I really like where this heading. You know your ship design lineage!

:eek Have a cookie, this is definitely shaping up to be one hell of a Klingon ship.

very nice, as for the rim, side of head be carefull how much detail u include, the poly count can RUSH up in seconds,

to sum up my vorcha hit around 28k

No doubt with your skill's your get a much better result

Good luck, i really can't wait to see your finished klingon ship

Eloi · « **Reply #164 on:** June 30, 2013, 02:03:02 PM »

Thanks for the advice. Your Vor'cha looks amazing by the way, and you're right, the poly count is coming up quickly.

I've built those pallets with greebles into easily removable sections so if the poly count is too high, I can easily replace them with flat panels that can have greebles textures on. I can even use the mesh itself to render images of the greebles and then apply them to the model if necessary.

The detail on your ship is amazing!

No doubt, this ship will be worthy of the most battle-hardened Klingon warrior.

"Qapla!"

Thanks ViperM1.

Okay, now that I've got the ship's entire body fleshed out I'm ready to show off the ship as a whole. Basically all I built today were the nacelles. Consider this ship a post-nemesis Attack Cruiser to replace construction of Vor'cha Class ships.

I've tried to give the ship a bit more of a weighty feel than the Vor'cha but without the sheer girth of the Negh'var. At the same time, I've tried to give it a predatory stance from the front to simulate the appearance of a B'rel hanging over you. There are still lots of details, changes and additions to come, but the general design is now laid out. Having done these renders I'm probably going to look next and making the ship's belly a bit heftier.

As for weapons systems, I'm modeling the actual systems in. Currently the ship is armed with a forward torpedo launcher, 4 distruptor beams on the head, 2 beams and the aft of each nacelle, 2 disruptor cannons on the forward tips, and 2 cannons at the fronts of each nacelle. She will have teeth!

Ideas are welcome!

Only change I would do is maybe swing the pylons slighly fore... just ever so slightly.

I'm not really a fan of those nacelles I don't think they fit with the rest of the ship :/

And maybe widen them a bit. Beyond that? Exquisite. Looks like it'll pack a punch.

Whatchu talkin' bout Neb?

Neb is always talkin' smack about nacelles

Not bad Eloi!

Not bad at alll!

tiqhud · « **Reply #171 on:** July 01, 2013, 08:33:16 AM »

I kinda like them nacelles, it is new design for the Klingon s

Vortex · « **Reply #172 on:** July 01, 2013, 10:14:19 AM »

Love it. It looks to be a good fit in with DJ's 25th Century Galor and the Century.

Very nice design. (Nacelles are fine, though shouldn't the bussards be green, not red?)

captain_obvious · « **Reply #173 on:** July 01, 2013, 10:47:36 AM »

I like it a lot! The only changes I'd make would be to widen the pylons a wee bit and give them a slight sweep to the rear.
Goddamn, that's probably going to be a lot of work in itself lol! I like where this is going though.

Post Nemesis. Negh'var, Vorcha... red bussards.

Lurok91 · « **Reply #175 on:** July 01, 2013, 12:25:07 PM »

I like it, nacelles and all. They have a slight Fed feel, which post-Dominion War kinda makes sense

A long time since I've seen any. I did think afterwards that the Vorcha's may have been red, but wasn't sure. All I remember of the Negh'var was BIG!!

Nebula · « **Reply #177 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:43:40 PM »

well what I mean is I don't really like those greebles on the sides of the nacelles... they just don't feel right for a ship this advanced. :/

starship · « **Reply #178 on:** July 01, 2013, 02:27:10 PM »

Uau Eloi! You're to much creative!
It's an amazing ship for the klingon Empire.

moed · « **Reply #179 on:** July 01, 2013, 02:44:07 PM »

Like it a lot as it is. I'd add a bit of "ribbing" maybe along the neck?

Great work!
