This is the Patriot-Class Escort Frigate, one of the ships for my XWA Project and I guess she'll be next on my release list =)

I would say that is bad @%# except for the actual ship hull texture. It is way too plain in some areas and kind of dull...The lights on the ship feel a bit cartoonish as well. Other than that it is AWSOME

If you mean those textures at the nose, those are temporary.

The blue stuff is...icky. Nice model, though.

Well, actually the whole ship hull. One, it just doesn't look used enough. What I'm trying to say is that the ship hull texture is very boring and plain. Give it some life and background by adding burns, impressions, ect in the texture itself. Maybe darken all the gray too. And yes, those forcefield-ish windows are hideous. The model is excellent, though.

The model itself rocks. But ya, the textures are a little weak. One question, what is the big blueish glowing thing near the engines? The power generator?

Nope, those are DEFAULT textures set by the OPTing program.

BTW, if the images above don't work, use thses:
Patriot Frigate 1
Patriot Frigate 2

Alright, I'll see what I can do about the textures, add wearing and such.

However, there's not much I guess I can do about those windows, apart from changing the color. Due to XWA only allowing 8Bit textures with a max. resolution of 256x256 I only have a few pixels for the windows, unless I want to boost the texture count.

Very nice, looks like a worthy addition to XWA. I agree about the textures though.

Update!

So, what's new ...
- Textures have been darkened, sharpened & weathered.
- Window's are now white to white-blue, giving it a more realistic look.
- less default textures.
- some windows scaled up.
- some windows removed

So here we go:
(NOte: the texture at the very front still has the blue windows, because the texture itself is still a WIP anyway.)
