Sorry guys, no updates till tomorrow. It turns out I got distracted by something pretty. Someone has come up with a way to create a procedural voxel nebula.

 That's a fine ship there!

 Is it me, or does it look like it could be carved in stone? I think so... and I think it looks great!
Hope you get it finished soon, 'cause I wanna blow up some Cardies with it!
Did you know I'm on Twitter?

Anyone interested in making a font so I can put signage on her?

AT LAST IT IS DONE!

All color maps have been completed. (bump, spec, and illum maps are easy to make).

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the J'Va-class Star Crusier.
She's around 380 meters long, and pretty well armed for a heavy cruiser.

I have decided on the name J'Va to honour a good friend of mine who passed away about 3 weeks ago. He would've liked this design, for what little he was into Star Trek anymore.

In universe it was named after the first Betelgeusian to make it into space from their homeworld. She's armed with 8 phaser1s and 4 phasers3 (sfb's primary and defensive phasers, respectively). She's got 2 photorps, and the one photon lance. You'll notice that there aren't any weapon ports for the photon cannon. See, there are very powerful force-field generators along the front of the "horn" (they also serve as the deflector when in warp, in a much lower power setting) that gather the needed particles in front of the ship, and then tears the field open when it fires. (think like the Yamato cannon in Starcraft 1).

Woah - old, dead topic... Just thought I'd mention that this ship is up for download at my site (in SFC format, not BC). Starforce has a copy of it - so he may end up porting it over.

The front reminds me of Colonial One  :P... Awesome work though, an intriguing, interesting, brand spanking new design.

Have a cookie.

Wow.  I missed this during my sabbatical.  Neat thoughts on the Trek universe canon.  Dead wrong, but neat nonetheless.  :)

Anyway, I like this ship design!  Very elegant and organic.  I reminds me of Prince's symbol.  That, and BSG's Colonial One (the bow, obviously).

I'm sorry - Dead Wrong?

EDIT: I apologize - I jumped the gun.

I very much take the attitude of "Salad Bar" when it comes to trek - take what you want and leave the rest. My little Trek universe started off as a way to find a middle-ground between Starfleet Battles and Canon trek. I've since expanded on it. I know its not canon - but It's the way I prefer things. Consider it like this: there's the Roddenverse, the Abramsverse, and now the FoaSverse.

Don't hit me, but I quite enjoy the Abramsverse and the FoaSverse more. :S


...

And a little alternate universe version of ships that I really should get back onto. Anyway! Another cookie from me bud, she's beautiful! A real work of practical art. :lol:

Oh, I have no problem with people making their own canon.  It's when they try to justify blatantly uncanon things as being part of the canon that I get annoyed.

As long as they distinguish their 'verse from the canon one, it's all good, baby! :P
