Small craft:
Peregrines
Ventures
Assorted shuttles
A new type of Delta Flyer (the Alpha Glider? Hahaha)

That would be interesting. The Centuar, hmm. bit old and cranky for a big TNG2 ship?

then doc mccoy's new minotaur

Now, about the feasability (did I spell that right? lol), think about this...

They have a freakin huge spacedock a hundred years before this!!!  Slap on a couple warp nacelles and a warp core and you've got THIS!

Now then...
An Intrepid can fit, but shouldn't be held inside i.e. only serviced.  Larger ships can basically dock, with tubes or whatever linking them.

The Rotunda is what it sounds like: a city the size of a galaxy's saucer, sort of like an 8472 terrasphere.
Okay, not THAT big...  :P

I know that I drew the torpedo emplacements out of scale.  Get over it.

It IS 61 decks.

This is a huge ship.  Expect it to move slowly.

Prime is right.  Avalon is HIS concept, and he can make it his way.  I'm only gonna texture it.  And provide constructive criticism.  I expect the same from him.  Where Avalon is a Starfleet command ship, Camelot is a UFP equivalent.  If the Borg assimilate Earth, the UFP will stay here.  Avalon will be Starfleet's fleet command ship.  Starfleet is the UFP's arms and legs.  Avalon is the cerebellum, Camelot is the brain.  Excalibur is the palm at the center of the fingers, or the torso at the center of the appendages, or whatever you want it to be.

Whew, I think my soap box needs a break... :P

Then it should be as big as a Dison Sphere, and travel around the galaxy at transwarp speeds and stop at specific locations like a train.

A Dyson Sphere is a bit much. Just something the size of the mushroom base is enough.

if this craft was the size of a Dyson sphere, you may as well put every UFP member on it and abandon all the planets.

For one, if the ship was as big as a Dyson Sphere, you'd kill everyone cause you'd warp into a star and boom, there goes your ship. Secondly that ship is huge, I wonder how many warp drives it would take to power it. Also something I was thinking, what would happen if it had a warp core breach? Abandon all planets? Lol.

Whew... some of you may have wondered where I've been...

Was grounded, so I couldn't get on my comp.  :(  Anyways, Prime you were telling me about your model.  I'm not likely to run into you on Xfire these days, so could you just post some screenies here?

Okay, so I'm slowly working off the really rough model I made ages ago, but here is a first glance. I put the Sovvie in for an idea of size, though the perspective kinda kills it.She won't have all those errors and sharp edges when she's done (The saucer is still the basic one I made, as well as most of the whole thing but..)

Looking good, Prime.  I'll draw a couple follow up pics, showing the front and aft in more detail.

its a nice concept, but il admit to disliking the large protrusion on the saucer.

On the front?  That's the opening to the main hanger.  If they came from the back, it'd be too small.  That's a shuttle/fighter bay.  The front is where the big ships go in.  And in case of an emergency, the whole top half of the saucer separates, exposing the main bay from above

I had an old design under the name of Zeus somewhere, dunno if here or in BCU, but it was something like this. sort of a big, slow, command vessel, with site to dock a Defiant on the back ala amphibious assault ship and a bunch of fighters.
also was equipped with side cannons just like the camelot. since it can't turn fast, I thought a bit of extra cover would come in handy.

that, and I love the 18th century look of cannons on the side  :lol:

one thing you should revise, tho: a phaser arc that big would take a lot more energy and time to recharge than a common Galaxy-like bank. granted, it packs a hell of a punch, but with something this big you can't aim that easily and every shot counts.
I say you split it into several smaller banks around the ship, covering more spots, like those on the Emperor's uber-Neghvar of DS9.
and that hangar on the front, I tried it too on the zeus, but didn't fit right. it would work better on the back. being on the front, if a ship comes in to dock, it wouldl have to shorten the maneuvering distance and time. coming from the back, it can slow down and gain distance to the hangar. yes, tractor beams help a lot, but this way it shares more resemblance to an actual modern carrier.

funny how this is turning to be the ST equivalent of the star destroyer  :shock:

Right, so I did a little bit more. Unsure if I'll be able to do any more work until boxing day so I figured I'd show what's been done now.

Yes, I see the errors, the saucer hasn't been redone yet so they'll be there until it is. :arms:

I believe you have just made the personification of the word "butch". Incredible!
