Alllrighty then! Update time!

After a long break I have continued working on the Gemini, I am currently In the process of rebuilding the texture map of the catamarans and the warp nacelle pylons. Progress Is slow but It's getting there, I think my biggest problem will be having to change the alpha to match the new window placement.

Also I would also like to give a very big thank you to Bankrupt Studios for their help In fixing the mapping issues.

Here Is a quick preview of the progress being made to the Catamarans.

That's great, but I'm sure people will ask the same question...what are you going to do about those phasers that are caught in the catamarans???

good job. I've seen this done before but never this well.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

Thanks Starforce. I can't take all the credit though, there's a bunch of people behind the scenes working on this as well.

Speaking of work, rebuilding the catamaran texture has become more tedious than I originally expected. I should be able to complete work on it, but it's going to take longer than I expected.

I believe the final content of this pack will be a fine addition to anyone's install, and it will include the following:

Gemini Class
Gemini Refit
Gemini Heavy Tactical Refit

Gemini Branded Type 11 Shuttlecraft
Wiley's Valkyrie
Gemini Bridge

New year, new update!

After discussion, I have extended the color scheme onto the weapons pod. As it gives the ship a balance that it needed.

Gonna work on the Gemini refit soon.

Alright got this texture problem finally fixed!

Glows, and new impulse engines have been added.

Also I know the glows look a little bright on the catamarans, this has already been fixed.

Phaser fix coming soon. :D

Edit: Please forgive the choppiness of my pictures, I was running on lower settings for a different game, and I forgot to turn the graphics back up lol

Doing final touch up on the Gemini, fixed a lot of things that bothered me, now the scheme has a nice continuous look to it, rather than being jagged in certain areas.

Current picture below.

Edit 5:46AM

Current picture updated.

looks good. Just think the aft texture is too much lighter than the torpedo-pod.
