Description
They were given a new mission: to seek out new worlds for Earth to colonize. They knew the area would be filled with Tholians and Gorn. They thought Tholians have ships not much bigger than ten metres. Now they witness the Tholian Superdreadnought.Polaris and Tholian Superdreadnought by me

Captain Me: As big as my ego is and as confidant as I am in my combat knowhow and how ready the ship is, there are times when starting a fight is just sheer suicide and I'll be giving my life in vain. THIS is one of those times. At the first instance they hint at hostility, we're outta here, pushing our engines beyond their limits if necessary.
Did I do a good job of coming up with words for yourself as captain to say? x3

Well, Captain Metlesits would say something like this: We had our rounds with the Tholians. We know what they are capable of. This is a ship we don't know and I have to admit, I don't like the idea of putting up a fight with it. If they attack, let's hope we can bring them down with us. Vasya, yellow alert. Mr. JimΓ©nez, bring us at a parallel course, on the edge of their weapons' range. Let's see what they'll do.

Is the Tholian ship in front or behind the Polaris. I think its in the foreground, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's almost in the same distance as the Polaris, a bit in the background.

Nice work, really like the texture on the the tholian ship

Thank you. I used Genetica to render the texture and touched it a bit up in PS.

Hopefully the Tolians aren't looking for a fight...

Hopefully not. This big ship can kick the Polaris' ass!

Be that as it may, the Polaris would give the Tholian SD one hell of a fight before she died, and, assuming the Tholians keep an eye on Galactic events, the Tholians know it.

Grab your sword, Sulu!

Heh. Spock only had to deal with a couple of Runabout-sized Tholians. This thing looks like it comes with the full service package...

One good thing in it: it's incapable of web spinning.

But seeing as nobody really knows anything about the Tholians, what tricks does it have to use against Polaris...?
π: 0 β©: 1
Overwhelming brute strength. Weapons Starfleet and the First Fleet know nothing of. And numbers, amassing a fleet of these ships in no time. This is Tholian Country!

Just stay well clear of any derelict ships that are all transparent and glowing a strange colour!

Ain't it wonderful when two sides get to meet and greet over a few phaser banks?

This Tholian ship can rip the Polaris apart any day without as much as flexing itself too much. Captain Metlesits has to bee cautious when dealing with the crystallines from now...

Okay so they'll meet and greet over a cup of tea. Spoil my fun why dontcha?

I can see that:
Metlesits: Have you seen the great Caparetto singing Lohengrin in the Opera, my friend?
Tholian: Tut-tut, my splendid chap, the opera is for the plebes.

Oh shit indeed!

Very well done, as always. I'll bet this is one of those moments when they wish there were a couple of Kzinti aboard.

The Tholians are more dangerous because they are so mysterious. Nobody knows who or what they actually are, what is their spaceflight and weapons capability, so yeah, when you'd expect a small webspinner and you get a ship nearly as big as yours... even Captain Metlesits wants the Cats back...
π: 0 β©: 0
Now the Polaris won't take any crap from those crazy old Tholians will she?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hopefully not, but this just isn't the small webspinner ship anymore...

The new "main alien enemy" of the Polaris: the Tholians. Quite interesting, given that I wanted them to be the bad guys for the TOS Polaris, as you can even see it on my first Polaris pic.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea. Te main enemy for my Renegade:
Tos-TMP: Machina
Lost Era-TNG: Mirror Universe
Post-TNG: Yvar, Machina, and Mirror Universe
π: 0 β©: 1
As for the Polaris:
ENT era: Romulans
TOS era: Kzinti, Section 31
TMP era: Kzinti, Section 31, Tholians
Lost era: probably the Tholians
TNG era: Trelane, Mankind's Bane (a group of Borgs ruled by Trelane, responsible for the Supercube crisis)
Post-TNG era: Starfleet/The Federation (during the Civil War)

It seems my crew ends up dealing with all the universe ending species.

The Polaris deals with the most dangerous of them all: evil Humans.

True. Hey when you do meshes, do you do Edit Poly or Edit Mesh? I want to know if there was difference between them.
π: 0 β©: 1
Edit Mesh in most cases, it's easier for the rendering system but is harder to Smooth and results in more polies. I used Edit Poly with the El-ahrairah, Edit Mesh was unable to smooth the greebles on them properly.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm.I usually use edit poly.
π: 0 β©: 1
So the Renegade is more than 1 MIO polies in Editable Poly?
π: 0 β©: 1
Something like that....my JJ Renegade is about 200k
