TRUST me, it wasn't a Galaxy class.  Differences are visible in:

Size, saucer shape (elispse ting on Galaxy, circle on Ambassador), phaser banks on saucer (single strip each for dorsal and ventral on Galaxy, 5 small on dorsal and 3 on ventral for Ambassador), 2ndary hull size and shape (much smaller compared to saucer section and is realy squished on Galaxy, only somewhat smaller compared to saucer and circular cross-section {not squished} on Ambassador), warp nacelles and pylons (nacelles flatter and placed noticably below the saucer with short, curved pylons on Galaxy, nacelles fatter with darker ribbed pattern on upper surfaces and only slightly below the saucer on taller {proportionally} pylons with a sharp corner on Ambassador.

Incredibly enough, no. Not a whole episode anyway. The only knowledge I have comes from playing through TBP a few times. Maybe if I'd seen the first ep I'd think differently, but it seems pretty big and difficult to just jump in to.

Well, to explain Setekh's reference, Babylon 5 is the 5th station because 1-3 were sabbotaged and destroyed and 4 vanished without a trace 24 hours after going online.  Late in 2258, it reappeared having appearantly travelled through time.  With indications that it would jump again soon, its crew were evacuated, and then the station disappeared again.  It was later revealed that most of the B5 cast travelled back in time from 2260 to prevent its destruction by enemy forces, capture it, and take it 1000 years into the past to act as a critical staging area during a war to stop the "Shadows" from tearing up the galaxy... thought the Shadows' motives are more complicated than that.  I hope that at least explains the reference, and possibly peaked your interest in the series.

Later!

I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

No, it went to the past to save the future.

Well, if you want to get technical, it did both. :p

You spelled my name wrong :p

Anyway, if someone can tell me how to convert my model files properly, I'll be able to finish up the Herc II. Until then, it's no dice.

You can update the first post since the Faustus and Aten have now been released.  Also, a Beta of the Aeolus is available, and VA says that its pretty much done, but he's waiting until his other HTL projects are complete so to do a unified release.  He also says that the Triton is nearly finished.  I believe his primary HTL efforts now are in the Lucifer.

...Looks identical...

No offence, Raa, but all of your HTL ships have no real visible difference between them and the old ones...

Don't take it personally, I'm just in a very blunt mood right now :p

That's actually the idea.  They are high-poly, so their curves are smoother.  You don't want to necessarily add a lot of detail that isn't supposed to be there.
