I dunno why, but this ship gives off a strong "love boat"-vibe.. I could so see this being the Star Trek cruise vessel for newly weds and such..

Um, no. That would be the Enterprise-D from seasons 1-3. This one is more like a speedboat.

I see that the shuttle bay has a gray chevron on it. Reminds me of the JJPrise... I likey!

I agree, I had those same thoughts about the design.

Very well done and unique looking. Like what you have done so far.

Made a relatively crude idea in Photoshop of how I meant it. Currently, those "engines" don't look a whole lot like impulse engines. Obviously, you choose whichever style you want, but this edit is merely to visually aid in how I meant it

Though crude, but very nicely executed. They look a little too traditional, but it wouldn't stop me from doing a possible variant. I can still add some grilles to the existing engines. I liked a yellowish color for the impulse engines because that is how John Eaves colored them when he drew up ships designs for ST: Online back when it was by Perpetual.

I really love that deflector dish there Wiley! The impulse looks a little strange straddling the dark and light parts of the hull.

And smart move having the bridge be inside and not exposed.

I really like the design and how it is shaping up. Also the new style of impulse engines are brilliant. Beautiful work.

HHHmmmmm...nice Relativity/Dauntless/Norway concept. Me likey very much.

That was Darkthunders concept idea to explain to WC how he thought impulse engines should be.

I've added some more details- random red things, phaser emitter textures, shield grids and more cargo bays. The large gray bits on the underside are either cargo bays or docking panels for starbases. All I have left are the nacelles, speculars, and alpha channels. Everything will look much better once I get some scene lights on the ship.

Like alot of the ideas concerning the impulse engines. I like the yellow-orange design as well.

Personally, I like the way the design is on them now as far as the shape of them. Maybe widen them vertically and add a unique grid design. The Sabre Class impulse engines in KM come to mind. They have a great looking grid. Something in that kind of design on these would be cool

The new pics look awesome. Good job so far.

They would look too big for a ship of this size, and I already have a grille design on them.

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #2434 on:** August 10, 2010, 04:40:22 PM »

personally i think the concept of inset impulse engines like that is awesome, not to mention harder to hit.

Nebula · « **Reply #2435 on:** August 10, 2010, 04:51:17 PM »

at least have some sort of border around that grid design... right now it looks to odd and doesn't conform around the edges.

Captain_D · « **Reply #2436 on:** August 10, 2010, 11:21:14 PM »

Oh, ok. now I can see where your going with it. That shot makes it more clear now.

She?s a beauty, I?m impressed, especially by the colors!

Loving the design, Wiley. The ship looks like it's hitting a "ski jump" pose, giving it a forward lunging appearance. Is the paint just cosmetic or does it help with the quantum slipstream or something? Either way it looks great. I love the impulse engine design too.

Have a cookie.

Nice texture work Wiley.
