The textures do look great.

nxadam1701 · « **Reply #88 on:** February 07, 2014, 10:58:35 AM »

I can't wait to see this finished.

Killallewoks · « **Reply #89 on:** February 07, 2014, 06:08:45 PM »

Some further texturing

My goodness. The metallic look is phenomenally done.
I've never seen it so realistic. This is coming out very very good.
If only I could kidnap you to do models all the time

Thanks bro. Please finish her up :angel

Very nice. I agree that you've done something very special with the textures on this ship. The metallic look is really adding a lot of realism to the work. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

agreed fantastic... HOW did you achieve that effect though?

Killallewoks · « **Reply #94 on:** February 10, 2014, 11:01:12 AM »

The effect was achieved by removing the elements that wouldn't reflect then duplicating the layers. Once they were all merged I would fiddle about in the layer editor and go back and froth changing levels until I got an effect that looks right.

Started on the Nacelles now.

Really like her, take a cookie.

Finishing her up now.

nxadam1701 · « **Reply #98 on:** February 10, 2014, 03:24:30 PM »

It's coming along very very nicely. Thanks

Ship looks great... however:

There appears to be some smoothing issues on the nacelles. Looks a lot more "blocky" compared to the rest of the nacelles.
