Title: New Sabre class updated USS FERRUS
Post by: cinqnic on November 20, 2009, 06:04:58 AM
HI i thought about re doing the sabre so here it is still abit of work to be done.
The new class name it Ferrus (latin for horse shoe) ie the USS FERRUS and USS SABRE-A, will be two of the ships
please give me feed back on the design. From the design of the ship you can see it been built around the sov design line
so please let me know what you think.

The overall design is nice.  Only problem I have is with the bussards.  It looks as though they have no forward line of sight

Hm...to my knowledge there is only a word called "ferrum" and it has different meanings: One is iron and multiple others describe weapons (eg. a sword or dagger). Anyway, that's a nice design...

Gdata - it could also be said as Ferrous, but this is probably named after someone.

i looked up the name on the internet due to i didnt want to call it horse shoe class and a few web site came up with
Ferr-um" is Latin for "iron" and "ferrus" is horseshoe.

Ooo, I like that design a lot.  But I agree with F9thCenturus, you need to move the bussard collectors so they have a forward line of sight.

is that torpedo pod meant to be integrated like that? if it would be on top of a small pylon, it would make room for sensor pod variant.. unless you intend this to be single role ship.

ok that's much MUCH better :D

the torpedo pod might not stay going to rework the pod as i am not happy with it
Title: Re: New Sabre class updated USS FERRUS

very nice :) very nice indeed

if you dont mind me saying: for me the pod needs re working , like you said, to better match the rest of the ship. also i'd say the nacelles need maybe narrowing to give them more definition.

but despite these points i say AWESOME

Looks very good so far cinqnic! Would fit right in with a fleet of DJ's 25th Century ships. Nice work.

ya know, I just got an idea for that pod.

why not have it in the shape of a Frog, carrying over the horsey theme?

Nice :D though 2 things....

1. What's with the red outlines on the phaser arrays?
2. The bussard collectors and impulse engines imo need to be redder...
Title: Re: New Sabre class updated USS FERRUS
Post by: DJ Curtis on December 16, 2009, 09:12:40 AM
yeah not sure about those phaser arrays, but I like the color of the bussards and impulse engines.
Title: Re: New Sabre class updated USS FERRUS
Post by: JamesTiberiusKirk on December 16, 2009, 10:45:53 AM
I like it that way. with higher quality, i think those phaser arrays would really pop out!
Title: Re: New Sabre class updated USS FERRUS
Post by: Aramus on December 16, 2009, 11:04:37 AM
I agree with the phaser arrays, it looks a little over the top for the fed's IMHO. On the other hand the ship as a whole looks excellent. good job.
