I was wondering about the weapons. in the film one energy bolt took out a D7 cruiser and as Scotty said the Enterprise would not survive to direct hits?

could be a short battle?

I prayed that someone will do this someday. You rock.

Yeah, it could be a short battle indeed, but whatever.

Neat stuff.

As posted in your other thread...

it is hollow at the moment. But I have no intention of making the interior. That would take ages!!!

...As I've said to many, we BCC folk are a patient people. In actuality, I doubt it would really take THAT long. Long, yes... but not THAT long.

You volunteering to do the interior Areries :wink:

So you'd have the first chamber the Enterprise is caught in, then all the Spocks walk stuff and then the Voyader 6 "brain" chamber!!

Idk about spockey-boy's space flight deal. Given that one moment, passing through that gate thing would have lead you into the weirdness of the 3d database thing with a floating chick and a crazy posessed throat piercing thing, then the next minute lead you to a [well, another] possessed Ancient Earth satellite hell-bent on throwing a hissy fit and killing off it's parents. I think the room beyond that point could be just about anything you want; doesn't NEED planets and sadistic satellites.

And no, I'm not; I've got my own stuff to deal with [like picking up the Mithra again!]; I'm just saying.

Thats what I thought lol. There is way to much to do for the interior so I'll stick to the exterior for now.

Looks great tho

As someone who long tried to build V'ger myself, I must tip my hat to you sir. That is impressive :)

Nope, but I did notice something which might need a little tweaking. When  I originally went on my quest to model V'ger before the Director's cut. I actually sent some emails to Probert, Mead, Barbee, etc. Anyone who helped design the model. which was helpful but and it lead me to this one picture I found . The opposite end before the sphere is actually cylindrical with the six flat planes surrounding it.

You're gonna have to REALLY scale that up. Connie refits are just specs against that behemoth.

If it's going to be that big ingame, you're going to want to have at least 2048* textures and sort out those mapping issues.

Thanks I'll take that onboard before I do the final textures.

Is there a tutorial or guide anywhere where to this as I don't want a repeat of the JJprise I made.
