Here are some of my ship designs... i thought i'd post them as i have been made very welcome here on BCC thankyou all :)

Im really diggin the vigilent model hobbs, NICE!

Im really diggin the vigilent model hobbs, NICE!
heres my history for the vigilant:
Uss Vigilant
Vigilant Class
SPECIFICATION
The Vigilant class of star ship is designed as a explorer ship and federation perimeter ship. Its duty consists of exploratory and long range patrol ship. The Vigilant would perform duties similar to the Galaxy class.
It has a unique design consisting of an inline saucer/engineering hull.
The ship uses a through deck cargo bay which allows for the ship to utilise an imbedded bridge.(bridge replacement via cargo bay) and it has two aft shuttle bays dorsal and ventral fed by two bay doors
The ship has two main phaser strips running almost the length of the engineering hull, one dorsal one ventral. The saucer section has sixteen phaser strips, eight on the dorsal and eight on the ventral, four more are on the aft section, two dorsal two ventral outside the shuttle bays. Two forward torpedo launchers either side of the deflector array complete the Vigilant's offensive systems.
HISTORY
Built during the late 2370?s at STARBASE 67 this ship has none of the technology brought back to the federation by the crew of Voyager but nevertheless this ship has the best offensive and defensive systems available at the time.
This was proved during her shake down cruise, the NX Vigilant was exploring the armus, pelleus and boreal sectors when she was attacked by an annexing force of three Tholian vessels.
The NX Vigilant was able to destroy two of the ships and the third fled back to Tholian space.
Though victorious in her first combat action the NX Vigilant was damaged and returned to federation space and repaired at STARBASE 67.
Since that attack by Tholian ships Starfleet has built the Uss Argus and has three more ships of the Vigilant Class are planned simply due to the NX Vigilant?s victory against the Tholian?s.
Now in 2380 the Vigilant Class still operate out of STARBASE 67 but also STARBASE 32 near the MUTARA NEBULA.
-
Cool! I like the corium as well!
-
the corinium was also my idea for a starfleet ship that would do what the construction ships do but as an actual starship,
heres my oblivion class: designed to hold areas of space before the main fleet arrives.
-
Awsome!! Ill have to make a copy of the ship id like to make and post it for you to c, its a Federation Warbird.
-
The Corinium class is absoulutely cool! Looks like a replacement for the constellation class!
-
Hobbs, the Corinium class is killer, i'll be happy to make it for you after i finish the GRIFFIN if you like.
-
worf359alpha: cool cant wait sounds interesting
jamesTiberiusKirk: exactly! i loved the constellations ships and the new ones like the cheynne... so i made one myself :) just a sovie redesign (though i dont like the sovie) thanks :)
bankruptstudios: :o wow yes that would be awesome!
and the Corinium's history:
NX CORINIUM
CORINIUM CLASS
DEEP RANGE EXPLORER / RESUPPLY AND REPAIR SHIP
THIS SHIP IS ALMOST COMPLETE RE-BUILD OF THE SOVEREIGN CLASS OF STAR SHIP. THE CORINIUM IS BIGGER EQUIPPED WITH BETTER ENGINES SENSORS AND THE UNIQUE AUXILIARY CRAFT THAT ALLOW HER TO CONSTRUCT SMALL INSTALLATIONS IN THE REMOTE SECTORS SHE EXPLORES.
THE CORINIUM HAS A HUGE SAUCER SECTION THAT HAS A LARGE BAY DOOR AT THE FRONT SECTION WHICH LEADS TO A LARGE HANGER BAY THAT TAKES UP MOST OF THE SAUCERS INTERNAL VOLUME. THIS BAY IS FOR HER AUXILIARY CRAFT THAT SHE CARRIES TO THE UNEXPLORED SECTORS. THESE CRAFT ALLOW HER TO CONSTRUCT SMALL STARFLEET INSTALLATIONS AND REPAIR SUCH INSTALLATIONS AND SHIPS.
THE SECOND OBVIOUS FEATURE IS THE NACELLE ARRANGEMENT, CLOSE TO THE SECONDARY HULL AND ALSO DOUBLED UP TO FOUR SHE HAS THE ABILITY TO ALTERNATE NACELLES AND WARP CORES TO ENABLE BETTER EXPLORATION. THE CORINIUM HAS THE FOUR NACELLE CONFIGURATIONS SEEN IN THE CONSTELLATION CLASS OF STAR SHIP BUT HAS THE UNIQUE ADVANTAGE OF TWO WARP CORES, THESE ARE INSTALLED SIDE BY SIDE IN MAIN ENGINEERING.
THE CORINIUM HAS A CRUISING WARP SPEED EQUAL TO THE FASTEST SHIPS OF THE FLEET BUT A MUCH LONGER DURATION DUE TO SWAPPING OF ENGINES.
WITH SO MUCH EXCESS POWER THE CORINIUM HAS THE BEST AND MOST POWERFUL REGENERATIVE SHIELDS, SENSORS AND PHASERS AVAILABLE.
NAMED AFTER A TOWN IN ENGLAND ON EARTH, CORINIUM IS THE ANCIENT NAME FOR CIRENCESTER.
THIS SHIP UTILISES THE BEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE, THAT IS NOT TO SAY THE NEWEST, BUT THE MOST RELIABLE AND EASILY REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
-
well ive removed some of my posts i decided they were not good enough, but here is a redone drawing for the Valhalla Class Nx Valhalla, MVAM defender/escort.
The Valhalla Class is planned for 10 ships:
NX Valhalla
Uss Odin
Uss Thor
Uss Baldr
Uss Vali
Uss Tyr
Uss Heimdall
Uss Nordja
Uss Freyja
Uss Loki
-
Arthur and Gallahad should probably be at the top of the list, not just Gallahad. and unless you plan on making the Mordred a total bada**, the name's rep alone may make people shy away from it. for a counter to Mordred, name another one Quixote :D (or...Shrek :P )
I'd also pull name lists from the Crusades, Celtic Mythology, and other bits of western European heroes and Villans.
*grins* you just gave me a name idea for my Independence class, as well.
-
I was just messing with ideas lol couldnt think of a class name the other day (it was gon midnight lol) and i had just found a book i got from King Arthurs Great halls in tintagel lol and well there you go... be perfectly honest im not fond of the class name and yes i would have got "real" knights names from the crusades but then it was 421 this morning i put those names up lol
so what do you think of the design? think of it: starfleet sent 40 starships to fight the borg... if the had 40 of these lol they would have had 160 ships lol
-
interesting...reminds me of the Soulwolf designed as more of a one-peice than an open-butt. soverignise the popup nacelle and you have an all-style winner.
a suggestion for the armour class variant is Shaffron. see how many guys "get" that (i'm not spoiling it, so wiki it). or quite frankly, Grand Klaive as that's what it looks like to me. also, pull a few names from Chinese and Japanese mythology, weapons and people. you can't have a warrior class without a Samurai or two.
-
Dangit, Hobss, DADDY LIKEY, Likey BETY BETY MUCH! :shock: I like the names to, i also have an afinity for the legend of King Arthur (Arturious and Tristan is my faves, and i have 2 Excalibur Class Missile Cruisers named after them, very fitting)). I also like to name my ships after Greek and spesificly Spartan Heroes, As the Spartans were the badest mother*******s of their age, recently ive been reading alot of Obrien novels, about Jack Aubrey like the russel crowe movie Master and Commander, and has given me lots of great ship name ideas :lol:. @King Class Scout, Shaffron very good my friend, i like that! :) Make a good name for a BOP as they are the Cavelry of the Klingon Empire!
-
cheers... I'm still not sold on the names, or even the class name. but cheers :) the ship is a combat mvam vessel bout as fast as the fastest federation ships.(no slipstream etc....):D just thought of a name for the class and the ships che the edit above :D
-
Wolf: nope. i don't think the Klingons have riding animals. the only mention I've come across is in the extra novel "klingon" they wouldn't have the concept of it. besides, everything Klingon has it's own BUILT IN armor.
-
Well here's a ship that's been a pain in the butt lol
I been working on this for (i think) years. Apparently no matter how many times i try and draw the Scorpion class from plan and side views i cant do it! it just looks rubbish (and that's not me just saying that they were RUBBISH!) but last night i did this design, in an "artists sketch" look and well i think i like it.
Tell me what you think and if some one could do a side and plan view that would be great.
NX SCORPION
SCORPION CLASS - HEAVY COMBAT ESCORT
DUE TO THE SIMPLE FACT OF WAR STARFLEET HAS COME TO THE DECISION THAT IT WILL NEVER AGAIN LET THE FEDERATION FACE WAR WITHOUT THE MEANS TO COMBAT THAT WAR. IN THIS EFFORT STARFLEET BEGAN WORKING ON NEW COMBAT ORIENTATED STARSHIPS.
THE SCORPION CLASS WAS ONE SUCH DESIGN.
BUILT AFTER THE DOMINION WARS ENDED THE SCORPION UTILISES THE DATA FOUND FROM THE WAR IN REGARDS TO THE SHIPS SUCH AS THE DEFIANT CLASS.
ONE SUCH REALISATION WAS THAT SUCH SHIPS WERE PERFECT FOR STANDARD COMBAT BUT THE SCORPION CLASS ADVANCES THE TECHNOLOGY TO A DEGREE WHERE A LARGER SHIP CAN STILL FIGHT AS WELL. THE SCORPION CLASS IS SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN THE DEFIANT CLASS SHIPS AND UTILISES A FAR MORE EFFECTIVE AND STANDARDISED HULL SHAPE, DUE TO THIS THE SHIP IS ABLE TO CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT WARP FIELD.
WITH NEW ADVANCES IN WARP THEORY THE SCORPION USES A MORE CENTRALISED NACELLE CONFIGURATION WHICH FURTHER INCREASES THE EFFICIENCY OF THE WARP FIELD GIVING THE SCORPION CLASS A CRUISING SPEED OF WARP 8 AND A MAXIMUM SPEED OF WARP 9.99 FOR 12 HOURS.
THE SHIP ALSO USES A TYPE OF CONFIGURABLE WEAPONS POD AT THE AFT OF THE SHIP THIS POD IN THE NX TEST BED VERSION USES A ADVANCED HEAVY PHASER CANNON WHICH IS CLASSED AS TYPE XV (soveraign phasers are type XII) THE NEW PHASER ALSO HAS TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED FROM THE DATA GATHERED FROM THE BREEN DAMPENING WEAPON ATTACKS. THIS HAS PROVIDED THE SCORPION WITH A "sting" THIS CAUSES ALL PROPULSION SYSTEMS TO FAIL ON THE TARGET VESSEL.
THE SCORPION USES SIMILAR WEAPONS PODS ON THE NACELLES BUT DUE TO POWER LIMITATION AT PRESENT THE WEAPONS ARE SET TO BE EITHER PULSE PHASERS OR TYPE XII PHASER CANNONS
THE SHIP ALSO UTILISES QUANTUM TORPEDOES AND THE NEW TRANS-PHASIC TORPEDOES BROUGHT BACK BY VOYAGER, THOUGH THE FEDERATION IS DEBATING USE OF THESE WEAPONS AS STANDARD DUE TO THE DESTRUCTIVE CAPABILITY THEY HOLD.
-
am I the only one who could possibly do a full plan view, etc? i'm a draftsman by trade.
-
that would be great if you could :)
i don't know what my problem is though, i mean i can normally do plan views and can do some sort of passable side view but on this design.... it just goes wrong lol
-
Heres the ship i was telling you about Hobbs, i just started in 3DS Max on this baby, like i told you its an 18yr old design i did way back in 1991, im gonna refine it some in max, but the finished ship will look very simular, only more rounded!
-

nope, i do the same as well, tho im no draftsman, just good with paper and pencil lol :)
-

yeah, but do you have a degree in it? i specifically went to tech school for it, only to find out you must have either a BA or MA (I don't know which)...and then, I think, that's for Archetechtural draftsmen :mad !! I was trained as a mechanical draftsman, and I don't think there's much call nowadays for guys that draw gears, screws, bolts, and casings outside of the automotive industry.

no degree, however i spent 2 years in ITT Tech learning 3d design, drafting, modeling, etc. it was all mostly game related, but all that sharpened a hobby, those 24 credits i got are goin for the army :)
-
here is my oblivion class nif file if any one would like to see it... no textures yet.
this is mainly for worf359alfa, this is (so far) the best model ive made. i used Gmax.
what do you and the rest of you guys think.
-
here is my scorpion class
-
Hobbs: don't be suprised to see My credits on the Oblivion, somewhere. Worf359 and I have teamed up.
-
awesome didn't even know she was being don lol
but that's great... i constantly working on her myself sketch wise. smae design just tweaked :)
cant wait to get a glimpse. any help i can provide please dont hesitate to ask:)
-
Lookin good hobbs, i like it, i like it very much! Both are nice, i especially like the scorpion!!
-
LOL LOL i did a size comparison of my Griffin Class Uss Dragon (built by bankruptstudios), the Defiant Class and the Nova Class. not much difference ins size but thats not why im posting lol i placed the ships one on top of the other and got the following "kitbash" lol made me laugh at the fact it looked good :funny
-
WHOA! :eek
does anybody else wanna see someone actually MAKE this?
-
get rid of the nova nacelles and the front view looks like an actual ship.
-
get rid of the nova nacelles and the front view looks like an actual ship.
i second that notion, it would look ALOT better without them :)
see? screw ups can make for good ideas!
(fyi when i redid the arsenal the original mesh ACTUALLY started out as the vanity class. ;) )
-
here is a new ship...
SEASON CLASS
USS SEASON
(the saucer would be circular in shape i think)
this ship is an explorer ship. using dorsal/ventral nacelles which after using new warp field calculations has created a far ranging ship. the ship can cruise at warp speeds far longer than other starfleet vessels though its maximum warp is lower.
another feature is the over saucer secondary hull.
and the return to a horizontal warp core. which would be eject via a hatch at the aft of the ship between the nacelles.
tell me what you think guys, it was a quick sketch so be kind i haven't finalised it yet.
-
are any of these ships going to be modeled, textured, and everything so as to be used in BC?
or are they just sketches and the like?
-

unfortunately i have very limited modeling skills, i just come up with ideas.
one problem i have is lack of software. i use gmax which works but i dont know how to get textures onto the model.
but in answer to your question, yes some will be. i provide the plans and ideas and hopefully you modellers out there will like them and model them. (i am still hoping to do this myself one day)
the corinium is being modelled as we speak, i have one of my ships the griffin class done... not quite ready for release yet and i think the oblivion class is being done too.
-
I believe Jimmy was hinting at the possibility that this thread may be more suited for Graphic Art, since they are as you say, just ideas at current, and not actual ship WIPs (yet).
-
ok if this thread is in the wrong place could you move it. sorry but i thought general bc stuff would be for this. :roll
-
i just wasnt sure if it would be better in Modding or Graphic Arts...
for now, what ill do is move it to Graphic Arts, and when/if the models start being constructed for BC, the threads can be made in BC Modding :)

thank you matey:)
-
heres another one i did around the same time as the corinium....
that ship was a sovie/constellation
these are:
sovie/oberth (soverign/oberth)
sab/erth (sabre/oberth)
-
Saber/Oberth: actually, if you yank that eng hull off and flip the support over...it'd make a good post nemesis Miranda type, too...or yank everything but the nacelles. i'm liking the Suacer shape, personally.
-
cool glad you still like my designs heres two i did 230am sunday lol
uss diamond and uss ???? couldnt think of name for second one so any help would be nice lol
-
USS Squidworth? :D
-
lol i didnt see the squid like properties till you said..... but no lol
-
if you wanna throw the gag around, use the first part of the Scientific name.
how about USS Carbuncle? something that also pops up is one of the terms related to Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires (assuming that this is a mini of the Diamond class)
-
lol nice! oh by the way they are 2 completely seperate ships lol
heres another design
-
that reminds me of the Remora, a TMP era ship..
http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Starforce_Productions_Remora_Class_Variant_4;53502 (http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Starforce_Productions_Remora_Class_Variant_4;53502)
-
lol never seen it before... i love doing that lol making ships that are simmilar without ever seeing them lol
my ship though has two naceles side by side in one housing.
that remora is a nice looking ship :)
-
the Remora is from the FASA roleplay era, when that company held the Star Trek licence. i think it was the only sucessfull RPG version.
-
Lookin good hobbs, i like it, i like it very much! Both are nice, i especially like the scorpion!!
yes but i just found out that there is a federation Scorpion class... and better looking than mine lol

Vonnegut-Class[/b] Frigate
U.S.S. Vonnegut
NCC 71244
A Vulcan "Defiant-Class"-meets-"Intrepid-Class" variant advanced scout concept with severely reduced tactical profile and a prototype "Dauntless"-inspired Q.S.S. system. Designed by a Tellarite Engineer to be able to defend itself from Jem Hadar bug fighters, to Romulan Norexan-Class attack craft, to Klingon birds-of-prey with a scarcely-legal holographic masking system. A "Duck Blind" / "Infiltration" / "First Contact" vessel that has the ability to land / lift-off with ease.

I love the Griffin-Class. Any updates to that one?
-
hi thanks for the post :)
how do you pronounce your ship name lol
and the screen capture you showed is not the griffin class this is the griffin class below... the one you showed is a combination of the griffin, defiant and nova... it was an accident but i liked the way it looked lol
-
Von-eh-gut...as in the sports celebrity.
And I'da called the Happy accident "Chimera" class.
-
Any finished renders of the "Chimera"? I'd like to have it for my site.
Maybe an "alternate" (nightmare) future version of one of my already existing hero ships.
Thirty five years after "Star Trek: Nemesis", The Dominion are back, but this time, they're hungrier than ever before. Especially since getting cornered by (first) The Borg (right as the Caeliar show-up to absorb the Borg,) leaving them momentarily vulnerable to The Hur'q and other opportunists. The Borg are assumed to be gone but so are the Dominion's homeworlds. Their ketracel white facilities are gone. The Jem Hadar are awakening to their independence and telling off The Founders. Others are remaining loyal but only out of fear of the truth.
The Dominion's ore mining facilities are being hijacked by formerly subjugated races. The races once ruled with an iron fist are quickly figuring out how to use the hardware left on dead bodies and dismantle the Vorta cloning facilities or use them to engineer their own societies. Planets are being governed by a population that needs to eat and sleep, -- a population far outpacing resources. Federation (& other) dissidents are hearing about their problems and factions are gathering strength. Starfleet & The Federation are only just keeping pace, partnering Veterans & Cadets to build/maintain and fly the newest Frankenstein/Mothball Fleet ships.
-
i like your "nightmare" future :) especially the bit about having veterans and cadets together... makes sense and should be used in "prime" time line after all the lost ships during the dominion war.
and how about the Aberration-Class ?
-
That's fine with me. trekwriter31@yahoo.ca
-
Nice future timeline ships.

Nice future timeline ships.
thank you friend... any favourites

I'd consider using a flat ovular (ie: Intrepid-Class) design. The bridge would be a slightly-refurbished Defiant-Class module with reconfigured LCARS/M.S.D., or a museum ship (NX-Class) bridge that's been salvaged by "Project: Homefront" & refurbished with 2390's M.S.D. / LCARS. The TNG Relaunch-era equivalent of a TMP-era Eagle-Class.
-
I think the Abberation-Class would be ok, if the Nova-Class nacelles were removed.
-
I'd remove the Nova-Class nacelles and replace them with a Miranda-Class / Nebula-Class / Prevaricate-Class type overhead module.
-
indeed... i was thinking the same. though i'd like to reiterate that this was just an accident lol but i am attempting to combine them but my skills are limited :)
-
its been a while since i had a new design that i was happy with, this is my preliminary design for a new Uss Explorer
-
actually i rather quite like that.
-
I like it too, it resembles Oberth-class a lot.
-
Sweet Stuff. More, please.
-
thanks for the encouragement guys...
heres a few more:
-
It seems to have very modular nature. Similar to Thunderbird 2 from Thunderbirds. :D it also seems to have pretty beefy defensive capabilities.. Size-wise I'd say it's smaller than Norway but slightly larger than Nova. Streamlined shape gave me vibe of that alien slipstream ship that was trying to get USS Voyager crew into trouble, USS Dauntless..
-
actually its more of a saucer separation vessel but built as two distinct separate ships to give better strength and usability.
eg: the "saucer" would be similar to the galaxy saucer but it would be able to travel at warp speed and be used as a completely separate vessel. used as a transport ship for example with some capability such as science and research.
-
here is a new ship design (this time in 3d)
and the uss aggressor defiant style ship
-
I really like your ship designs. They're a very interesting break from the true and tried types.
-
I agree! Well done!
-
thanks guys :)
And heres a new one i just did on the train... Not sure of a name, but i was atempting to do a ship specifically for lionus lol so maybe 'Lion-o Class' Uss Liono :D
-
Hmm.. I think that Bobcat-class would be more fitting for this one. :D Seeing that it has stubby tail section..
-
Hobbs: my advice to you is to file these away where you will ALWAYS know where they are. I can't tell you how many of my old designs of starships and such have been lost because I doodled them on a sheet of paper that was lost somewhere. It's good that you make scans of them. Don't lose those images! ;)
-
heh kinda looks Dominion influenced.
-
I love the immutable-class runabout. The other ones I'm not so sure about. The new Defiant-based escort is cool.
-
a new ship just did while waiting for the mrs to get in lol
-
Heh, the rear of the ship is smiling at me. Cool!
-
nice ship :D
lets see... I see a face with two arms fist pumping and a big crown over the head.
-
heres a heavy fighter from the federation
-
IMO, wings are bit long, for fighter.
-
ok... Its changed
Its a 4 deck federation escort ship.
High manouverability due to the wide position of the impulse engines. 3 dorsal phasers, 1 ventral phaser. 8 pulse phasers.
-
ok hobbs that one is a must build XD, if ya want ill give you a hand(somehow....)
-
I aggree, but i would do a little more with the nacells. they look to small? :thumbsup:
-
yeah around 10 to 12.5% longer, that may balance the design, but all the ssame awsome must build right here XD :dance :dance :dance
-
ok lol build away, with edits as you see fit. Just credit me :)
-
hey wait a sec i cant build......i was talking about you.....
-
hey wait a sec i cant build......i was talking about you.....
Nope too late, you cant back out. Your project now
Lol
-
lol no, you do it, seeing as its your design.
-
Guys, we have a pm system here...
-
@ kirk: and yet you have not used it :facepalm:
here's a new design in 3d model version.
-
Haha! Reminds me a lot of Lego ships I used to build as a small child. :D
-
hmmm lego was cool.... and my mum sold mine. now i have a son who wont have my old lego to play with when he older.... :mad: :bitch:
here's an update to the runabout
-
Some bits look cool, but overall, it needs some slight streamlining.
-
Try tapering the top section in towards the middle. That should give you some nice rounding where you currently have some blocky action going on.
-
locke: yep my thought exactly lol
here's an up date, its just my first attempt at texturing
-
another idea i was trying out... not sure what it is, some sort of federation transport ship maybe.
-
thats a really.....(thinks: WTF is that thing).......interesting design hobbs.... :evil:
-
it's a federation system to system bus!!
-
an update
-
looks cool :D
-
thats a really.....(thinks: WTF is that thing).......interesting design hobbs.... :evil:
I think the "WTF" was uncalled for and disrespectful. Hobbs it trying hard and still learning how to model. I with every ship he's learning and improving.
Hobbs: Interesting design.i would sujjest wideing the hull x2 and making the nacellas curve up. Good work so far. :thumbsup:
-
it was a joke and hobbs got it, im talking to him on yahoo now, and he doesnt care.....ask him and you'll see...
-
Heh.

already beat you :P
-
well its been awhile so i guess first i say hello....
Hello all.
I was looking at the ST:Infinite Space web site and while looking at the 3D view of the Norway Class i was inspired to do the following design idea.
the new hull would fit into the slight cut out in the bottom of the current Norway class hull.
let me know what you guys think.
edit: front view added
-
not bad! Perhaps you can stretch the saucer a bit? so it looks a bit sleeker?
-
here's a new ship i've been working on... cookie for what it is and from whence it comes.
-
it vaguely resembles one of the generic raider fighters from Babylon 5
-
Indeed.. and weren't technomage's ships similar too?
-
aces_high recives a cookie :)
lionus: you are correct though there is a large tail fin on the back
-
it vaguely resembles one of the generic raider fighters from Babylon 5
vaguely???? any help you can give on how i can make it better would be well received.
-
Those grate things were a lot bigger and thicker
-
well, it's been a while since I've watched B5, I wasn't 100% sure. also, I could have sworn it was yellow on the show, but that might have been the lighting, maybe I should watch Thirdspace again.
-
"working on" not "finished" lol
still need to do the textures lads lol :)
-
Looks great mate! :)
-
hi guys and gals (if there are any... other than lionus of course lol)
heres two designs inspired by the concept drawings of my step sons aged 7 and 10
edit: neither the 7 nor 10 year old are remotely interested in trek
-
sorry for bumping this thread but the boys are asking if anyone said anything about the ships.
-
a new design from this weekend
NX EDC (Experimental Design Concept*)
(http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/u383/ussgriffin/EDC1.png)
(* or Erica Doreen Craven [my mrs lol] (note where i come from mrs=girlfriend)
-
Nice design, exept for the naccelles. they looks very cartoony as they are too fat in front.
-
cheers... lol i was trying to go for the same shape as one half the ship ie: put nacelles together and it looks like the same shape as the ship
-
I like that one alot, the only thing i can find a bit off in my eyes is the size of the saucer section, you say youver based the nacells off of the shape of the ship if it were split in half, but the curvature of the nacells is steeper than the saucer, perhaps widen the saucer a little bit to achieve some extra symmetry?
but overall, a very well drawn and details design concept. Kudos! :yay: :thumbsup:
-
thanks dude... its my beta design lol... will work on it
it shows it not but the saucer i think is almost a cone shape ill continue the design and show what i mean.
-
And you claimed that you can't draw.. :P good job, looks excellent
-
Suggestion for modification (widening the saucer):
(http://s13.postimage.org/5p5y9w753/hobbs_edit.png) (http://postimage.org/)
Gotta say thou, I really like the design. I picture it being rather heavily armored, possibly with visible ablative armor?
-
thank you :)
have to say thats a good look and also if you check out my recent ships you will see modelled in armour with my style of ablative texture.
-
I really like it. I think it would be perfect if the saucer had the exact same width as the outside of the nacelles. Great drawing, btw.
-
I really like it. I think it would be perfect if the saucer had the exact same width as the outside of the nacelles. Great drawing, btw.
thank you sir, getting lost of praise for this ship may have to build her lol
hmm the reason the width of the saucer is less is because the nacelles are in line with the centre of the hight of the ship. but i could raise or lower them... or it may still work if i can make the nacelles visible by 50% (i think thats the rule)
