Lookin good....  ;D ;D ;D ;D  Though without being too critical here, I don't like the nacelle pylons.. They look a bit "fussy"... What I mean is unnecessarily so... If that makes sense...

I DO like the saucer shape though... sweeet  :D :D :D :D :D

What's your poly count running at for this??

There's my NCF.  :thumbsup: :notworthy:

I'm curious about the poly count as well.  Some of the higher-end stuff tends to lag my game.

Thanks guys, Poly count on this is way too high as it is coming in on the 12,000 mark, I was making this for a BC conversion not for SFC, if their is demand, Im sure I could RACK DOWN THE POLY'S for a sfc release :)

I really like this one, call me crazy but its TOS. I like the shape of the saucer, not circular but it looks TOS still. the short neck and comparitivly large secondary hull make it look bulldog tuff.

I agree with the comment on the pylons, they need to be straight. The warps need to be bigger and pushed back a bit so that you can see the brussard caps in the top view.

this is cool, looks a bit like an TOS Intrepid/Voyager, the overal design is great only the nacelle pylons don't match with the rest of the design

Ok, I will straighten the pylons, and extend the length of the necelles slightly and bring them back as you guys have suggested  ;)

Ok.. so I straightend the pylons and brought the necceles back, texturing has been done on the saucer and pylons and one buzzard.. Just wanted to show, as I realise the texturing is slightly unconventional for a TOS fed, but I want ths to look smaller and tougher than a connie so I thought the texturing needed to be distinctive and harsher ;)

Anyway... Im gonna continue tomorrow  ;D

Yes, please.  I've got an older system (but cable, thank the gods), and the higher-end stuff get's pretty laggy.  WZ'sa stuff is about as high poly as I can go.

Ship looks great, btw.  Personally, I like the phaser hardpoints a bit more defined texture-wise, wereas you, like WZ, have just the 'shadow' effect on the hardpoints.  But that's just me, hasn't kept me from collecting all his stuff, lol.
