Well, first thanks to Admiral Ljungberg for his Galaxy Model. It is truly a pleasure to work with.  Also thanks to ex astris scientia, Moonraker, and P81- I borrowed ideas from all of them.   I also borrowed P81's sensor strip and some shuttle bay textures off of his new Galaxy.  I’ve spent a lot of time on two nebula conversions – First, the U.S.S. Phoenix, first seen in TNG with a sensor pod.  Actually, she was also the first  Nebula Class seen in Trek.   – I added a few photon torp launchers to the pod, fore and aft.  I use this ship as my F-CFS.  I spent several hours working on her, modifying the mesh heavily, the textures and the light maps.  Here are some shots…check out the blue glow effect on the underside of the sensor pod…

Next is the U.S.S. Endeavour, with the more common Weapon Pod Refit – Photon Torps a plenty here – she is my F-CFS+.  Both P81 and Moonraker used the same texture for the weapons pod on their earlier nebulas, and I have seen it elsewhere.  I want to give credit to whoever created that texture, because I ripped it off…

I made sure the hardpoints for these babies were dead on.  Use FBB UI.  Spec files included - requires ship edit.  Stats loosely based on info from the Daystrom Institute.

Two final notes – First,  thanks again to the Admiral for his model.  I look forward to seeing more from him, including his Nebula class, which I’m sure will be a better mesh than mine.  Second – I tried to get these close to canon, but I took a few liberties – artistic license…(like the torp launchers in the “sensor pod” -  it just looked cool).  


Enjoy,
