A question to all those more knowledgeable on starship specs than I.  in the attached pic i have marked what appears to be the phasers banks, shuttle bays, and torpedo tubes. My question is this, there appears to be no impulse engines on the ship -  should there be? Also there is no blue print of what the bottom side of this ship should look like so most of what will be there will be my best guess of what it should look like based on a combonation of other ships

There you go, this looks like it. Want a coloring guide too? ;D lol Dunno if you missed the nacelle strut phaser strips.

PS. use hex #EFEFEF for the hull color ;)

Thanks  Adonis, I had an idea that was where the impulse was but it just seemed a little small to me compared to the rest of the ship. And no I didn't miss the nacelle and strut  phaser strips I still have a lot of small details to add yet, also thanks for the color suggestion.

Don't forget there's a third torp tube on the neck under the saucer, in the same place the Galaxy's launcher is.

Also, here's a picture I found of the ventral view.

Great work on the mesh. Now with equally high detailed textures, this ship will be awesome :D

Vyrus, that was a quick map. How did you do it so fast - Mapping always seems to lull and slow me down.

Lots of practice and the fact that when I flesh out a mesh I do it with unwrapping in mind.f you start with a map friendly mesh mesh it speeds up the process 10 fold.

one thing on the pics that you have writing on the the two bay doors on the saucer if you look
closely have 2a and 2b.i believe the with the small door at the front of the saucer right above the saucer torpedo launcher the class has three shuttlebays and there is a total of three torpedo launchers one on the saucer one at the dorsal neck and one aft.but its coming along nicely i hope to see more
there are great starship designs and there is crap

How about you let the author add to this thread himself, without having you bump the thread every 2-3 weeks?

Unlike the BC Community, some of us here don't take offense when a thread is bumped.  It shows that people really like the work that was being done, which means that what we do is appreciated.  Like F_W said, the thread isn't forgotten.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

How about you not get snide with me when all I'm doing is expressing appreciation and a desire for further progress on a model I myself requested to have made?

Sheesh, I'm so sorry that my wanting this model released offends you.

I'm not worried about it, FW. I just don't like being talked to like some noob by someone who evidently doesn't grasp that not everybody does things the same way the BC folks do, and I think it's overly arrogant to simply assume such and call someone out like that.

I recommend we all get drunk and have a toga party.

well im not gonna comment on that as i dont want to see another flame war start up that or detract away from AV's awsome work. but i will recommend that it gets dropped before it gets out of hand
I would highly suggest this as well, otherwise it will be another headache for the D.net admin/mod staff.




Awesome models by the way :)

Very well. Far be it from me to be the cause of a new flame war around here. Anything further can be handled privately.

Response to last post:
lol F9th.  Somtimes is seems that in curent event's it's best that we all get drunk, duke it out and find common ground.  Made some good freinds that way as we all have I'm sure.

On Topic:
Guys, FANTASTIC work on that model.  I'll be first to admit, I'm no moder but from all the things I'v seen it strikes pretty darn high indeed! 
Great work, Kudo's you've earned it!
