Well Im waiting on seeing how you do the war versions of the ships Like where you put the power pack and the extra engines.

What are the Lyran X era designs going to look like?

Well, I found a site that has loads and loads of ssd's for 1st, 2nd and even 3rd generetion X-ships and the guy has done alot for the Lyrans, all in different styles depending upon which county they come from. This is the one I like best:

 

Ignore the content of the ssd, I think it was a 3rd generation x-ship, and in my mind they're kinda munchkiny  

but thats waaaaaaaaaaay down the road. But at least I have an idea

I'm presuming you mean the Trimaran's? well they'll be done pretty much the same as the Lion with the extra warp over the rear. As for the power packs, I'd like to do seperate ships with and without, but whether I can do a universal pack that will fit all ships remains to be seen. I thought about it on the lion, but ended up leaving it off till I do the smaller Tri's which are much more dependant on the packs to run properely. Hopefully tho

Once we get the Leopard I'll be able to run off the LDR version quickly as it's just a stretched Cheetah. Then a WYN Destroyer will be fairly easy to do, just have to come up with a base hull texture and then run the glowy areas through a filter and slap a WYN badge on. Speaking of which anyone got a nice pic of the WYN symbol I can use?

Oh and Rod, how could you forget the WYN pocket Battleship that'll be an absolute beast.  

Great! I love having the LDR and WYN versions that you've done.

Oh, I didn't forget the PBB. Trust me, when the trimie came along you would have seen the request/suggestion go up.

Love it! Spots are great. Any Bengal Tigers comin' our way?

[The_Infiltrator]

Have you considered doing spot type variant retextures on the ships you've already done? Also, I must say I like the disruptor ports on the Lyran FF - have you thought about using that for the rest of the ships (it seems the DD will have them as well)?

Also, there's a pic of an unpainted model in the starfleet games store on ADB's website of the bottom of the STT, which shows the battery banks and the maulers. Might be good as a base if you want to go that way.

[Marauth]

The others have the disruptor ports already, in the same location no less.

I think the spots are because this is the Cheetah class while the Tigers have tiger stripes, it's nice to have some distinction between the classes anyway.
