Hey zeich, if you don't mind could we use that interceptor design in our mod? it looks soooooooooo cool....

Thanks.  Yeah, you can use the design. There are probably be some slight changes to the design when I make the low polygon version.

Neon has asked if he could get a SOD or max file of what you've done so far on the new interceptor, could you possibly email that to him if you don't mind?

I like those details.... I can only imagine them textured.

Though I saw about the new Excelsior II lookin... may I request Sovy nacelles on it?

And also maybe you could think of building this maybe? Just a wee little idea that may look nice....

After all, it looks like a nice ship with a taste of the 25th century....

Poseidon class for the win! That may be the most beautiful ship to date seriously!

Bah... the Galaxy beats it hands down. Weird look though, that's always a bonus.

I'd like to see you try to come up with a ship that looks like it was made for the 25th century.... the Poseidean Class can actually be a pretty good looking replacement of the Nebula Class. After all, it shares its relative aspect. Its got a little something that says "I have a lot of things hidden under these bulkheads, mess with me and you get it." I dunno, am I the only one other than Proton that likes it?

I never said it was bad... even though it looks like something you'd see in Star Trek Online.

I don't see the fascination with 'a new look for a new century', anyway.

The file is just a maya file right now, and I'd prefer to keep the 3D file with myself.  But I can render some orthographic views if you want.  What is the email you want me to send them to?

Fleet Operations takes place at the beginning of the 25th century, but we favor to continue the "TNG style" for ships, instead of pushing into a new style, like Star Trek Online does. I think the FO style of vessels is much closer to TNG then to STO.

Umm, just a little bit weird, and I dunno, but it looks like you just grafted three Galaxies together, and added some new parts. Other than that, it looks way to big, it'd be as big as adreadnought, and usually
feds seem to keep their ship in acertain range, otherwise its warp phyisics would be messed up. I mean generally, you want your warp nacelles to be as far awaway from the center of the ship as possible, to increas warp efficiancy. Many miss spells contained here their are.

In this case it would be Neons, or... hang on... Darn, i know i had his email somewhere. Oh well ill ask him to PM you or something with the email.

I'm really thinking that your best option would be to give the k'vort a more gray, armored look. Perhaps even with a reddish tint?

I think one of the main things to distinguish the B'Rel and K'vort will be size; in Yesterday's Enterprise the K'vort's were much larger than normal birds of prey.  From what I remember they also had a really light coloration?  But it was rather ugly and it was in an alternate timeline, so you could probably disregard that.
