Regal Class

[Nihilus]

Dominion sounds like a good idea to finish it.  Or if you wanted to really be crazy you could add a Delta Quadrant race, like the Talaxians or something.  Although I have no idea what their symbol looks like lol.

[Captain_D]

Dominion sound ok to me too, but NOT the BORG, because then of course, negotiation would be irrelevant. 

Looks great how you have it set up.

 Nice

[cinqnic]

if you wanted to be really crazy add the star wars symbol, its about time we started talking to them
ie one of these

Jem'Hadar........

[Kirk]

That has to be the ugliest carpet ever.

Vulcans are part of the federation

[Locke]

Vulcans are part of the federation

Yeah, but I was running out of symbols.  I put the Ferengi in there, for Pete's sake. :roll

I guess the Dominion is next, and if anyone thinks of any others, I can replace the Vulcans.

[deadthunder2_0]

the Voth...
after all, they are from earth

[Locke]

The Voth are from the Delta Quadrant though . . . too far away to have an ambassador on a Federation ship.  And weren't they kinda jerks, too?

Not too much to update.  Found a better carpet (for what it's worth) and added the Dominion.  Also added a couple of glows, as well as some shadowing.  I'll add the rest tomorrow.  The other shot is of the Atrium.  Those aren't the actual shadows and glows, that's from light rigging in Max so I could figure out what shadows went where.  Still working on that one.  And before anyone says anything, that isn't carpet: it's grass! ;)

Looks pretty nice.  The Voth may have been jerks and from the Delta Quadrant, but they also had superior technology, including Transwarp Drive.  I'm sure at least some of them would eventually be curious about that Professors findings.

Nest a thought, but should the Hull your working on be located elce where on the ship? Attached to the bridge is a sevear security breach.

[deadthunder2_0]

well it might not be attached to the bridge, as in no door

[Locke]

Actually, both of the doors you see on the far wall lead to the bridge.  But it isn't necessarily easy-access.  The doors are set to certain bio-electric patterns, and the consoles on the bridge will not respond to anyone except the authorized user.  This is accomplished by fingerprints, more bio-electric scanning and constant DNA analysis.  After all, the bridge on ANY starship has prevention techniques just like this: you had to have clearance to access the bridge on the Enterprise D, and STILL people were beaming directly there every other week!

Breen? Tholians?

[Locke]

Breen? Tholians?

I don't think the Tholians would deign to set foot upon a Federation starship if they didn't absolutely have to.

I thought about the Breen, but the amount of information on them just didn't seem large enough.  Are they a major power in the galaxy?  They seemed more like coattail chasers in the Dominion War.  Although they are a powerful race.  Perhaps they'll get a seat . . .

wow love the work i tried to do what you are doing with the decade class but never as good as your work, keep up the good work,

[BFGfreak]

I know that since I'm new here, I probibly don't have too much say in things, but what about that one race from SFC2, the name escapes me at the moment, I think it's called the ISC. It would be a nice little easter egg for anyone who's played that game, besides, what's funner then referencing a one time villain race that is only dangerous that one episode.

Thanks!  I like the look of your Decade class, although I'm not a fan of TNG era ships.  The one thing I can immediately see that you might have missed is including depth in the window frames.  If you look at my images, you will see a noticeable thickness to the hull where the window frame is.  Also look at closeups of Voyager's windows as well as the later seasons of DS9 and the Promenade to get the idea.  With that added, you'll get much more of the feeling of a piece of glass (or transparent aluminum!) between you and the interior of the ship.

It would probably be fun to do that, but if I were going to include a non-canon race it would probably need to be the Kessok, for obvious reasons.

Something I was thinking of a while back, and a little off-topic: why has the Federation never encountered a group like itself?  Surely there has to be at least one civilization in the galaxy that learned to exist peacefully and use diplomacy.  There have been many races that the crews of the various ships have encountered that this is true for, but no alternative to the Federation.  Everyone else has either been bad news (the Dominion) or self-centered (the Romulans, Cardassians, Klingons, etc).

Same reason we never saw a Connie (in one piece) in TNG. Confusion over the hero.
