Hello everyone.
A while ago, Kreeargh built an Osiris Model. He used Reddragon's Dawnstar textures to put some clothes on her, and turned her over to me. Since then I've been tinkering with the textures, a little thing here, a little thing there, hoping that the little things would eventually add up. I think she's pretty much as ready for release as I can get her at my level of skill (I am "t3h suxx0r" at drawing Aztec). I've made the Deflectors and bussard swirls from scratch, the warp foils are from something I screwed with, when I was messing around with the stock FDD textures (they began life as a sprite from a map in Sonic the Hedgehog 2).
The registry USS Neversail NCC-0000 is a fake/prototype registry I'm using to figure out where all the hull markings will go. I'm going to make several alternate registries for each of the Osiris-Class ships (though I think I might keep the Neversail registry for mine ^_^) I've still a couple things left to do. As well as finishing the Ship info.
Here is what I've got so far for the Osiris info.

::CLASS HISTORY::
The Osiris-Class Light Cruiser was launched in 2385 to replace the venerable Miranda Class, and the Sabre-class. Even moreso as Deep-Space probe ships designed to fill out Starfleet's presence in the Gamma Quadrant. These craft are built to handle just about any situation. Despite their relatively small size, Osiris-Class postings are sought after because of the pure exploration these ships were designed for.
Initially versitile craft, a number of design defects existed with the original five ships. These defects were eliminated with the second group. The first group underwent significant refits to bring them to the newer ship's specs. These ships noteworthy capabilities include the following as of 2395.
Starship separation: Initially, the saucer sections of these craft were designed to serve as life-boats in case of a catastrophe in the stardrive section. As of the second group and the 2395 refit however, both the primary and stardrive sections were made fully functional. The improved stardrive even deploys forward and aft phaser banks mounted on her engine support pylons, one refit designer's nod to the Defiant-Class. The massive impulse engine in aft of the saucer was converted to a shuttlebay as well after the fitting of two seperate engines on the saucer, by a rather amused Starfleet Corps. of Engineers (the empty space the Impulse engine once occupied carried a tiny electrical charge).
Multiphasic Adaptive, Temporal, and Psychic (barrier) shielding: In response to the frequency of starships travelling through time, the scientists at Starfleet R&D have researched ways of shielding ships from events, energies, or anomalies that may cause or facilitate time travel. The Barrier shielding was pioneered by the USS Enterprise-E when the ship had no choice but to hide within the Galactic Barrier from the gaseous entities known as the Calamarain. The neural gel-packs channel the psychic energy of the Barrier into the shields.
Secondary-Craft: The Osiris-Class lacks a captain's yacht, but each carries one prototype Los-Angeles Class Runabout, as well as type 14 shuttlecraft, and a Delta Flyer/Stability Class Shuttle. (Had to MarkyD, you 'da man)

Here are some shots of her in dock, thought it was an appropriate place to take them while I'm stil working on her.
So...what do you think? Is there any way she could fill the Miranda's shoes for the Post TNG/STO era?
