Well, here's what I've got so far on my new GXCA. And just as a note, I will make a "Phase II" hybrid for all the major hull classes included in EAW (including the freighters and PF's.) I just found my calling, and, weather permitting, perhaps a few of these may find themselves into GAW (that is, if they need them.)

Well, here it is, All I need to so is decide on how to arrange the engines and how many to use. I've reached these options...

SFC Layout (Variant I): 4 engines, two port/starboard, two arranged on top of the CA catamarans
SFB Layout (Variant II): 2 engines, 2 dorsal/ventral
(Variant III): 2 engines port/starboard
(Variant IV): 3 engines, 2 port/starboard, 1 dorsal
(Variant V): 4 engines, 2 port/starboard, 2 dorsal/ventral

And here's what I've got so far. The center section has been modified from the SFC version to accomodate PF/shuttlebays. The front catamarans aren't asymmetrical because I can't figure out how to do it, and maybe that was a new feature on the TMP GCA...maybe.

Now how did this end up all the way back here...

Alright, I've gotten down to two possible nacelle versions: the SFB vertical arrangement or the SFC four engined version. You can decide. After this, I'm probably gonna add the weapons stuff after this, though there may be a few minor alterations to the engines themselves.

Here's the SFB Arrangement:

The SFC Arrangement:

Opinions?

ANYTHING?

Personally, mariner, I like them. I also like, with this ship, a simple pair of nacales mounted off to the port and starbord sides. The 4-nacale version looks a little overdone

Don't let the lack of responces get you down...

I think the designs are sound as far as gorn go but a few suggestions. try to match the large square extrusions at the back with the sphere so they blend in more neatly unless this is a feature of gorn ships. also using a cylinder instead of a sphere would lower the polycount and make it easier to texture.

Now these i like, they really do have a look of both SFB and TMP-onwards on them. Very impressive

I'm beginning to download Desty's Gorn models, so I can get a better idea of how the details are done. Hopefully, he'll offer to retexture this model too, and maybe the rest of the fleet.

Desty, if your watching, how's the DX?

This bitch is finally done!!!

YEEHAAA! PARADE!!!!!

And she's fully loaded too.

I think she's more of a BCH in terms of firepower, or aren't 4 plasma turrets and 11 phaser-1's enough?
