Either version 1 which I think was the Wolf 359 physical model or version 3 which was seen in Sisko's ready room.

But I'll let you guys have the final say on which one should be modded!!.

I say v1, because I always liked how the little nacelles stick up over the primary hull. Also, we already have enough pods.

moed · « **Reply #244 on:** January 20, 2008, 11:24:53 PM »

I think v3 looks better but, v1 is more logical if the saucer separates and needs warp capability... so, v1 is my vote.

Nebula · « **Reply #245 on:** January 20, 2008, 11:31:10 PM »

hmm v1 with experimental saucer sep hmm interesting

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #246 on:** January 21, 2008, 12:21:14 AM »

I'd go with v3 myself, I mean yeah, we have enough pods, but those small warp engines just look weird.

Here are a few in-game screenies of the Phoenix for you people, now I'm starting work on the Melbourne. 8)

Yes, Awesome! Version 1 with the Nacelles, thats the single thing that makes the Melbourne unique.

cookie for making the Melbourne, cause your that cool! 8)

Got to agree there. I always thought the little nacelle's looked weird, sort of a scaling conflict with the bigger ones.

I don't know that tapered aft section looks pretty unique to me.

It's easier said than done, that would be two more models and additional textures to a large ship pack already. And the truth is I want to get these ship released so you can all play 'em!! 8)

Personally I didn't want to do any of them as all the melbourne variants are butt ugly.... plain and simple!!

086gf · « **Reply #251 on:** January 21, 2008, 02:09:32 PM »

I say release the regular Nebulas now and then do the 3 prototypes for a V2 pack. But thats just me though ofcourse.

Bigkap · « **Reply #252 on:** January 21, 2008, 06:45:33 PM »

Outstanding work on these Glenn. They look perfect.

I completely agree! I've always thought the Melbourne variants were as you said "butt ugly".

Nearly as ugly as the Galaxy X :lol: Which IMO takes the cake.

Glenn · « **Reply #254 on:** January 24, 2008, 11:02:16 AM »

Update time folks.

I've completed my first pass at the Melbourne model, despite being a butt ugly ship I think it's looking ok. Several changes have been made compared to the Nebula, here is a list of the changes.

1) Stretched secondary hull by about 25%, and added a hull panel above shuttlebay 2 and an aft torpedo launcher added to the spine on the secondary hull.

2) Added scaled down Nacelles and pylons, scaling about 50% to original size.

3) Dorsal saucer retextured to add extra windows which are similar in placement to the Galaxy Class.

The role of the Melbourne is a Heavy Cruiser which has been enhanced specificly for missions of Diplomacy but also proves useful as a command ship.

The Melbourne has a higher top speed and is more maneuverable than the Nebula, but a reduced photon torpedo capability which is offset by stronger phaser arrays as the ship is powered by two warp cores. this ship also has a considerably shorter sensor range than the Nebula.

Sorry if this has been a little long winded...... enjoy the pics!!

It's an ugly ship, but you make it look good.

hell man.
this looks cool (as well)^^
though ugly, she is unique

Darkthunder · « **Reply #257 on:** January 24, 2008, 11:37:04 AM »

Personally, i'd rather see a brand new "pod variant" on top of the "pylon" holding the two nacelles in place on this Nebula variant, instead of the two nacelles. Those small nacelles on such a big ship looks really bad tbh

Not knocking your work, just the design itself ;)

Jay Crimson · « **Reply #258 on:** January 24, 2008, 11:56:54 AM »

I agree that the nacelle variant is strange. Perhaps the ship was an experimental vessel for saucer seperation or a courrier of some kind?
