Here is the Peregrine Class Patrol Cruiser, not the Peregrine Class Federation Fighter of the same name. It has a design that is a bold step in starship design for Starfleet's standards (similiar to the Romulan Draconarius Class, maybe S31 are involved). This unique ship has potential but the model is a bit choppy and blocky (which really isn't the main drawback). The textures are a bit inconsistent and are very wishy-washy. The textures do not complement the model (the main drawback imho), for example I would like to see more darker carbon-like textures to suit the shape and design of the vessel. Also the textures seem to have different specular lighting which detracts from the textures even more.

As for the vessel's concept. It's unique Romulan appearance, which is by design, does seem to fit it's bill as a Neutral-Zone patrol cruiser - for instance, if the Romulans would come across this vessel it would throw them off for a while (provided this vessel had a way of masking it's Federation signature)

It definitely needs more work to be honest

Hello:

Then that is awesome, new ships with the same philosophy is always a good step to have new strategies to play with.

Keep it up!

#1... It's just a suggestion but darker textures would suit this better. It's not all that bad but the textures really let it down.. Keep working at it and you'll get it right :-)

Do I see a SFC3 Freighter in the Middle? Interesting design.

I don't know; calling it the Peregrine class when there's already a ship known as the Peregrine in Starfleet as we know it --regardless of whether that's the official name for it-- seems like a lack of originality. Add to that the fact that this ship is clearly a takeoff on the Draconarius concept of vessel (with extra warp nacelles oddly placed instead of weapons pods on the wings) and the need for a re-texturing, and this strikes me as the sort of project that might be best aided before release by doing a "what do you think?" post in the A2 forums first.


Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it, HMS_Frontier. Resources are available. The design is certainly an interesting one, and it'll be stellar in its final form.

This is a neat little ship. As many here have said retexture her and she will be sexy.
