Title: U.S.S. Sovereign Updated - The Integrity's sister gets a facelift
Post by: WickedZombie45 on July 30, 2003, 11:52:43 pm: I wasn't going to bother with this one until I took a look at the first Sovereign class I released a while back, and after cringing in disgust, whipped this replacement up for her.

She's posted at DRS with all the usual bells and whistles.

It had the right feel to it for a prototype and the smoother features I thought added to it. I do like the blue you added under the engines wish your Integrity model had that instead, think it looks more like an advanced feature then less advanaced one. This is a great looking model and I will probably change the textures slightly for myself and just use it as the Enterprise I should have the names and registries laying arond.

Again thabks for the model!

Heh, glad someone liked the older Sovereign, I personally think it looked cheap and 'flat' and un-detailed.

Post by: Captain Ron on July 31, 2003, 11:37:13 pm: That flat look actually was what gave it its' charm. It did not have anything that looked unneeded stuck to it and was made a little for stealth and close work to an atmosphere. The clours were interesting on it and that was a feature I did like alot.

It needed a little work texture work to make me happy but it was easily done, I remved the middle engine and made the colours match the upper hull area above it and changed the deflector colour to a dark blue with light grey for the yellow lines the lighter the yellow the lighter the grey I used. I would have changed the engines colour but I like that blue I might try to use the Integritys' engines on it see how that looks, but I am not that good at kit bashing. I will probably also change the colour of the escape hatch covers to a dark grey or to the beige you used on this one. I think with the darker colours and its roundness it might start to look as a stealth recon/attack ship.

I also changed your Klingon W'ked Class, I made it grey with black lettering and logos in Black and red. It was my first successful texture work I did (that simple means I like how it came out)

This guy I changed a little too. I took the center red engine and turned it black with grey lines. Even in a prototype a shuttle bay will still be a shuttle bay, but the less light it produces the better. Still playing with it though so I don't know what I will keep.
