Title: ATOLMs' MERCURY- very early wip
Post by: James Formo on February 19, 2003, 12:34:58 am

Couldn't resist posting a very early wip. Spent 4 hours mapping out stuff and early positioning. I  like Atolms' design. This is also Atolms mesh .  

The lines are there to help position stuff. Some may stay and get thinned up. OK I'll try not to post a pick every time I add a window

Interesting design.  I am interested in seeing how this one finally comes out!  Makes you wonder what spaceship goodies might've appeared if TNG had continued for more seasons.

Here is a different view. I need to get opinion out what registry number this should have. Kinda looking late TNG. I want to give it a realistic number. Atolm, got any suggestions?

Yea I keep rotaing pics hehe.  I am doing something else with the warp struts. The checkers do'nt work there.  Couple more days and you can start giving critics if you like.  Still toying with a few things yet.

 I think that bop is trying to stay out of the Mercury's weapons arc. To no avail.

It looks so massive. I would probably use it as a 24th century monitor. Post that thing on guard around a planet or base

James...how s about NCC-82471

82471 it is. Well these 2 pics show close to how it will be. Sometimes I get annoyed when people nitpic at my wip because some people post a wip that is already fininished. I post mine real early and change a lot.  So now I say start nitpicking cause I am almost done.

To do list:

Detail shuttle bay,
Detail torp tubes-not sure how, never paid much attention to what they look like- someone give me a clue  
More windows on hull  hmm not sure
lighting
NCC #

I think thats about it. Hope to ship it back to Atolm Monday or Tuesday.

She's sweet man!!!!
The impulse engines are those 2  weird structures(one that is connected to the bottom rear of the sphere...lookes like an eye....and another on the structure of the bottom rear ...under the shuttle bay..."kinda"...looks like a tube)
just so you know if you wanted to tex them....
Also i love that texture on the sphere that connects to the "neck" of the ship...looks like the sovy...can you add that to the secondary hull on the extensions that are located on the sides...???
just asking :P
Great work man...and Thanks!!!

get rid of the blue stuff where the pylons meet the hull...looks like the glow parts of the nacelles and just doesn't look right.

Thanks I already did. Its been sent back to Atolm. I don't have a pic as it looked finished. The only changes were I got rid of the blue where you desribed. Had to figure out just where it ended in my map .  I added phaser strips to the struts and a few markings. Atolm may add some stuff.
