Sweet, can't wait to see more. :-P Now, to bug you on WLM to get more of those WIP pictures. lol Just kidding.

Looks nice so far. The landing triangles/pads are a bit dark, but some weathering could blend them in.

i was Wondering what they are for - i take it after saucer sep they help the ship land on a planet in an emergency??

Yes on the third leg is under the neck.

On the refit there are four landing pads and a more clear seperation plan on the neck.

Contemplates an MVAM connie :angel

wait, the third leg on the TOS was in the neck?

I still wonder what's with the red and orange decoration in the window clusters

4096's will be a bit too much for anything but modern deliberate gaming rigs, but, whatever makes your cuppa.

and, baz, still got your MVAM refit, too.

Been there, done that lol but not TOS.

No offense to the ship models... but that looks... bad

"MVAM" on a TOS/TMP Connie is just a bad idea entirely, since there aren't any impulse engines on the stardrive. How would the stardrive move after separation? Likewise, how would a saucer go into warp without warp drive?

cordanilus · « **Reply #530 on:** February 20, 2012, 01:18:35 PM »

I don't think it is a bad idea, the galaxy class saucer doesn't have warp engines either. But I assume that the saucer would be just a big lifeboat and the stardrive left behind, if it was too damaged. lol Unless they used the shuttles as tugs. :-P

It was meant as an emergency system. As in, warp core breach imminent and core ejection systems aren't working.

How are we so sure that the stardrive wasn't equipped with "emergency" impulse engines?

Look at the Daedalus Class, the impulse engines were built into the rear section of the warp engines... I don't see why that couldn't also be implemented on the Constitution Class.

I'm reading the star trek book called Q zone. Apparently, the sovereign class is able to saucer seperate too

FarShot · « **Reply #534 on:** February 20, 2012, 02:20:58 PM »

Ever since she was designed, it was envisioned. It's just that when it came to the modelling, the plane was never really defined on the dorsal part, just aft of the shuttlebay. The division was eliminated even more with the more streamlined Nemesis refit.

086gf · « **Reply #535 on:** February 20, 2012, 02:26:19 PM »

Well if you look at all of the classes that an Enterprise has been(minus the NX) it looks like they all could do it easily.

Ok so had a big day today texturing my new constitution class, i have textured the main hull, the nacelle and started on the MISC texture too. I have decided to upload a few pics so you guys can see how she is fairing

First up is the deflector array,this time instead of using a single base colour,Brown last time i think, i decided to try and make it a little bit more real, so i found a picture of some copper on google, polar coordinated it and then using a darker colour done 2 rings where the ridges where, added a drop shadow and a bevel, i think it looks quite good

inside and pylon just showing the inside of the pylon and nacelle as you can see still not finished yet

side view so far

what you guys think so far?

moed · « **Reply #537 on:** February 22, 2012, 03:07:40 AM »

You know, no matter how many iterations of this class of ship is made, I never get tired of a new one.

Excellent work.

KrrKs · « **Reply #538 on:** February 22, 2012, 06:00:32 AM »

Does it just look that way because of a slight perspective or are the Nacelle Pylons indeed angled forward?
(Sorry if that doesn't make sense, i don't know hot to express that properly atm)

Phoenix Bondi · « **Reply #539 on:** February 22, 2012, 06:52:15 AM »

i think i know what u mean, Actually yes i have tilted them slightly Just so u can see thats all lol
