Ok, new renders available.  I've built the bridge, and in the renders you can see the tractor beams on either side of each shuttlebay, as well as the redesigned ventral saucer phasers.

I'm liking the way this thing is shaping out!

TOO MUCH WIN, IM GONNA EXPLODE!!! XD 

[Dawg81]

I like the bridge design looks like she has some armor around that area will u be modeling in a main tractor beam emitter?

[Aeries]

Good stuff. :]

[ECGadget]

This is looking great! Can't wait to see it in action!

[Centurus]

Sorry there hasn't been any updates concerning this ship.  I've been dealing with a few personal issues lately, and also this is the first week of the fall semester, and I think I'm gonna sign up for 2 additional classes, so I don't know how much time I'm gonna have.  I'll see what I can do.

[Dawg81]

no need to say you're sorry around here cent. All of us know RL comes first in fact Baz is trying to finish up a few ships before he becomes a proud father the ultimate RL. But dont overdo it on taking so many classes otherwise u burn yourself out

[ECGadget]

Yeah man, look after yourself, I'll cya on msn every now and then!

[Centurus]

Me again.  Got into the mood, and did some more work on the ship over the last couple of days or so.  Before you guys get your hopes up, I haven't done that much.

Anyway, in the images below, you can see that I've gotten around to making the main deflector pod.  I know it's plain looking, but I kinda like it, and to a degree, it's keeping in line with how I made the mini deflectors.  The aft I couldn't think much to do with, so I gave it some segments and tapered it down.  Maybe when and IF textures are done for this ship, maybe the ship's name and registry or maybe just the registry, or maybe the Starfleet Insignia can go there.  Don't know.

Also, as you can see, I made that ventral dome/hatch, whatever it is.  The ship felt naked without it.

I quite like the pod!  Although I see the direction it is going (nacelle parts connecting over with pylons), and I would suggest a newer approach.  Perhaps a pylon coming up from the center of the ship . . .

[Centurus]

Na.  I'm gonna stick with the traditional rollbar.  However, I still need to figure out how to make the weapons pods the way I want them.  It's gonna be tricky.

[Dawg81]

question is HOW do u want them, have any design ideas?

[Starforce2]

With everything else he's sticking on that thing I wouldn't be surprised if I'll be able to count the hull bolts and the rubber chickens in it's Captians quarters    Good work dude! You've defenetly improved on modeling since I last saw a wip of yours last spring, I think it's safe to say you don't suck any more  :angel

[Centurus]

I wonder if I should report that last post or not....honestly, thinking about it.

Anyway, I've been meaning to do some work on this ship for a while, but I haven't really had much of a chance.  I'm still stuck on the weapons pods.  I can't think of anything that I really like, and because of that, I might just go ahead and make New Orleans type weapons pods.  Honestly, haven't decided.

Once the weapons pods are done, the rest is minor stuff that I can knock out in a couple hours, and then she'll be finished, modelwise anyway.

[Starforce2]

Are you thinking of only a deflector? Or weapons in the pod too?

[Centurus]

The old mega phasers are going to be replaced with twin weapons pods, housing micro torpedo launchers and pulse phasers.

[Starforce2]

So I assume the current "deflector pod" in your wip is out?

[FarShot]

I think Cent means that the center pod, which was the torpedo pod in the Reliant, will house a deflector, and the side pods, which were phaser emitters in the Reliant, will be torpedo/pulse phaser pods.
