this is my first serious attempt at a texture alteration in a very long time, but it is my take at a Federation conversion of a Jem'Hedar attack frigate/fighter, using Smiley's excellent jem'hedar model ;D I couldn't find a decent federation emblem (and I didn't want to use one with words due to the mirror effect), so I picked this eagle one. I also was unable to add a good registry due to the mirror effect, and lastly, I was unable to add spotlights due to my lack of knowledge anyways, would need Smiley's permission if it were to be released, but here is some pics. enjoy    |

Well!
I would suggest that you go around the windows, they don't look right at the moment because of the re-colouring that you've done to the textures.
Also I think that you should either alter the colours of the eagle logo that you have put on, or do some kid of weathering effect.
Sorry that I mirrored the mapping, this model was originally meant for A2, but I didn't want crappy textures!
One little niggle that I have with the eagle is that it makes it look more like a pirate vessel than a Federation vessel.
What's the background on this one then?

haven't quite thought of the background on the vessel.
as far as the mirror'ed effect, it still an awesome ship, and I doubt that regies were ever one's thought for this ship.
could you be a little more specific as far as the windows and the eagle colour? maybe i'll change it to an actual pirate vessel, as that would likely be more appropriate anyways.

Sure, I just think that maybe you should go around the edges of the circular windows with a darker colour, a circle off to one side slightly to emphasise the fact that the windows are oh so slightly inset.
As for the Eagle, just weather it, make it look older and stuff!

ok, I shall try, I'm also gonna try to lighten up the res of the ship, and I find some parts to seem a little to dark.
tnx for the advice.

the textures of the bugship itself look horrid, but the bird logos are well placed and an excelent touch. I've long said ships should have ww2 style logos. Almost every major world power does nose art and I'd find it ahrd to believe such tradition would be thrown out in a few hundred years, esp with the federations emphsis on starships that look artistic and are meant to be seen.
