UFP MobileHQ Camelot
« on: September 04, 2008, 07:12:41 AM »
I love this design so much, I've decided I'll flow with it.  Prime has given me the OK to branch off from the Avalon thread...
...and this'll be our first (or second, if Avalon comes first) complete co-made ship!  Woot!  :D
I... - WE - present...  THE CAMELOT!

EDIT
A little bit was cut off on the key for the 3rd pic.
It should say "5 - Yacht Bay", you know, for the captains' and admirals' lovely yachts... :D

I'll be starting the basic model sometime this week.

Dude, the torp placements on her are too big given the size you gave to it. Pay extra attention to the deck count'n'placement and size of things one her accordingly. One thing I can say is that you'll be spending a LOT of time drawing windows on that thing.
Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by themselves.

Isn't the Excalibur pretty much like 3/4 the size of that sucker? :P

I like the name so if this ship is made, I want a version named "Lancelot" Since we already have an Excalibur lol.

I'd say Lancelot would be a ship to follow in supportive roles of Camelot (Possibly alongside the Avalon. :P)

When this ship is made, I want it to be able to launch smaller ships, like a couple of Miranda class ships or intrepid.

No offense, but this is about what FarShot wants. Plus, look at the ship comparison chart. An intrepid would take up far too much space. Ship servicing maybe (Clearly even), but to store them, and travel..

I remember some time ago one Wicked Zombie and u guys better know who he is built a mobile command ship called the diamond star class (was never ported to BC)
she was able to carry 2 defiant class ships  in her along with alot of fighters for support now would this be feasible for this design to have similar setup?

FarShot should want this to be a true mobile starbase, but I, of course, have no influence on what he wants at all.


That said, it should be more like a carrier than a flagship. The Avalon, after all, could probably handle most command tasks, and I can't imagine a government with a Federation socialist-capitalist economy, which does have its limits, spending what amounts of trillions of dollars over budget to produce something like the Camelot on a massive scale.

Camelot, therefore, not only has to be unique, but it has to be HUGE. It has to have the ability to support several frigates in its ventral docking airlocks, for example, and it also has to have much of the firepower of the Excalibur, but none of the maneuverability.

Perhaps a few defiant-clamps somewhere, that might look pretty cool (Mvam to launch, of course)

Small craft:
Peregrines
Ventures
Assorted shuttles
A new type of Delta Flyer (the Alpha Glider? Hahaha)

That would be interesting. The Centuar, hmm. bit old and cranky for a big TNG2 ship?

No. Those were just mad ideas. Although the Alpha Glider has given me an idea...

Yeah but you can't see  them latched onto the hull using SLF.

Being like a newbie and going off topic, I remember way back when I was reading a star trek comic, they had the Defiant Class Latch onto a Galaxy Class (Which would be impossible due to the inertia dampeners) turning the Defiant into a like cannon with it's pulse phasers and quantum torpedoes. That'd be an interesting mod for someone to put together using MVAM lol

I believe they modded bigger star ships for Star Fleet Command.
