Yes! Planning an update! New armour! New weapons! New...stuff!

Yah, I'm planning an update of the Arcadia where it appears to have undergone a refit after taking damage at the hands of the (SPOILER from my series alert) Breen. Starfleet realised that if there ships were going to safely explore the galaxy, then their ships needed better...stuff. I'll post pics shortly and I think I will require kirk2164's help. Glows and all.

OH, thank you. You#ll like this Arcadia. It will be separate from the original Arcadia so you can tell the difference.

I'm not finished the saucer texturing, but she is looking good!

I plan on doing a retexture of a ship. I use Photoshop 5.5 due to plugins I can't find anywhere else, I was also wondering if someone had a pack of federation windows they can release, the blue ones etc they use on ships.

I just want her to look decent, that's all. I'll address a tiny problem as well with a pic.

I know I'm taking forever to produce pics. I want to include pics with the custom Vivace as well.

Edit: I've lovingly named the custom Vivace "Duracell" for now. It's not permanent.

I like.
The Vivace looks colossal, though...

I never knew the Vivace was that big compared to the Century. But I'm gonna make her one helluva Queen Killing Bitch.

Edit: Scrapping v1 of that Vivace. Starting again with v2 :D.

The reason the Vivace looks so big is that it's mis-scaled.  I originally scaled it

Just in case your confused (to everyone), the Vivace is a private mod. Unless DJ doesn't mind about my Vivace going into the world if it's finished?

it's fine.  you may release the vivace mod.  please just make sure all proper credit is given and that the original readme is a part of the download.

I would start screaming if I forgot credit. I really hate forgetting things and not giving credit where credit is given.

Focusing on the Vivace, here are some pics of a part converted USS Duracell (will think of a better name soon!).
