Update on PDW Constitution :

So I decided to rename the ship to Sobieski class but don't worry ya Cortez fans ;) Sobieski will be kind of lightly armed first-of-its class deep space explorer with limited torpedo capacity as well as it will have following phasers coverage : 3 main phaser stripes on saucer (heavy type XIII) and 3 on secondary hull which will be light type XIII type. Cortez will be a light battle cruiser with more and sharper teeth : forward launchers will fire up to 8 quantums (4 per each tube while Sobieski can fire only 2), aft launchers will fire 4 quantums -2 per tube (Sobieski only 2 - 1 per tube) also it will be fitted with additional 2 dorsal saucer phaser arrays and additional 4 arrays on both pylons (dorsal and ventral side) all of them will be the same heavy type XIII and Cortez will be equivalent for Krakow Excelsior type (formerly known as PDW Excelsior)

here are some pics of nearly finished secondary hull and fresh aft view for deadthunder

Wow, so may pdw TMP ships, i even started one!
yup, because i now have photoshop, i can start editing textures
anyway, the constitution, Heavy tactical refit, you can't see them in the pic, but it has 6 torp tubes, and phaser arrays
nacelles are longer, and recolored, impulse is red instead of orange, and i am working on damage textures(notice that some go right under the phasers)

And a progress with the TNG proxima

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #323 on:** February 13, 2010, 02:10:31 PM »

progress on my connie, i have lengthened the nacelles about 45%, and added 9 phaser arrays, making 11 phaser arrays total, also i want to know, should it have Quantum or photon torps(or both)?

Good, the sobieski has a rear shuttlebay, i just don't like the position of the impulse engines

Those nacelles at those length look stupidly long. Shorten them a bit.

totally agreed lol, yeah I'm gonna replace impulse engines cuz they look kinda too old compared to the rest of the ship, also I'm gonna place them on saucer rim level.

DT, restore the naccel size. Play with the vertexes and you can make great TNG naccel, but dont make them longer than their original lengh.

New impulse engine

I tried putting it into saucer rim and it just didn't look right due to shuttlebays

Isn't blue a bit overkill on that ship?

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #330 on:** February 13, 2010, 04:36:54 PM »

how about this?

Bones · « **Reply #331 on:** February 13, 2010, 04:48:11 PM »

nope it didn't look right ;)

I liked Ambassador's blue impulse grille, besides blue is my fav colour so Sobieski class will have blue impulse

Cortez will have red impulse like this :
(update on pylons)

Dalek · « **Reply #332 on:** February 13, 2010, 04:51:36 PM »

Ah, ok.

Perhaps the Cortez could be slightly different by having the impulse engine a little higher up? Some silly physics rule might say it'll make it go faster.

Bones · « **Reply #333 on:** February 13, 2010, 05:36:51 PM »

yeah, few differences would be great, I was thinking about replacing observation deck on both sides of the secondary hull with pulse phasers array (6 per each side like this : | o o | || | o o | || | o o | ) also golden deflector, red impulse engines under the saucer, additional phasers, expanded bussard collectors

I decided to get rid of the scimitar in favor of this:

Dalek · « **Reply #335 on:** February 13, 2010, 05:44:20 PM »

Woah, she's going to be a beast Bones. I'm sure Sisko would be proud.

Edit: I don't think you should get rid of the Scimitar. Although the Scythe isn't canon it looks to be a small ship compared to the design of the Scimitar.

Bones · « **Reply #336 on:** February 13, 2010, 06:02:15 PM »

Ok here's just a quick reskin of what cortez will look like, possibly there will be more dark accents to it also pulse array will have modeled in 'tubes'

Dalek · « **Reply #337 on:** February 13, 2010, 06:05:43 PM »

Looks good.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #338 on:** February 13, 2010, 07:01:46 PM »

It does look good, just not too fond of the impulse drive placement...

Bones · « **Reply #339 on:** February 14, 2010, 02:15:41 AM »

ok so be it ! I'll place them under saucer ! :mad

lol just kiddin'
now seriously, I'll move them to few locations and post pics ;)

EDIT : UPDATE :
How's this ?
