Hi guys this is my own photoshop kitbash self edited drawing from technical drawings of a ship I have had in mind for a little while. In fact it is one that I am currently writing a story about, it is only rough and it fits in between the creation of the excelsior and ambassador class vessels. Built to be bigger and stronger than the excelsior but not quite as big as the ambassador. (talking in volume that is) It was used along the Cardassian border around the lost era period for maintaining border control. I have at the moment done a side view and a above saucer view. The reason I have posted it is just to see what people think of it and whether or not they think it a believable design for this era.

If anyone is willing to give a go at modelling it feel free I will allow a little artistic licence with the design as I am not 100% sure of how it will look myself. However the nacelles are canted over at a 45 degree angle leaning away from the ship and the nacelle pylons resemble more of a ambassador pylons but from where they do the 90 degree turn up they too are 45 degrees instead. If someone does make it all I ask is for my name to be mentioned as the draft designer.

Comments and critique welcome guys...

Just to add the greyish bits between the impulse engines is the main shuttle bay it has two doors port and starboard

how about changing the bussard collectors more towards that of an ambassador class? it looks a little too much like a standart tmp nacelle, which the excelsior and the ambassador never had.

but all in all its a lovely design so far.

True about about the nacelles I will give something a go, i've added the excelsior grilles to the nacelles above and below aft of the pylon but I dont want the nacelles to be short and fat like the ambassador it wouldn't look right with this design they need to be more slender and thinner than that of the ambassadors more like the excelsiors, maybe something a bit like the X-era nacelles from Star Fleet Command series.

I just got the fact that this ship is called falmouth (foul mouth). hahaha!

Jesus that is just scary how similar they are cinqnic what era were you posting this ship in? Do you mind posting a top down pic of the ship please so I can see how the shuttle bay works... Amazing similarity!

As for foul mouth, It is the River Fal in Cornwall England and Falmouth is the mouth of the river, where I live, not a pun on my username lol. It is the second deepest natural harbour in the world and is also where the first new of the success of the Battle of Trafalgar reached land and has the best pub in the world called the Chain Locker, which guess what the nic name for the ships equivalent of 10 forward is the chain locker.

If you hadn't guessed Cinqnic and myself are now working together on this project, myself as designer and cinqnic as designer and modeller.

Looking good guys!

ARSE · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2010, 05:35:05 PM »

Thats great I think though that the engines exhaust section needs to tilt forward from bottom to top if you get my drift, The shuttle bay is looking spot on! The engine cooling vents need a split down the middle from the reactor to the back of that area. What did you think of my suggestions for size of the vessel and the phasers idea?
