i can see the simularities

but i much prefer the EXIA... but then i have issues with ST:online ships lol

still... good eyes ares93

Bank~ can you send me any info on the EXIA's specs... if you can indicate the following:

1)Warp core type : would it be a new type or same as galaxy or defiant or sovereign
2)Weapons : same thing would it be type 10 phasers like the galaxy, type 12 like the sovie or pulse cannons like the Corinium-A/defiant
3)Shield system: similar to what ship or new type
4)Manoeuvrability : i assume she is quick and agile like the defiant
5)Sensors: high level? for combat use.

with one exception: the discovery class. but that's because it shows up in my fanfic lol.

about the sensors. you gotta have chroniton based ones. there's nothing cooler than to be able to see into the future.

The voting is about even. I'd say do both registries and have different retextures for each ship.

I jest got smacked by my wife, lol, i told her that Exia was close to winning and she wanted to vote, so i told her to sign up and vote, well i guess she took it the wrong way, lol.

Any way, i'm glad to see voting is still happening and i got some updates for you to see. I think the main design is down to where i like it. I will be adding in details and smoothing parts. I'm still thinking on the weapons lay out. The ships purpose is not to be an escort like the defiant. She'll be half the size of a Sovy, around 3 to 400 meters. Not sure how many deck that will be. I don't want her to be a flying phaser, but she will be a stand alone war ship originally designed during the DW. The first and only ship prototype was finished jest shy of the battle at Cardassia and the top brass felt that a weapon system like this may pervoke other governments during the after math of the war. SO for some years she sat in the fleet yards till the late 2380's when she was needed finally.

Refitted with the Vesta  chroniton based sensors in the dual sensor pods a top the ship. Transphasic shields, torpedoes and 8 Mark 2 Transphsic  phasers emitters. Quantum torpedoes and standard Photons will be on board and the new Mark 1 prototype Mag pules dual canons for disabling ship quickly. Her hull armor is nearly 3 times thicker then most ships so the dual core system was placed in her to power all her systems and the new quad pulse engine  to make her as agile as a defiant.

With all of this and more classified systems, Star fleet felt she was not for the peaceful era that was ahead. But all things come to an end.....

Damn bankruptstudios you turning her into the ultimate federation warship(transphasic shielding)I gather that's the next evolution up from multiphasic force fields I take it  :D for me I like the U.S.S. Nexus(or the Nexus class)I don't know, for some reason whenever I hear Exia, kinda sounds like a Talaxian female name.  :P

My wife is so happy that EXIA is now in the lead, lol. Up till i told her that the poll is staying open till i finish the ship.

DejavU: Yep, your right, she was designed to answer the call that the defiant and other small escort classes failed to do. In a war that bug ships would ram Fed ships, or attack in squads of 3 or simply overwhelm there targets with pure fire power Star fleet seen the potential of the Defiant against a singe target of larger, more powerful class ships. Shortly after with MVAM Prometheus's potential to hold up with 3 ship, the thought was to designing a full size cruiser that could engage many targets alone. In war this would mean less crew, less ships needed and cost would be low. Instead of balancing a fight on a 1 to 1 scale, Star Fleet could send a single ship in to combat 3 to 6 ship with a reasonable good out come in there favor.

But as the war ended, the idea of this design was less and less needed. Star Fleet turned its intress to Medical and Explorer type classes.

Nice! :thumbsup: What color are you planning to have the transphasic phasers? I'm thinking maybe whitish with a bluish inner core.   ;)

Here is a side project i'v jest finshed. Its the Station That in the painting in the Enterprise-D's Readdy Room wall.

I'm not sure who ED is, but he built this very nice model and gave it to Tiqhud. He in turn gave it to me to convert it and do some base textures. Jest a little eye candy for you all.

Those textures are badly warped and old. Ask Unknown perhaps if you can borrow his textures.

No, as in quality-wise-Stock-BC old. The Zorg/Morpheus Starbase textures would do well on this as well.

Here is a sweet update for you. The rear inpulse engins and lower hulls nearly finshed, plus the rear shuttle bay. I'm still thinking about the pylons and the end of the upper hull on how i want them to look, but i think i'm on the right track.

After talking with Unknown, he cave me permission to convert his new Station textures over to mine. Also after watching TNG season 1 i also added some stuff the original was missing. Over all i think she is sweet. Enjoy.
