Looking great. I like the back details so far.

Superbly well realised idea. I really like the idea of a ship this size, too. I hope you put it up for sale!

Very unique design. And its not often that people go to all the effort to do interiors. Excellent job on all of it.

Very nice work as usual, BorgMan. Not only on the ship but on the story as well, you had me captivated. The separate bridge unit and the slipstream only working with it docked is a really neat idea. I can't wait to see more.

Oh what wonderful terms we find in here. That sounds like fun. There is actually one website that has thousands, and I mean thousands of posts ... and I just love going back to "in the beginning" and finding all the posts that have "0" replies, just to bump 'em. Hmmm ... hehehe ... oh well not tonight.

Then in the twilight of reality there are some who ponder "how much bandwidth can this website handle". With enough people to REALLY slow down a MAJOR website, thou asketh for 5 posts per ... well, let's see ... number I saw over there, something like 75,000 ... okay 75,000 times 5 posts [good luck though, they don't all post in the other one either] ... but 75,000 times 5 = about 375,000 posts. Plus a few pics of course. Plus then they'd be downloading all whatever. Then there may be a few more questions, like where is the .obj or tS or ??? for the bridge?!! [It's okay, I'll go make my own]

Having uploaded a few ST items here and there ... there's a big difference between success in sharing with obstacles and without. If the purpose is to limit downloads to as few people as possible, well congrats. If the purpose is to share your lovely work with as many ST fans as possible, well ... and those that would converse would still converse. Esp if they've been up half the night drinking coffee.

Okay, what piece of vital info am I missing here?

What the frack was that?

I don't know what prompted that bunch of babbling BS but here's the deal. Dredging up a WIP thread that hasn't been posted in for 5 years to make an "Ooh pretty" comment just to have 5 posts on the forum is stupid. It has nothing to do with bandwidth but with the fact that doing so needlessly bumps a dead thread. There's absolutely no point in it. Odds are that the person running said WIP thread has either finished or abandoned the project and moved on with their life. And, if you think this is the only forum on which this kind of behavior is frowned upon, guess again. Most of the 3D art forums I've been on don't like it.

Dragging up and old and abandoned project in "On The Horizon" forum which are WIP threads is frowned on, and is very annoying if the Thread is over a year old since the original poster added to their own work .

So EG180 is quite right.

from my point of view, only in "Beyond Reality" (finished art) and "Discussion and Support" (ie Help Zone and General Discussions) areas can you open a old thread if its relevant to a particular need or request for the poster.
