For what it's worth, the immediate thought that occurred to me was this this modification.  The central column could have been stored in one of the pods for transport, which would subsquently be modified to cargo / shuttle bay / fighter bay.  I could also see the central part sticking "up" somewhat with a command deck.

I could definately go somewhere with that, too. I'll bear that in mind :-)

In other news, the Disruptor turrets are now textured (not really worthy of a render). I think when I get a chance I will go back and add them to the klinks (as well as proper phaser turrets and beacons, which they lack).

Thank you both.

It's amazing what some grunge and highlighting can do. (I have no added it to the pods, yet)

Sweet! Love your take on the Mirak and the textures are just as impressive! (only part I'm really qualified to comment on) Can't wait to see the rest fleshed-out!

Not crazy about the glowy. If you are dead set on that maybe a more subdued color, like amber? (Though it would look better without glow, IMHO.)

If I were to put the warp grilles as amber, the entire ship would be warm colors except for the deflector and the little phaser paint boxes. The deflector would be standing alone - the cyan warp grilles helps pull in the color of the deflector (and vice-versa). Also, the cyan warp grilles adds some cool colors to the palette.

Also, the reason why I want glowy warp engines is this:

It looks awesome when under minimal light, thanks to the illumination map.

I agree; with this color scheme, it does look very pulled together. This looks terrific.

I like the amber tips on the warp nacells myself.  Red Bussards Drive me up a wall for some reason.  I don't even look at anybody's TNG Klinks for that reason.   :thumbsup:

Got some details onto the nacelles and struts thanks to Tus.
