You know, back in 2006 when I first started producing Specter, I briefly toyed around with the idea of a Sovereign-class USS F. Scott Fitzgerald. That idea was ultimately abandoned because at the time, there wasn't enough reference material available for the interior sets, and there weren't any good Sovereign-class meshes out there. The more I work with this mesh, the more convinced I get that if I'd had access to it six years ago, any amount of effort would've been worth it to have this be the hero ship--the level of detail might be driving me crazy now while I'm fixing the textures, but in the end it would've been well worth it.

You made great improvements over a masterpiece Chainsaw. She looks in great shape, but... Excuse me to be a pain, but the lettering over the saucer has colors inverted (the red and the black).

[T]he lettering over the saucer has colors inverted (the red and the black).

It got fixed on import into Bryce. I'm almost done with retexturing it, it's continuing to look fantastic and I'm really wishing I could work it into more than just the epilogue. Both Chainsaw and Paul did amazing jobs with this beauty!

^ If you can get that thing up to broadcast quality it would make a perfect addition to the epilogue. Right now I'm using a modified version of my 1701-B bridge all the way from the beginning of
Specter:
It's good but no substitute for an actual Sovereign-class bridge.
Meanwhile here's a glimpse of your work in action:

Uau!
Ronald and Brandon, you´re doing a work that deserves 100 stars!
Brandon, looking at those Ent-E renderings, I can almost "see" the interiors behind the windows all around the hull. If it was done just with textures, it is one of the best illusions that I ever seen!!
As a side note... Brandon, I know, I know... you already said that you don´t have the subtitles done nor planned, but I would love to have timed srt files available and do a translation to portuguese. Your trilogy is much superior than a lot of Hollywood movies that I watched in recent times. 8)
