Texture-wise, she's definitely turning out to be one of my favorites. Wonderful work, have a cookie to keep you going. :)

No, no, the model is nicely built, too. My only real nit-pick is that I seldom like the ships with the deflector in the saucer... particularly, when the saucer looks to have a big chunk cut out of it. I saw it with a miranda-ish ship somewhere and it drove me NUTS. So yeah, that's the only real reason I'm not too fond. However, design aside, the model itself and the textures... the overall QUALITY is fantastic. :D

for me its always rather hard to say wether a model is extremely outstanding or rather average...of course I see smoothing errors as well but I think for me the texture are the ship.
And referring to textures youre doing an extremely good job!
I'd say you belong to the best texturers atm imo. You have an eye for detail that almost is like DJ's keep it up

and btw: the design is provoking but refreshing (mentioned these words at the mithra as well I think^^)

Well, it's impossible to please EVERYONE. The only thing to be concerned about is if YOU are happy with it.
Like I said, though... design be d*mned! She's gorgeous nevertheless, with the textures and your modeling skills. :)

Hah, and she certainly stands out from the crowed.
