Thanks for cookies lads :D glad you like this ship, I just finished HP and I came with two versions so you'll have choice beetwen one main dorsal and ventral saucer phaser array (like on galaxy) and the main array divided to 5 arcs (like on sovereign or DS9 galaxy) the first one will be of course powerful and fast phaser and 5-arcs array will be balanced to compensate ammount of phasers and their power.
I'll do some regs now and hopefully this ship will be ready for beta testing tomorrow :D and eventually released in few days ;)

EDIT: update on registry
this is first registry, there will be also NCC-76922 U.S.S. WARSAW and NCC- (forgot the number) -B  U.S.S HOOD (HOOD will be continued lineage of uss hood ships)

Hmm...dunno about the spelling but I like Krakow better than Cracow (besides the fact that both spellings in english are correct it seems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakow ). You could tho include the city's coat of arms on the ship...I think it would look really cool.

I like the "K" version as well...I think it would just look better.  The ship looks fantastic!!  I can hardly wait to try her out!  Great job indeed!

Yeah I also thought about Krak?w - pure form of this name in Polish, but I doubt starfleet ever used localized lettering like '?' or ?,?,? etc. etc. I think the best way to resolve this name will be ... poll :D

Hey Doc, she looks great. May I suggest that since the Hood took part in some of the major battles during the war you only give her an A prefix?

Also would be great to see perhaps some other Excelsior names like Repulse, Cairo and the Melbourne but with newer registries.

Can't wait for this baby.  :D

That's excellent idea about the coat of arms, I'll give it a try ;)
So far almost everyone voted for Krakow so I guess I'll change that reg to Krakow instead of Cracow.

As for the other Excelsiors I think I can spare some additional 5 megs of regs, you now the more the merryer :D

Krakow will definitely look good on her hull!  I look forward to what other names you will come up with as well.


This would be a ship any captain would be proud of.  Excellent work for sure!

For the coat of arms placements, look at my Novi Sad class. I did them on her too.

Another problem = another delay ;( I've broke my arm few hours ago and just came back from hospital :( tho good doc said this was very minor broke and bone will recover in about 2 weaks.
this will slow down my works significantly as this is my right arm ;( hopefully I'll be able to allign regs with left arm ;)

ouch, that's gotta hurt-

anyways, if you're gonna name this ship after the city, it's "Krakow".
the original one should be written in cyrilic, but the converted letters are those, so it's legal I think lol

btw, don't wanna blow down this ship, it's really a good mod, but dude, you should really do an ambassador
by the time of NEM, surely the excelsior is way outdated, I think this same style would also look nice on an ambassador.
the stock BC could look like a sort of refit of the Ent-C style one.
once you finish this one, why don't you try the same color scheme on it?
