on most GPU's it doesn't damage well on you just have to delete the voxnif that it comes with, the new voxnif that is generated should take care of any issues.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

I've don't think I've ever actually seen damage bugs either. I'm not saying they don't exist or anything. But that can't be that bad if both me and Neb have managed to not see them.

Honestly, i'v read in the forums that many objects in a model does not damage well or not work in BC. But i also have never seen this and thats why i menchond the CG model.

Hey friend, it?s a well done Excelsior! Can I own a copy of the actual version, in max format?  I don?t have plans to use her in game, but I believe she can fits very well in renderings. :)
You can have my high polly Ent-B if you like. She?s available for download at http://www.sicifi-meshes.com
Kinddest regards,
Cassio

OK I got some bad news.

Adonis was kind enough to have a look at my Excelsior model last night. He pointed out some issues that will make this model difficult if not impossible to port into BC.

The actual polycount on this model is ~32K as opposed to 13K. I thought is was 13K because that's what is displayed on the top left corner of the screen. But this number displays the amount of editable polys, not triangles, making it completely useless...

Heh, should've guessed this would happen.  Who better to go to about Excelsior problems than one of the best modders of that class and her relatives?

I've been beta testing this ship all night. She flies like a dream, Wiley. I can't thank you enough for all the effort and patience you've put into this. I thought porting this model into BC was a pipe dream, but you made it happen. Could someone please give Wiley, limey98, and Adonis cookies on my behalf?

Damn straight. Thanks again, Wiley.  :drink2:

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. And thanks for delivering the cookies, Toa_Kaita. :)

I'm making a few minor tweaks to the mesh and textures, so a release is imminent.

Now if someone could make an NX Excelsior bridge... :D

There should be one already out there. :)

I think he means the one from ST3. The only ones on BCFiles are the Enterprise-B, an FC refit, and the one from ST6.

Wiley has a not-finished st3 bridge!Look it in bridge mod section and I also have a model not finished! I overlapped the Excelsior bridge in bc with my model and seems to be going pretty well but Wiley model is much better :P !The problem for the bridge is not model,but are the script and animation!
