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.
