Persistence rules.
by Joe Clark
Persistence
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
You all have stayed the course and I salute you. What a novel work of modeling.

Ya know Dizzy .. sometimes you can be a real gem ... when you want to be ... this is one of those times
I might add to your statement .... a heart felt: "AMEN" !!!!
RIGHT ON BRO !!
PREACH IT !!
thanks !
Sandman ... you sir have came a long way in the development of your skills. The drafting of the Titan may have been my little brain storm .. but between you and several others it is now a reality. As for re-texture... goodness dude .. even some of Ricks work has been re-textured !!
IMHO this is an on going process in which all of us who do this sort of thing learn more, grow .... and develop newer and better ideas. That will go for you as well. Wait about 6 months from now ... and reopen this work ... and see how far YOU have grown !!
Well ... this old man has bobbled enough....
Oh ... while I'm at it .... here is a little piece of history done by MP that sets the mood for the development of the ship. It also is well done.
Federation Titan Class Advanced Deterrence Dreadnaught USS TITAN NCC-76452
In 2365 construction began on the Sovereign Class starship and soon after Starfleet realized it's need for a TRUE Dreadnaught to compliment the Sovereign so in 2368 Utopia Planitia begins construction of the Titan Class . Over the course of the next several years,the Titan Class goes through several revisions due to flaws discovered in the Galaxy Class design,and with lessons learned during Starfleets battle with the Borg in 2373,and the Dominion War.In 2375 after the Enterprise's Briar Patch incident Starfleet orders a new nacelle design to be fitted for the Titan.In 2376 the Nx Titan begins her preliminary shakedown trials.In 2377 the Titan receives her final revisions after being refitted with technologies recently returned with the starship Voyager.And in 2378 the newly christened USS TITAN NCC-76452 is launched with Captain William Riker in command.
Short,simple,and canon.
