The saucer's phaser cannon panels should also be spaced apart evenly.

Very cool, I like. But aren't they pulse weapons?

Thanks for the welcome and the cookie Farshot, my first one.

Yes, I have HP'd and done some clean up on most of cinqnic/cperkins models released to BC. I have first hand experience of his improving modeling skills.  He produces them faster than I can hard point and package them for release.

Aries, I am opting for a pulse effect with the phasers instead of actual pulse weapons. If I am not satisfied with the results then I will swap the phasers for pulse.

Thanks again for the comments and suggestions and I hope you enjoy our work.

That really don't look good, using the images. Use the ones you already made.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

hmm. Maybe this ship will help? it has one pulse phaser emitter on the bow, if i recall. fires like a normal phaser does. I'll link you in case you need the reference. :)

Also, you have grouped those pulse cannons way too close to each other. They should be spread out evenly around the entire saucer section and not grouped all close together at the bow of the ship.

I also suggest that you shouldn't use pictures taken directly from the trailer as it looks bad.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Definatley stick with your own texture.

And I think their trying to tell you that the weapons are too close together and not evenly spaced.. their is a promenant gap imbetween them. see pic
