Top WIP is my first Lyran attempt. As I am unfamiliar with this race I need some feedback on it.

That could pass as TNG Lyran in my opinion.

Cheers Rogue. I've updated the WIP and added some proto-textures... is it any better?

I agree, it's good. This screams TNG Lyran to me too.

Without trying to sound greddy,OK so I am model greddy

might you be willing to create an entire TNG Lyran fleet for us Major Racal sir? This is fine work indeed.

I'd have figured it was Lyran before anyone told me- seems obvious to me

I concur, it's most definately a TNG looking design, but still very much a Lyran.

Thanks everyone.

As i said earlier, I have no real knowledge of the Lyrans, and this project was initiated in part by an off-the-cuff request someone made (a bit like my Gorn efforts). I really needed to know if it was along the right sort of line, and I'm glad to hear you all seem to like her. I shall try and get her ready for release fairly shortly.

MP - I shall see what I can come up with to build a complete line of ships (I have a few other ideas going through my head just now - and it would be nice to release at least one complete set).

I've noticed that the Lyrans seem to be named after cats. I think this is fine, but most of them have probably been used already so if anyone has any suggestions for class names, please let me know. Oh yeah, and I need a rough idea about how Lyrans ships are usually armed (bear in mind I only have SFC3 - I've been trying to find a copy of SFC2 and Bridge Commander, but without any success as they both appear to have been deleted.)

Incidentally, I am also working on a couple of new Gorn ships to join the Anole and Grendal, so hopefully I'll complete a set of them too, given time.

As always, I'll keep you all posted with my efforts, and since work seems to be picking up again just now, my production will no doubt grow more erratic over the coming months.

Many thanks to you all.

I'm not sure the nacelle fits as a tng nacelle, but the rest of the ship defenetly looks lyran.

Actually they're not nacelles - they're supposed to be heavy cannons. However, after some discussions I've had, I'm in the process of making some alterations to those as they do look a lot like TOS nacelles. If you look at the three WIP images you should notice that the nacelles have actually been integrated into the lateral booms, but they still need a little work too.
