Good to hear.

I had this saved in my bookmarks and just came across it again... I'd just like to say that I'm hoping this will still get released. Looks awesome.

I plan on restarting this project once I'm done with my current project.  My mesh making skills have improved since I last worked on this model.

This is what a call a BIG back from the death!!! It was on hold since 2005, as other mods, right? http://combatace.com/topic/18959-my-star-trek-meshes/
I can?t remember where, but you put the low polly mesh online (timestamp is 2005), which I?m using as a base to model my own high polly version of her.
Already saw the attached pics of the original mesh, built by Eric Peterson?

Holy S***!!!!!! I've never been able to find those kind of references.  That helps a lot!!!!!!!! If I could give you a 1000 cookies, I would!  Thanks bro!  And I guess you're also a fellow CA member too!

[Lionus]

Huh.. there's similar ship but built out of Nebula in STO. Everything matches.. well, except the fact that the STO's version is a lot more crude.

CA member? I don?t understood... But I believe you?re saying a good thing about me, so, thanks!
The renderings I posted above were sent to me by Mateen Greenway, one of the old Wolfpack members. He owns the original mesh, and was kind enough providing me the renderings.

CA... Combat Ace... the site where you linked my pics from.

Oh... sure! How could I not understood before? 
I?m not a BCU player in fact, just a casual observer of the beautifull ships you all are always building. This gives me inspiration for my ships too, usually in high polly. SO, excuse me if it?s a dumb question, but... about the other ships showed there (CA), which the actual status for them?

[serverandenforcer]

They all need to be rebuilt if I want to continue weltering on them.  Non of them are one single mesh, unlike my Galor which is just one complete unified object.  The Apollo has way too many polies for the lack of detail it has.  The Kaldor (which was supposed to be a high detailed replica of a very low detailed model from another game) is a complete mess if you really look into how I built the ship.  Same goes for the Merced and the Endurance (the sovi variant).  So it's going to be a lot of work to do.

I did see that, but wanted to post anyway! Besides, serverandenforcer seemed to want to finish it, I though I'd let him know publicly that I maintain interest in this ship.

[serverandenforcer]

Yeah, I seem to have knack for not finishing up my stuff. Gah... First it was because I transfered from reservist to active duty, then they had changed our schedule setup to where we were working 12 hours shifts (and I spent that time studying on better ways to build a mesh), and then I got myself a girlfriend.  Now I'm back on 8 hour shifts, but going to school.  It never ends...

in the future, please dont bump an old thread...  if the thread/mod author had anything new to post, they would...  if you want to express interest in an old project, send the project's creator a private message instead of bumping a thread from so long ago...
it is just one of those forum etiquette things...
