Title: Deep Space 10 - SDS Infinity
Post by: Raven Night on March 19, 2021, 09:48:13 PM: This is the big kahuna. The Infinity class.

What's notable about this one is that it is NOT a starship...it is a battlestation. A battlestation that can travel like a starship.

It has a total of 8 warp nacelles. The decks are situated fore to aft instead of port to starboard, and it has an ops center instead of a bridge. It also has 4 deployable docking arms when deployed in battlestation mode.

I can give more details, but wanted to get some pics up for now so you can see where it's at at the moment. This is a massive beast, 3220m from head to toe.

This is a shot of the station deployed in station mode without it's docking arms deployed, next to a Sov for comparison.

The next shot is the station in travel mode with the Sov next to it.

Note the warp nacelle doors closed when it deploys as a station...they also are closed when the siege mode is required for protection or when it is in ram mode.

Post by: flarespire on March 23, 2021, 12:50:24 PM: ok, thats exactly what I needed to see, I originally thought she was a bit too jagged to be a starfleet vessel/station, but now I know those side segments are thicker (by deck height) than the sovereigns saucer is, it doesn't feel as bad as I thought it did, good work!

Post by: Raven Night on March 23, 2021, 01:24:15 PM: Yea, the jagged hull extensions are actually functional....they represent the "drilling" ability of this station when in ram mode. Think of the upper structure of the station as a "drilling wedge", designed to push away debris.
