Making this model for Star Trek: Hidden Frontier (Fan Film-search in google). I'm just finishing off some non textured renders and I'll post 'em ASAP
Information is Power...let me find some

not my concept just my work. Apparently it's anew enemy for the federeation called the archien. The fin has the main warp field nacelle in it will also be a pylon for alot of weapons. This race is a little behind the federation in terms of computing power but has some awesome weapons apparently (I'm waiting for the specs from the tech guys).
It''l be featuring in the next season of Hidden Frontier which should go out in OCtober which gives me a bit of time to properly finish it of to the specs they finally decide on.
Cheers for the input.

That's normal. Do you know StarWreck? They have great effects (better than many TV productions) but their acting sucks... although everybody seems to like Fuckov...

StarWreck's acting isn't bad at all... just not "stellar" - we're too used to big productions to appreciate good amateur films, IMHO.
But, ya... I just downloaded an episode from ST:HF and it's a nice storyline, with markedly poor acting. But it's ok - one does not watch a fanfilm and expect pro-quality. In fact, StarWreck amazed me by its high quality at the time.
Anyway... you seem to be forgetting that they'll be using the model for offline rendering. That means: go crazy with the polycount.

Klauss...I will be mate, I will be. Apparently this race is obssessed by stone- they just about worship it . In that light, I'm changing the armour on the hull so it's looks rock. The idea is that they can harvest asteroids to replace the armour. What I like about her is that the tech guys at HF want it to use older technology- no particle weapons, photon torpedoes etc. Instead she'll be carrying rail guns and fusion(nuclear) torpedoes.
Her armament is almost identical to Atantia which makes life a great deal easier.
Anyone got any suggestions for surface features?
They've just decided that the fin is going to be an aymospheric capable landing vessel so I'll have to start looking at really heavily detailing that up.
Lets have some ideas on surface features...my creative bits are almost at an end.

This is for Star Trek? Not VS? Nice! I really like the close-ups of the textures, but I didn't like the texture of the big X on the front(?) of the ship. But if that's how it looked like. .. Good job.

Stone as armour? Inventive (Or retro. I mean, castles used this in medieval times). On the other side, harvesting asteroids should provide them with enough metal to use as armour...well, probably something religious behind that.
Just like Lot's wife I could never look back

The stone thing is something religious...apparently this lot just about worship stone! It is practical because asteroids can be harvested to replace the armour. The projectiles she fires are also made of rock- high iron ore content, magnetised and then fired from 18 rail gun turrets.

Watch the boxy greebles.
Try beveling, like this:
Also, the impulse assembly is like a current-times ion drive, only orders of magnitude more efficient/powerful/massive (all three ).
In looks, they look like ion drives: an exhaust with a steady glow. Usually red glow.
Sublight engines (impulse) usually looks like a red patch (biggish) pointing backwards that lights when at full impulse, but not always red (aparently)
Lets see... screenshots...
NX class
Galaxy class
Constitution class

Cool, Stone Age is back!
Quite clever to use Magnetite or other iron ores as Ammo for a rail gun.
I wonder if they have some big scaled slingshots on their ships in case of energy loss *g*
