Title: Trek in its Steampunk form.
Post by: Furyofaseraph on February 22, 2009, 01:39:42 PM: There is a Steampunk contest that is ending in 6 days, and I just started something. A Steampunk version of a Trek ship. Some of you might be familiar with Steam Trek (an RPG at Steam-Trek.com) and I thought I'd do my own version.

If I were you, I'd make the bridge more like a crow's nest type thing.

"Sky...the final frontier. These are the voyages of the airship Highwind."

Post by: FourChan on February 23, 2009, 02:20:21 PM: Steam punk ships would rock, I mean...TOS ships mostly would benefit from the designs. Also steam punk based bridges as well.

Don't get me ideas. The weaponry is another thing-- lightning for phasers? Energy cannons/missiles? HG Wells, Jules Verne, and that mechanical spider from Wild Wild West............time for me to conjure up an USS Enterprize :twisted:.

Post by: FourChan on February 24, 2009, 12:37:24 AM: Now Wiley, when you make an Enterprise, you have to have pipes on it, tanks to contain fuels etc. I would also put a Pipe between the nacelles and in the middle of the pipe, have a cylinder with some glowing blue on it, in like the form of windows or something but circling the cylinder. =D

Nice Dalek.

For a moment I thought you were talking about me :D.

I like this idea of Steam ships. And making a Fed Ship like that should prove amusing. :D

How about the upper-atmosphere(not quite space)? ST:Invasion did that.

Post by: FourChan on February 25, 2009, 03:53:12 PM: Remember, Steam Punk uses a lot of Brass/Gold coloring.

Post by: Shadowknight1 on February 25, 2009, 10:45:38 PM: I still say the ship needs to be called "Highwind".

Post by: Furyofaseraph on February 25, 2009, 10:52:23 PM: Hey guys,

I got bored with this, but if someone wants to persue the concept, they have my blessings :-)

Post by: Starforce2 on February 26, 2009, 12:25:10 AM: and please do keep it on topic with modding the ship. Filling the thread with images of C3PO and Daleks is better suited to using of the graphics art forum.

Post by: FourChan on February 26, 2009, 02:16:01 AM: I found this on Youtube, might give you some more ideas on what to add upon the ship.

(If anyones interested)

Title: Re: Trek in its Steampunk form.
Post by: Dalek on February 26, 2009, 12:17:19 PM: As far as I know, its ok to highjack your own thread. I did it with Centurus once (he was trying to make an Excelsior variant) and it ended up with me being forced to eat some cookies with milk.

But to be ontopic (a bit more than everything else I've written): I would say keep going with this. Maybe make some sort of Steam Miranda. Or even better, the Steamrunner (with pipes and crystal balls)! :D Make it a literal steamer!

Post by: Furyofaseraph on February 26, 2009, 12:22:04 PM: Meh, I've just been going through a bit of a creative block recently. I'd rather work on soemthing like this for when I'm motivated to do it. Lately I've been feeling the need to get back to some TMP-era stuff. Maybe the TMP Cardies :-)

I have that problem too. You'll end up with maybe 4 or 5 ships to work with. I wish the best for your next build-ups. :)
