Darn it, DJ. You're emptying my cookie jar. :/

-Hands over last cookie-

So this is a beauty, as all your work thus far as I've seen. If you need to, take your time. A ship like this, I'm certain, is well worth the wait.

What was the minimum postcount in order to be able to give cookies? :/

Anyways, a worthy successor to the Defiant. Although, wouldn't the registry need an "A"? She's not the first Valiant, after all ;)

Hopefully, you'll be able to finish her up by March 3rd, like you said, I can barely wait to take her out for a spin...

I think minimum postcount was 250
you should be right with the fact it would have to be "A"

Yer' both right, I'm pretty sure she'd have to be the "A". Though I'm sure he'll get around to that. Also, yes, the post count must be 250 to give cookies, at the rank of Captain... at least I think. Somehow, I was able to give cookies a while back while at a lower rank. Not sure what was up with that, but I'm not complaining.

In any case this ship is looking very cool, and I particularly love the shots Dj put together with the Valiant and galaxy classes. Looks very sharp.

Wow, I was hoping for an update on this one!!  Great shots DJ.

And no, this doesn't have to be the Valiant "A".  It would only need an "A" if it had the same registry as a previous ship named Valiant.  Example: The Nebula-class USS Farragut didn't have an A.  The Defiant, though named after the old Constitution-class Defiant, wasn't an "A".  The Intrepid, the Potemkin, the Saratoga.  All of those ships were named for previous starships but had new registry numbers, therefore they didn't get the Alpha-designate like the Enterprise did.

Oh, I see.
Thank you for the clarification.  :)

That's it for MY commentary, then...

Have cookie # 160!

Great design and product as always.  You've certainly got an eye for Federation ships.  Can't wait to see what kind of ships you come up with when you turn your attention to non-federation ships.

The Valiant is in-game and in the process of being HP'd.

The weapons and shields will all be similar to the Defiant, but enhanced accordingly.

Be prepared... You will need to learn how to fly this ship.  It's a killer, but not if you aren't able to control it.  If you can however, enemy torpedoes will become a non-issue.

Still some texture additions and changes to come, but for the most part, that stuff is finished.  I will be shooting for a weekend release with this ship.

Cool. I'm wondering, could you release it to someone who is good at making movies of BC action, as a means of showcasing your work? Perhaps one of the vaunted members of the BCC Modders Fleet could demonstrate it in action? I'd love to see that.

I'd actually love to do it, but I don't have my gaming PC set up ATM. Give me a few days and maybe I can do it. Until then, I'd suggest you make a community request for it- these kids would kill their parents and commit heinous acts with farm animals for you DJ.
