Damn it WZ45!
You weren't supposed to show off the studio model yet!
Now I have to go back and take care of all those legal entanglements you've created... Jeez!
Well, at least you haven't shown off the latest Romulan and Klingon you are in possession of!

yes he quite did, and I wasnt whining, I was just asking if my eyes were seeing it wrong
...though i still would like to see more detail on the rest of this ship
-as in by having additionaldetails of texture, i tihnk there are some tidbits you might want to add

I included as many details as possible that are on the Big-E, the only notable exception is that my details aren't 100% accurate. I'm not one for doing full-canon ships for various reasons, i.e., lack of references, lack of time, and lack of (in)sanity so the closest I bother with are refits and variants.
Just for the sake of argument though:
Like I said, the detailing is subtle and, like on the Enterprise, requires just the right lighting to be noticeable. Rip off the lights, escape pods, and modeled phaser strips (yes, I was crazy enough to actually model those), and the saucer is as barren as the rest of the hull. Then again, I do have different opinions regarding how a ship should look, being a certifiable perfectionist and all. Of course, I don't have any objections to someone altering this beaut, just as long as they follow the guidelines on DRS, so if someone wants to slap a dozen escape pods and fifty photon tubes on 'er, feel free.

its detailed well enough, so to say

We know whining when we see it
And only 50 photon tubes? What about cloak, or phase cloak? What about quantum slipstream torpedoes or temporal hemmoroidal ones? Shouldn't it be at least as powerful as the Defiant? What do you mean the Defiant shouldn't exist? It wouldn't be able to generate the power to ...... I guess I digress....

Okay. Nice, very nice. Can I ask what size textures you're using? I thought that this computer would be good to go against newer models, but the saucer textures from your Sovereign demonstrated otherwise.
I guess what I'm getting around to is asking for 512x512s for the saucer if they're larger than that. I made an effort to buy an appropriate art program, only to be informed that it's unwise use of my money (translation: the folks said no)...
One more year, and I'll be free to blow my wealth on booze and girls...
...or maybe not.
