FINALLY!!!

I've been wanting this for a long time!

Great work man!

REMEMBER: it is 98km long so it would be great if you could make it that big  :D

any idea on when a first version will be released?

Here is a picture of it from the side

this project is still alive, just going to take longer because there is a lot of surface detail to add.

I like the model. The textures could use some more work though.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Not at the moment but will up scale. I'm open to recommended sizes.

P.S. if you give me the model, i can do the HP for you if you like.
That would be cool. I have some ideas of how I want the weapons to function. PM to discuss it.

Right I've taken the blue out of the hull since that is reflection from the cloud.

I've up scaled it (pics have my jjprise for scale) let me know your thoughts.

I have added the access portal that the Enterprise entered (please no rusty sherif badge comments please) and will add the first chamber for those who want to dock with it.

Dont know, looks a little like wood. Model is superb, though.

Nice, so even if we do decide not to dock with it, are you just able to fly inside of it? Lol I think this would sweet on it's own nebula map and everything :P

My intention is no phasers. The white torp (like the ones fired are the klingons and the Enterprise) will knock half of the victims shields down these will be unlimited and only forward firing. Also there will be limited to 5 green (planet killer) torps again forward firing that will wipe a ship out if you are hit.

I know these are powerful but the ship won't be fast and can only fire forwards will a slow reload rate.

They really redid the re-coloring on the director's edition of ST:TMP.  Just keep with the blue/white lightning-plasma torpedoes and the yellow/white "orbital attack" torpedoes.  Also make a new soundpak using sfx from the movie. :)

well here is my sudgestion for the hardpoints..

you can make the white torpedoes "disruptors" and the yellow ones as "torpedoes" in the hardpoint file

make the white torpedoes should be able to fire in all directions. the large yellow torpedoes could be foreward and aft only

the white torps should have the strenght to kill a Klingon D-7 in one or two shots. the yellow torps shuld be able to kill anything in one shot. if half a dozen could destroy earth, than one shuld be able to destroy any ship or starbase


i can start making the weapons now if you want, the hardpoint will have to wait untill the model is done

sure go ahead, though I feel the other ship won't have a chance unless v'ger only fires forward.

We are talking about V"Ger here!
of course the other ship isn't going to have a chance
this ship should be able to take out a fleet of borg cubes without even taking minor dammage? :D

by the way, here is a couple of pictures of the weapons in game so far,
i recorded the sound of? the weapons firing directly from the movie, i will include them in the finished product if you like them
