Just a thought. Isn't vesta a type of 1970's ready made curry??
Or am I just being silly again?

 :funny, ores, :funny, better atmostpheas stearing, :dance.

Ok, its time to show her in her full glory, yes, i jest finshed her, :yay:. SHe is fully equiped with 6 torpideo tubes, 8 phaser strips and 2 pulse emitters. Even with all the special pics i got from her designer, there are still some grey area that i'm still not sure what they are so i went with my gut. As she stands, a strong 95% true to spec and a whopping 16 656 poly's. SO take a gander at the pics and let me know what you think.

Whats next for this model you ask?

Well i've been in talks with the best modders here and i'm pleased to say that WC will be mapping this beuty and JB06 has offered his amazing talients for texturing. Yes, thats right, we got an allstar cast on her.

Hping and download info you ask?

Well there we have the best also chompping at the bit to get her.

Tiqhud will be heading up the standered Vesta class pack for medem to low PC's with standered KM 1 requeriments and standered texture size.

And me and GMunoz will be working and Advanced Fleet Pack for meidem to high PC's compleat with high res textures and all six ship regs of the hole Vesta fleet. But wait, there is more, she'll also have animated textures. What's that, not enuff? Fine, you twisted my arm, for a limited time, if you order in the next 30 days we will through in free of cost [always wanted to say that], our new SF: R&D weaponry pack.

Take a look and enjoy :thumbsup:

Looks nice. My only nitpick is the deflector trench. Something does not look quite right about it.

WC, its jest the lighting, i'll be sending you the ship in a moment. Feel free to ulter the deflector if you wish.

For the rest, here is a size comp with the CG Sovy. Assuming the Sovy is to scale, the Vesta is only a couple meters shorter.

Very nice!  Don't forget that she needs to be hp'ed with both standard warp drive but also slipstream drive.  ;)

Quick update on the textures... Started on the saucer section still got a lot to work on, but the basics are starting to form up.

As it is right now it reminds me of the Hiigaran paint scheme, I like.
