You raised some valid points and I'd been wondering if I'd made the panels too small anyway. So, I redid the specular and color maps for the whole ship to make the panels larger so you can see them better. The biggest change is in the saucer. The azteccing now matches with the "spoke" grid lines. It doesn't match with the radial lines and won't ever because that's a big pain in my ass to do because of the way I do my textures. But I don't think the paneling necessarily always matches the radial lines on Trek ships anyway.
