I'm starting out by reworking my TOS Miranda. She has essentially the same primary hull as the rest of the fleet, so she'll let me know what I'm in for.

| TOS Miranda: Partially Reworked |
The new Pent and Tet blocks provide a noticeably smoother and more modeled structure. At a distance, the improvement isn't overwhelming. Up close it makes a world of difference. Check out the images of the lower dome below. The effect would be even smoother and prettier, but the beveled edge of the pent gets shadowed when there are blocks on either side, even if they don't obscure that face at all. This makes for a rather jagged look with the row of shadowed triangles marring what should be a smooth face.
