Tyche Class: U.S.S Tyche

While deciding on wether to work on my incomplete Amazonia class or damage another ambassador class I decided I should combine my two favorite pastimes, Drooling over the Ambassador class and building star ships, This originally was ment as an Ambassador class but due to my lack of skills, and not being able to follow Madkoifish's "Fan-butt" Tutorial I alted it allowing for me to tweek some part, but I'm sure you'll see the majon infulences of ambassador in this wee ship.

Fun Facts:
4 hours of work
Time spent mostly on Nacelles and Neck
Pylons suck to make
Nicknamed "Project Fatcat" as its Hull is rather large, and Cats are cool

Without further ado the very WIP U.S.S Tyche (meaning "luck"):

Better renderings of the neck

Fun Facts:
Actually extruded from the hull multiple times
pain in the (real) neck to get the 'grill' settings right

There is no denying its Ambassador roots. I am gathering it is a smaller ship though, right?

Cool idea, but for the phaser range: only 3 little arrays in this constellation will have a wide place for dead angles... either lengthen them, or put another fourth on it...

::UPDATES::

@Aresius I was acutally working on the phasers when you posted, I decided to have them aligned with the hull 'decoration' but the underside will still have only 3 as to allow for the torpedo launchers

Also made a start on the bridge module, i love the result of this one its one of the best shapes I've managed to make, The AWACs pod seems to compliment the design I feel

Fun Facts:
Added a new WIP background
Added an Excelsior style impulse/bridge set up
Added an Ambassador style bridge module
Experimented with an AWAC pod
Experimented with an additional nacelle

We may have a problem, It seems the ship doesn't want to render no matter the condition, and i just finished adding hull lines and an awesome underside sensor pod, All thats in the scene is the ship and thats it yet the default scanline render doesn't seem to wanna render

Finally sorted out the problem, Turns out max doesn't like lattices with a radius of 0.01 - 0.1

Fun Facts:
Deleted the gridlines, due to rendering issues
Added underside sensor pods
Added underside phaser strips
Adjusted the hull colours
