I could not do anything about the reflective light. I did change the color of the light to a grayer scale. If you visit the link *HERE* and look at the base imgages, you'll see the differance. I will more than likely go even darker on the light sources color, and apply it to all finished ships.

Uhm, with that LC, you've gone from 2&1/2 tiles across to 1&1/2 tiles across.

It still has the exact same problem, with the dark, open bit on the texture being cut off by the edge of the cube.
For example:

On the bottom right, that metal bit with the 45-degree angle is not connected to the rest of the ship.

IMO, three repetitions of the dark area along each edge (9 per face) would be best, in order to make the ship appear slightly smaller than the Cruiser (16 per face)

PS: Those bases are much easier on the eyes without so much glare

Well, but after resizing mini. image to 36X36, nobody will ever notice this. Don't worry about such details for mini. pictures.

No, I like older picture better. Resize them to
128X128 and most small details will fade away.
Besides, it is too dark for me.

Atrocities ,
The Baron's comment about the sphere breaking the theme generated an idea in my mind;
A ship set almost parallel to this Borg set but based on spheres. I realize it is easy for me to suggest. I have no idea how hare it would be to accomplish.
As for the breaking of the theme, perhaps you could proffer an alternative frigate that might be a pare of escorts connected or something to that extent.

None the less, I'll take them as is.
Thanks again.

Thank guys.

I am going to ditch the sphere for this set as a main vessel. I think I will make them all fighters with varations on them.

Which of the two do you like the most?
