Have a look at the color scheme on the Enterprise G.  That might work well here.

I don't know, I think the G's color scheme got lost with the size.  At a distance the G's color just blended into a gray really easily in my opinion.

That's the Eclipse class one, right?  Been looking at that, and yep, I like the really subtle gray/blue/green pattern on that one.

I need to learn how to make textures like you do though, I tend to take way too much time when I start making aztec patterns.

Wow I love how this thing Is coming along CG, I am curious as to how big It will be though compared to the Sovereign, although I would assume It would be around the same length considering the size of the saucer Is roughly identical. Those nacelles make this ship really stand out, as for the textures I believe that this would look great with a Sovereign inspired scheme. I can already picture where the saucers hull plating, escape pods, and windows would be placed. Will there be a Sovereign yacht on this one, or a variant that's longer? I also prefer the unified deflector array, for some reason the split one looks cluttered to me but of course that Is my own opinion. I can't wait to see how this ship In Its entirety will look once completed.
Have a look at my website MeteorCreations

Damn! Why didn't I think of it before? The Voyager-B! It looks like it could be.

huh wasn't this thread longer??? anyway cause I thought I replied about the recent pics.

this ship CG is pure awesome! The Duel deflector is perfect as I thought.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Quick update, I just finished rebuilding the Sov's pylons.  I finally realized how misshapen the old ones were in a couple ways.. really weird thickness in some spots, badly blended, etc.  Mostly, I couldn't get the old vents to line up with the schematics, so I just deleted the interiors, and rebuilt them using the existing edges.  Much better looking too. :)

Holy fictional deity almighty not creator of non-existent heaven & earth...
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

This is nothing less than incredible, and therefore deserving a cookie.

I've been itching for an update to the Sovereign for a long time now, if this one is released I'm sure it'll deliver. Awesome work. Would you mind if I asked what the poly count is as it stands right now?

Polys right now are up to very close to 28k.  My current plan is to finish this version and keep it at this level, then take the old 13k 1.0 model and rework it to match this one, staying around 10-12k.  I'll have to rework it significantly to match, but it'll be without all the extra surface details and rounded edges, so it'll cut a ton off the polycount.
