I like it. and the texture is approximately 234.56 times better than all [V] stock tiling textures. In fact, it looks almost exactly like the standard tile texture I use...:nervous:

see, this is what happens when modelers don't learn how to make  textures. :P

Oh well, I'm not complaining, except about some banding I just spoted on the bridge.

DAMNIT DARREN! GET THIS THING FIXED. Oh, wait, wrong forum. :)

Very, very nice!

Only crit, the engines textures are a little plain. Maybe add a little more than just the blue bars...? I dunno. But great work!

I like! :):yes: Has it got a fighterbay, or is it a pure weapons platform? Would be cool to launch fighters from where those red bits are.....

I like the shape. Looks real heavy and sturdy. Is that a custom texture for the bridge windows ? My pet project has an almost identical flying bridge like that but I'm reduced to using the "lights" tile. Can I have ? Pretty Please ? :D

Mag...considering the amount of money I'm paying to have these ships created, and the copyright aspect of it, I'm just not going to allow them to be used outside of the EOTP universe. :)

Especially not since that ship there is one of the main ones in the Pilot I'm working on it.

Sorry man.

On textures btw, that's just a unwrapped texture.

And to answer the question about fighters, nope, that's a Destroyer (DD), no fighters.

There's a carrier about its size though, that carries 40. That'll be in the mod, along with some other carriers including one that houses 300 fighters and is half a mile long. :)

I was actually asking for that specific texture (not the whole ship) but that's fair enough. Are you actually paying for 'em ? That's some real dedication if you are.:yes:

The bridge window texture is basicly just a color on the unwrapped map....soz its a map of the entire ship.

And yeah...check out the eotp website dude ;) www.cambium.com/eotp

These ships are being used for this game mod sure, but they're a part of a universe I've created that I'm trying to launch a TV pilot for.

Hey, I just read the description of the Ajax on the website. You really think BAe is gonna last another century or two ?:p

Good looking ship, good solid military look. Better than a lot of the space going abstract art sculpture being passed off as starships in most sci-fi.

Nice concept - getting any two religous groups to work together on anything and still have a plausible story line will certainly be different. Best of luck. Looks like a worthwhile concept to watch.

PS: It's D-R-E-A-D-N-O-U-G-H-T, after the HMS Dreadnought from 1906,  not dreadnaught. Might want to correct that on your site. Minor, but annoying for nitpickers :nod:  but otherwise pretty good execution.
