Default TOS Era Cruiser -nameless-



I started on her today. There will be a shuttle pod on top which will also connect to the 2 nacelles. The pod will have 2 forward and 1 aft torpedo launcher.
Below there will be a pod for the deflector dish. If possible a second shuttle bay.

So the pods will be apart from the main body?

Looks like I'll be heading for texturing soon...

The modeling is good, but to make the ship more interesting I think it needs to have something more than just the nacelles in different places. Perhaps you can beef up an engineering section to suggest a reactor in there.

I turned made her an updated version of my starquest class. You can't see it very clearly but there are 2 deflector dishes on the vessel one under each bussard of the nacelle.

It came out very nice. I like the texturing. Now, on to a couple of points.
1. The edges of the spotlight on the top of the saucer should be softened a bit.
2. There appears to only be the glow of the position lights on the top and bottom of the saucer, but no lights themselves. Bulbs and small glows are needed.
3. The 8 seems to be rotated too much. Looks askew when compared to the curvature of the saucer.
Besidses those points, it is an excellent mesh. Great work!

Those mini-deflectors are very cute! An interesting solution to the age-old problem. I probably would have made them symmetrical (ie, both on the support or both on the outside), but that's my conservative side talking. Looks good!
