Working on the Gemini's support craft a little bit, It's gonna carry Type 11's and Valkyries. Although I don't know If I should used a revamped version of the one that's In the old Sentinel 3.1 pack, or Wiley's version which I am leaning toward more for the time being. But here's some In game shots of the Type 11 with modified textures to match the Gemini and a few ways, namely the engines, bussards, registry, interior, and impulse engines.

On a side note, I stumbled upon that If I just replace the stock KM Type 11 with this one by just replacing the model and textures that It will work as If nothing was changed lol

Anyways here's teh pics!

Go with Wiley's Valkyrie.  There are a few inaccuracies, but it's still the best one out there.

I agree with Shadowknight. Go with Wiley's.

I shall be going with Wiley's, and he will be building a new one. Not only for the pack, but to update his previous one that he has created. Using the reference material I have acquired, and I will also be acquiring the original models and CGI models from Star Trek Invasion, those should help nicely :D

Wait, a new Valkyrie from Wiley?  Sweet!  I'm gonna guess the Mark I Valkryie since...well, the other ones kinda suck.  :funny

...does this mean we might be seeing the Typhon as well? :P

Well I am getting the Typhon along with the other models but It Is CGI quality and It would have to be scaled down for BC or rebuilt.

Since this pack Is getting a little too big, and being unable to come up with a descent name for It the pack It will be split Into two. A separate pack for the Gemini and Sentinel will be done, on another note the Gemini pack will include 3 variants of the same class and will be listed as follows:

Note: These configurations are subject to change and are not final.

Gemini Original (Updated):
It will feature updated CG Sovereign style textures, as well as a hardpoint comparable to the Sovereigns.

Gemini Refit:
JLS Inspired textures, reinforced hull with selectable Photons and Quantum torpedoes (half and half) , and a Quantum Slipstream Drive.

Last but not least
Gemini Heavy Tactical Refit:
It will be using the textures that you have all seen so far, It will also feature only Quantum torpedoes, ablative armor, stronger shields, more powerful phaser arrays, and will also feature a Quantum Slipstream Drive

The second set of Gemini textures for the Gemini Refit Is underway, Darkthorne Is at the helm on this one and It's looking pretty sharp so far. Here's a couple shots.

I love these, the dark plating and that your adding extra details. But. There are 2 things i would look in to.The mapping on the from the akiras struts  i thing need to be redone so that the lines don't go wavie, and the second it to tone down or removing some of the Aztec plating  from the pylons, struts and the pod. She is starting to look like a speckled trout. Maby tone it down , or do some sections, or even move it to the spec map to show up during some lighting. you got my download, i hope you don't take offence to this. But some times to much, is to much. :thumbsup:

busy on the pylons? are you talking about the catamaran hulls? they were just darkened...

those things should be getting rebuilt/remapped in the future anyway.

Unless someone opts to rebuild them, that's as good as the remapping's going to get. Darkthorne managed to fix the forward areas on the Catamarans, speaking of the catamarans as far as I know the color has only been changed to match the Nemesis textures. It's the same detail as the regular texture, just darker.

Yeah so far the mapping on those and the Bussard has been fixed, hey would anyone possibly be able to graft some phaser strips onto the nacelle pylons?

I think honestly while I did what I can for mapping (I will admit I am a novice at that though) things would be best served finding someone to redo the catamaran hulls entirely
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Hey everyone just thought I would let you all know that Bankrupt managed to fix the mapping Issues that we had with the catamarans, and the fixed texture for them will be coming soon. I have just been taking somewhat of a break because I have been working non stop on this for a while, and I needed some time off. But I will be starting back up soon and continuing to work on both mods.
