Ambassador Class

[Bones]

This leaves me speechless :eek The best Ambassador ever !

Hey DJ, any chance to have red hull lines on saucer registry level (like on Excelsior or Miranda) ?

geez I forgot about cookie ... again

[DJ Curtis]

Don't know about the red lines Bones, but maybe.

Anyhoo, pretty much the only thing left to texture is the bridge module, and I'm going to do a little of my own detailing in the undercut as well as a few other places.  ALSO STILL HAVE TO TEXTURE ON THE NACELLE DOCKING PORTS.  (you catch that, Neb?)

I think this ship will have set my construction time record for mesh start to texture finish.

Also, as far as HP is concerned, I'm basically going to take the various strengths from my Galaxy Class and make the Ambassador 75% of those values.  Any other suggestions?

[Nihilus]

SWEEEET!  Will you be looking for Beta testers?  Because I'm definitely willing to take her out and see how she handles, taking some high resolution in-game screenshots at the same time.

[Side 3]

Wow, that's a very smooth mesh! I can't see a single sharp edge at all. I'm sure she'll be loads of fun to roll around the quadrant in.

Thanks for all the compliments, guys.  She's all done, ready to be ported and HP'd.  Glows and specular textures are done.  Oh yeah, and I turned on some windows. ;)

Best of all?  Only two 2048x2048 textures are used on this baby.    She'll look good and run like a charm.

Beauty shots...

[Captain_D]

 Just fantastic. Can't say enough about this one, This is as awesome as you can get. It's an Ambassador PLUS.

The lights are on, he has tricked this ship out so much they have heavy tint on 'em

[Nebula]

this ship would actually be the best to try coords nif/texture edit now that I think about it...

I would imagine a Amby that served in the war and post war would be brought up to TNG spec Galaxy class ships with Type 10 phasers and similar strenght shields, depends on the period of ST your shooting for though

I would love to beta this also, I could make a free for all for my P81 Amby, my lint amby, and my JLS amby. DJ your waaaay to good

[Cmdr. Madden]

i just crapped myself.

nice job 

[moed]

Beautiful ship.

[DJ Curtis]

Okay guys.  It's done.  HP, tactical icons, plugin, all of it.
