Thanks guys, and I'm hoping to find a copy of my fixed NIF of the Gemini In my archives. If I find It the bussard will be fixed, that's what I'm most worried about and I'm pretty sure that I will find It. It will just take me some time.

I don't know how much higher poly that you can get with a kitbashed CG Sovereign, SNS Akria, and the Dita Von Tesse rolled Into one LOL

While I'm waiting for certain things I have decided to do something a little more internal lol

Gemini MSD!

Thinking of even doing a bridge to put this bad boy In, Maybe FC Excelsior bridge? We'll see :D

Update 5:02 AM:

Well I sure did this a way lot faster than last time, this Is the current position of the MSD.

nice MSD :D

im thinking a retext of the Sovereign Bridge...  either a retext of 3rd Era's Sov bridge, or a retext of the original stock sov bridge (larger viewscreen)...
reason im thinking that is because the saucer is a Sovereign-style saucer; to me, a Sovereign-style bridge would seem logical...  :)

I was thinking that too, but ships with similar hulls don't always have the same bridge. Consider the Nebula, same hull different bridge. I'm still not sure what bridge will be used right now, but I will keep everyone apprised.

like Jimmy said nice MSD!
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

I should be hearing something from Fallen Warrior tomorrow, In the mean time the MSD Is complete.

There are 3 easter eggs hidden In this one, to those first who can find and say what they are will receive a cookie! 1 is easy, the other two are hard to find but I will give you a hint: They are American spacecraft from history.

For a more complete description of the MSD, and detailed progress on the Gemini please confer to MeteorCreations projects and blog pages, link's in the signature :D

Update: Thanks to Darkthorne the mapping issues are being taken care, of as well as the phasers so the overall quality of the catamarans will be greatly improved.

There Is also an update to the pack, a second version of the Gemini will be released with modified JLS textures, more news on that soon.

The only thing I had to stretch unfortunately Is the LCARS frame, the rest of It Is not stretched.

Great detail on that MSD :D

have you decided on which bridge to retexture for it yet?

Yeah I think that the FC Excelsior bridge will still be used, It see the most worthy candidate. The Prometheus bridge was also brought up for consideration, but In my opinion there's just way too much unused space on that bridge. With the open room on that bridge you could put a small hot tub or a pool table lol, It will just take a few modifications to the FC Excel bridge and of course the MSD :D

I have to agree with him. The warp nacelles look particularly blurred. That and the jagged edges of the main ship outline. It's not that it looks bad, it just doesn't look sharp.

aww drat...  i was hoping youd go for a Sovvy bridge...  so very little of those retextures (3rd era's bridge anyway) and a number of fc excelsiors currently...
ah well, cant have enough bridge retextures; even if alot of them are the same couple of bridges :P

Hmm, well I did get permission from Mark to retexture the Sovereign bridge after all... hmmm We'll see ;)

I am working to increase the sharpness of the Nacelle In the MSD, I am also re-doing the outer hull line, It should be a lot more clear and sharp this time around.
