If i remember right, it was one of the first he released. I think the concept is from the TNG technical handbook.

Just so everyone knows im still modding this awesome game (son, gf and work make it hard to find time lol)

my current forth coming mods are:

Nova concept from TNG:TECH MANUAL with moving nacelles for warp flight - with a look at making the nacelles move to different positions dependent on warp factor. - status: modelling begun

APM from tng :tech manual - status: built in gmax needs updating and texturing

Oblivion Class http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7411.msg204290.html#msg204290 and http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7411.msg199091.html#msg199091

rebuild the silent enemy ship from Enterprise http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7411.msg199602.html#msg199602

Uss Griffin - status: built in process of texturing (this is version 4 I think. still needs to be rebuilt) http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7411.msg200096.html#msg200096

the Uss Mason's http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7411.msg206275.html#msg206275

the Ark from transformers G1 - status: built needs textures http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7411.msg206741.html#msg206741

I remember this one! It's pretty similar to the Insignia class right?

I wouldn't say less quality, I did a double take when I saw it. Very neat job you did there. Look fwd to seeing the rest.

Hobbs,

The shape and engines/configuration of engine and pylons reminds me of the Libertas Class

http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/DJ_Curtis_Libertas;71748



its based on the ship in the tech manual which was the basis for the libertas and the insignia

 here is a direct quote from the TNG: Tech manual

Quote
Still another advanced starship concept would call for variable-geometry warp nacelle pylons permitting optimization of field stress during warp 8+ flight, resulting in significantly improved engine efficiencies. This design study features a saucer composed of wedge-shaped modular segments that could be easily replaced as mission demands change and new technology becomes available. This concept calls for an internal volume approximately 40% less than the present Galaxy class starship, but this design is expected to perform similar mission profiles within normal cruise ranges because of relative ease of spacecraft segment swapout.

and the ship pic is the bottom left one:

This looks to be your finest work, Hobbs. Only thing letting it down is the nacelles. They may be a little too square.

thank you adam

and thank you vortex

im very proud of her and i dont even know how i got her looking so not rubbish lol... i had the saucer done a while ago but the rest kind of happened yesterday and this morning (i think i was in the zone lol)

i'll look at changing the nacelles they were just some i had floating around my max folder lol they are more Ambasador i feel than post-galaxy.

I was thinking the same. Ambassador Nacelles. They aren't as sleek as Galaxy or Post-Nemesis designs. But I happen to like them.
