Johnny's General Art Dump
« on: August 01, 2009, 07:18:09 PM »
Well, it's just a redesigned DY 100, but still.
Anyway, this is currently a "proof of concept" using Flanker's artwork from Scifi-meshes.com so most of the details are from his ships, my final version will be more more unified.

She's outfitted with 3 light plasma cannons, mostly used for deflecting spacebound material.
I was trying a sort of ENT/Halo/Battlestar feel, what do you guys think?

A little too military for a civilian transport ship.

3 light plasma cannons is hardly "too military" tbh. I actually like this redesign. Looks more detailed than the TOS version, but definitely more primative than the NX-01. Cookie for you :)

Sorry, I should been more specific. I wasn't referring to the armament (that's actually really good. :)) No, I meant the overall design reflects are more military style as opposed to something more streamlined, clean, and civilian.

this was of course Khan's ship, remember the Dictator of , OH 1/3 of the world. I toooo kind'a like it, but we all have different likes and dislikes.

Exactly as Tiqhud said. Khan was after all in control of atleast 1/3rd of the planet. The original Botany Bay (which was a "sleeper ship") should've been more militaristic to begin with, given that it was transporting Khan and a group of his fellow superhumans.

Well, IMO, she would have been used by everybody, civilian or otherwise. She was also built to be able to take glancing hits from asteroids.
Unlike the original version, I doubt she would have been built on Earth and sent up with 4-6 rocket boosters. (Doesn't seem practical to me)
With that in mind, I figured she could be a bit bigger than the classic one since they don't have to deal with getting into Earth orbit, her approximate length is 114 meters from the top of her front antennae to her stern. Also, I was trying to design something I thought could look good against the JJPrise so she kinda HAD to be at least a little bit bigger.

What I'm thinking, keep in mind, this is an alternate history:
During the early 1970's, when Richard Nixon was approached by NASA for funding, they proposed several concepts (which IRL happened, he said that they could only afford the space shuttle). Nixon chose 3 projects, a reliable/reusable low orbit spacecraft (the shuttle), a moderately large, low/mid orbit orbital station with small shuttles for higher orbit travel, and a small moon base which could be access from the station's shuttles.
During the 80's, Regan expanded the moon base to serve as his base of operations for the Star Wars program. During which factories were built to mine material from the moon.
After the Cold War, President Bush repurposed the lunar factories (by this time there are up to 20) to build exploration vehicles. Which eventually evolved into the DY series during the late 90's.
Her initial design was an all purpose craft, no variation between military and civilian variants, aside from slightly less powerful weapons.

Personnel for these vehicles would take a spaceplane (like the Spaceship One design on steroids) which would then dock at the newly created ISS, then take another transport to the fleet yards above Lunar 1 and board their ship.

I just realized why I went with the design layout ,which is a far venture from the official DY-100, was because I was going for something that resembled an extremely early predecessor of the Antares class. Of course, I still need to flesh it out more, but still.

Ok, redid her... again... I tend to do that... anyway, I'll admit, the previous one was way too Halo/Alien styled. This one holds true to the shape of the classic DY as well as using elements from ENT ships; Arctic One from the episode "Regeneration" and the J class freighter and a hint of the ship that flies over before the NX in the intro for the engine.

Further update:



Top one is what she looks like will all cargo pods, middle one is to show what she looks like under the pods, and the bottom one is all our favorite DY-100, the Botany Bay.

Btw, the reason that the body goes really thin near the rear of where the pods are is so that crew members can open a hatch located on the thinner part and get into the cargo pod's secondary access port in case of emergency.

Still need to figure out where I'm gonna put the fuel pods on this one. I'm trying to keep 8 of them, but 6 could work too.

I'm gonna turn this thread into my "General Art Dump" thread.

First off, something I whipped up in an attempt to get the working wormholes in Legacy textured like the STXI black holes.
Could be useful if someone wants to use it down the line:


Maybe it could be used as a Stargate Supergate retexture? Idk.
