CG popping in got me thinking about the old days of BC modding, and I started thinking about ships that haven't been done. I got to thinking along the lines of remaking a popular non-canon ship from BC's far past. The one that stood out most in my mind was the Eximus Class by Cleeve.
Now, this is obviously not an exact rebuilt as I'm sure many of you will immediately notice. The saucer on this is quite different, a bit more functional than the old diamond shape. I am, however, working hard to ensure some character defining elements will be present, such as: the long swept in nacelles, wide spanning impulse engine, under saucer weapons areas at the front of the engines, saucer bussards, and of course the lack of a cutaway at the rear of the engineering hull.
The textures will be strongly based on the Sov, as the original model by Cleeve was. Speaking of which, if anyone is in contact with Cleeve could you direct him to this thread? I would like to inform him of this project. The ship is different enough that it probably needn't be called Eximus, but the project is really meant more as a tribute to a great ship than to "improve" the original.
Plenty of work to be done on model before the textures start, as I intend to have it highly detailed.
