Description of the 3d File
---------------------------

This zip contains both 3ds and Max4 files. The Max4 file renders the bumpmaps and shininess maps correctly, so if you have a choice... render the Max file!
The bump maps of the 3ds file have to be set to 30% after loading. I don't know why... =(

If you make any renders of this ship, please include the statement 'Ship design & model by 'Cleeve' (www.STARYARDS.com) somewhere on the pic. Thanks!

Here's a short conjectural background of the ship:

The Eximius Class:
Well, here is a design I came up with that was inspired by several ships: The Promethius, Voyager, Steamrunner, voyager, and Sovreign classes. She also has elements from her inspiration... the Excellentia Class, another Starfleet battlecruiser design of my own that is set in the movie era.

I tried to picture the future of Starfleet, post Enterprise-E... to get a direction where it's going. I'm pleased with the result.  =)

The conjectural design history:

This ship has but one , and that's laying smack down. She's a Battlecruiser through and through.

The design is a post dominion war/Borg encounter battlecruiser that incorporates advanced weapons systems to fight those threats, including the defiant's own beloved pulse phasers!

The tubes on this ship can fire both quantums and standard photorps. There are 4 in the front, and 2 in the rear (the rear torp bays are attached to the nacelles)
The pulse phasers are right beside the forward firing torp bays. Regular phaser arrays are all about the ship in the regular places. =)
