[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] Wow... good question all. Let's see... 1) It's spelled "Aegian" in every reference I've seen, though I agree that it's probably a mistake. 2) What you see at the link I posted is a Photoshop composite of several individual drawings I did. I used Photoshop to get the design right before laying down the final drawing. I looked on the internet and found as many reference photos of the ship as I could and printed them out. I chose one to use as the main picture, projected it onto the drawing paper, and traced off a rough outline of the ship. The perspective was pretty close already, but I added a VP to keep everything fairly straight. You can see several inaccuracies in the perspective.. but it's all in the ballpark. 3) I then went in a cleaned up the detail, changing quite a few things to make the low res mesh a more interesting and detailed ship. I did the same thing with the forward view. The escape pod (slightly modified) came out of the Encyclopedia. I found a side view of the shuttle on line. And for Commander Patrick, I started with a stunning photo of Catherine Bell from "J.A.G." and altered the details quite a bit. I loves a woman in uniform. 4) The rank insignia: The CO of this ship is a Lt. Commander in rank (I figure this ship is a science / cargo / support vessel of some kind. Therefore, I assume that the officers under her (in a command sense) are Lt's and lower. I'm also assuming that there are alot of enlisted personnel on her crew. So I just showed the rank insignia for Lt., Lt. J.G., Ensign, and Chief Petty officer. The rectangle next to them will eventually be a front view of a Bolian in uniform... the chief engineer. 5) Is that all... ah...the bridge. I started with the Ent D's bridge and made it smaller. This entailed making the doors bigger and doing other things with the alcove for the aux turbo lift and Picrad's ready room entrance. I made it a "Cargo / Shuttle Ops" station. I then stuck the ready room off on the other side. Only one turbo lift for them... but I did give them an emergency egress hatch across the isle from the door to the observation lounge.. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
