*Daihak sits in the captain's chair of his Mark 6 Connie, then sees this new ship on screen, then wets his pants*  YIKES!!!!  Incredible design.  She looks absolutely MEAN!!!  If I had a ship like this right now on OP, I don't think people would want to mess with me.

and is it me or do those textures have a Photoshop feel to them (ie have you gone over and enhanced them in photoshop after making them in paint)

Magnificent!  A refreshing design.  The nose and tips of the engines are a brilliant idea and i happen to think the present color scheme works well together.

What an amazing ship- it looks like a Romulan- oooooooooohhhhhhh!  ;D :D

Really, can you tell us anything about the Sheliak? Are you planning to create any others vessel classes of them?

Red_Green...might i suggest using an overlay of low-contrast clouds instead of noise...anything else is a bit up-in-your-face and un-sutble.

First: Glad you mates like the design...I have a fleet of 9 ships already done...I am still thinking on a CV...and that should be it

Second: when these ships are released, They will not be allowed to be bashed or altered in any way ...Usually I don't have a problem with kitbashes or stuff, so I say this because as of last few months people have been just doing stuff without my knowledge or permission...or it gets done and shown
without asking me or at least informing me before they post...so please unless you get my permission don't just take it upon yourself to "post first ask later"

All you mates know that I usually say yes...so please be considerate  :-\

Sorry Azel.  I should have sent you those pics before posting them. I never would have released anything without your permission. I have never seen anyone have a problem with altering textures before. Its common practice for people to do retextures and post them and then ask for permission.

I never intended to release anything. I didn't think you would me seeing as most of your ships don't contain read me's.

red_green, the Cardy texture looks sharp. Nice.

Azel, I'm sure red_green didn't mean any harm. Sounds
like he is alot like me and gets excited when he gets something
new to play with.   ;D
I agree with asking permission first.

It's cool...I know that you wouldn't mate...it was just a general statement ahead of time for the fleet...I think I posted one similar in my stealth ship thread as that was the first ship that I implemented this general rule

this sh*t would sucka s a cardie, it's nowhere close to cardassian design principals. However, as it is now it's pretty sweet lookin. Looks a fair share larger than a galaxy class too. To bad these guys were not more developed in tng..beyond a modified merchantman.

Well look at a 1920 ford and then look  at a 2005 Ford and you could say that Ford is no where near there own design perameters. Design evolves over time and ST timeline supposedly takes place over a few hundred years. Given contact with new races with various new technologies, design methods would concievably chamge even faster than if the Cardassian world had been isolated.

I think it looks sweet as a Cardy. I also think this ship could fly either way. Meaning it would look good no matter which end was the front. Those designs on the wings and center hull could be thought of as engines if that were the aft, or as weapon pods if they were the front. Just an overall great design, I see lots of possibilities for it. I'd like to see the wing/strut mergerd into 1 piece with the main hull making it more streamlined. Ca't wait to see the rest of the fleet.
