Any inspiration is good inspiration Terra. I actually just found some inspiration for one new Cardassian design, a design currently being modelled by DJ Curtis. It will serve as a cruiser or heavy cruiser as it's too big for anything smaller.

I may even make it into a bigger ship and use it as a Battlecruiser or a Battleship, replace the design that I currently have but haven't modelled or textured yet. :)

But yes, any designs are welcome, they can even be just rough sketch outlines or general shapes, they not required to be polished or finished. :thumbsup:

Nice to see a fresh ship nearing completion man, when planned ship pack's off the production line, would you mind if I do the photoshoot for the release once more? :cool:

No matter what I do, you'll be the first I contact about taking screenshots for me, whether it's a full release, a ship pack, individual ship or anything in between. :thumbsup:

You think the Sonaid was nice on the eyes, just wait to see what I am planning to cook up next. :D

Figures. All the really cool ships are released after I've lost interest in A2 and no longer have it mounted. Still, this series of ships is very nice and I can only imagine what a squad of these, mounting Terra_Inc's new Cardie weapons and using my movement physics, would look like on screen. Well done, Maj. Well done indeed

Thank you Thunderfoot.

Now I have started to look at finishing up the stations, I don't have many left actually and I am sure everyone will recognise the following station:

DS901.jpg DS902.jpg DS903.jpg

I originally wasn't going to do Deep Space Nine aka Terok Nor, however I thought it might make a nice map unit or campaign unit for anyone whom decides to use it in there mod. Obviously it isn't an exact copy, due to the textures nor is it meant to be. I am poly reducing it as I go and currently it stands at just under 4000 poly's. Normally I would even have a 4k poly model in the game, but considering it will be a one off model, only one on screen at a time, two or three at most depending on the situation I thought I could ignore the high poly count for the model.

After DS9 is complete I only have the ship yards to do and then all the stations are complete. :D

Yeah, it's not an exact copy. It's even better than the original. Looks more dangerous. More like the space fortress it should be. Awesome work! :thumbsup:

Hello:
The mesh look very good, and I look forward to see your progress with the texture mapping, as I also know that can be tricky... but still very fun to do:).
Keep it up!

Thank you all.

Since I posted the images I have completed work on all the docking ports and the bridge/Ops and that part of the model. I have now started on the docking ring and plan to go back and do some changes to the central core edge. Mainly adding windows around the edge as most of the texturing came from one of the research stations.

I am also considering having Terok Nor as a single buildable unit in where the station itself can build Dominion ships for the Cardassians as a sort of special station. Being a Dominion fan I really couldn't resist. :lol:
