I like it.

Sort of looks like a transition stage between the cylindrical ships and the Kelvin from the JJ - verse.

Not a pleasant looking ship, the over-under configuration of the nacelles whist making the Akula look good only accentuate the bad saucer config on this ship. Then again what does make a good ship, I define that very simply - one that I've made lol

Well made my friend, have fun with her. Why not make a TMP version?

davemetlesits In reply to karanua [2009-09-24 21:53:27 +0000 UTC]

I don't know how to make a TMP Warp nacelle. If I conce manage to do that, I can try building a TMP ship, but that nacelle... half the design elements, greebles, nurnies and other chicken shit is concentrated on the nacelles on a TMP ship!

so pinch one of someone elses till you can. People are always ripping Eric Petersens shit for the engines alone. Its not that hard actually, I got myself a plastic starship kit and chopped a built one into sections, its one way probly not THE best way but it helped me when I started doing them.

It's against my principles to harvest from other meshers' ships for my own model. It's okay when I kitbash something but not when I intend to release them like I am planning to.

get the guys permission, many will give it freely so long as you don't plan to use their mesh with only a few polys changed. I still do that for meshes I released in 2000/2002.

Nah, it's either completely mine or nothing. That's my principle.
