Badass indeed! Those nacelles look like a mix of Connie refit and Vesta nacelles.

SPECIAL THANK YOU to Limey for his excellent work in cleaning up the Mithra's saucer mesh.

Just glad I could help

Those nacelles look cool, though, why are they at such an angle to the pylons?

As well as the saucer, I also cut a shed load of polys from the deflector mesh. Cutting it from the almost 20k it used to be, to just under 4k.

OH YEAH! Thanks for reminding me Limey! :]

So with Limey's help on the saucer and deflector grate, and with the addition of these new nacelles, the entire ship is merely 25k! [from an original... uhmmm... I think 45k.]

Those are some beastly nacelles. Nice.

Yeah the nacelles look !very! cool, but am I the only one who thinks they dont really fit the streamline of the ship? :?

they do, but they dont at the same time.
they look like cannons mounted in place of warp nacelles, but look kick ass none the less, i think those square indents should go, smooth the bussards back out. than that cannon look would go away.
thats my ONLY complaint about those babys.
*coookie*

what he said. ^^

Thanks for the honesty guys! :] I was worried they'd give off the "I'mma blow your brainz out wiff mah big-arse cannonz!" look, but now that I really think about it I have a really awesome idea that'll fix that right up. I'll do it after work tonight and post up some pretty renders for you. You're right that the overall shape doesn't fit the rest of the ship but that's because I haven't redesigned a couple small yet important elements to follow suit with the bulkier frame... the Impulse Engines, for example, will be getting an overhaul as well as the shuttlebay area [it's a huge mess, you see] and the pylons... whenever I figure out how to do so. :S

Anywho, thanks a million guys!

She's a beaut Aeries. A kick-arse beaut.

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #672 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:15:44 AM »

shes well designed, dont get me wrong. take your time homie, im lovin it every time i see it.

Aeries · « **Reply #673 on:** July 09, 2009, 05:59:42 PM »

I'm not sure about this but I figured I'd post it and get some opinions... I couldn't make a new shuttlebay for the old mesh; it was just too sloppy and messy to clean up that area. Thoughts?

Dalek · « **Reply #674 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:02:58 PM »

You already know my thoughts lol.

She's really gonna kill some Borg.

moed · « **Reply #675 on:** July 09, 2009, 06:12:42 PM »

Looks awesome Aeries!

I think the shuttle bay looks good but for some reason, for a ship of this design I think the shuttle bay doors should be flat... similar to the ones on a Sovereign.

Just my opinion.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #676 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:32:36 PM »

Whoa...with that shuttle bay, now she looks like a super-bad@$$ 25th century refit of the Luna-class. O.O

agreed, it just dont sit with the rest of it

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #678 on:** July 09, 2009, 09:44:08 PM »

I'd almost push the bay aft a bit more, and go with a Galaxy styled bay. but this still looks awesome.

Phaser · « **Reply #679 on:** July 10, 2009, 10:00:37 PM »

Wow. When I look at those nacelles I immediately hear a shotgun being cocked. Nice!

As for the shuttle bay, the reason it looks off is because it's framed on two sides. The Constituion had its bulb-shaped shuttle bay out in the open to facilitate angled landings and takeoffs. But having a bulb shape that's boxed in renders it useless.
