The ships name is Camelot, in theme of Arthurian names. Somehow, I can't imagine there being two of these in service at once.

As for phasers, cannons only would be suicidal in a world where beam technology exists. Star Destroyers didn't have them because, well, they didn't have beam guns, only beam sabers. Cannons are useless once you know you've missed, phasers can be corrected mid-fire. It's only logical it would be a mix of strips or circles and cannons, not only because of fighters, but point defense!


Anyway, as FarShot pointed out, I totally botched the hangar, so I spent all night fixing it! I love working on this ship that much. So here is the rebuilt hangar, it's huuuuuge.

Thanks Prime.  That works out nicely!  Now imagine that opening...

Hundreds of fighters and shuttles constantly flying in and out, flight lanes being diverted for an Intrepid class starship coming in for repair...

HOly f*** she's big! And she looks oddly pretty and aggressive at the same time.

I was just wondering, what are the chances of having a size comparision piccy of the Camelot compared to the Excalibur? The way I see it, the Excalibur will still look small but impressive next to the Cammie. And if anything, I wouldnt mind seeing the Excalibur dominated.

Okay, arcs and phaser cannons are the most popular, so I'll do a mix.  Large arcs, but few, with lots of phaser cannons, most of them broadside.

New poll coming soon, this time about fighter craft...  Post any ideas if you have some.

consider the size of the doors. where are they going to be while open in relation to the ship? swing inward/outwards? swinging outwards is out of the question IMO, inward wouldnt be so bad, but still a little plain. perhaps a collapsing mechanism. unfortunately the latter would be very difficult to do with FTech (i assume your gonna top it off with movable doors)

Good question, glad someone asked. 8)

I was thinking collapsible doors would be best, but like you said, that would be hard to do with FTech.  If someone would tell me how to do it, I'd greatly appreciate it.

But I'm not too worried about that right now - we're still in just the modeling phase.  :D

You could cheat and simply have the canons emerge through the hull. If people moan, say they are stored in a holographic buffer and are regenerated when needed, molecule by molecule. :D

For the fighter complement:

(I am guessing here)
2 Defiants
15 Arrow Class Runabouts
10 Danube Class Runabouts (some with rollbar)
Some new sort of fighter: 50-100 individual fighters
Assorted shuttles (e.g. any class that would be considered appropiate of the timeline): 50

Looks good, whats the scaling of the two front hangers? doesnt look like a galaxy would fit in for example... ? I dunno....  Why not remove the centre piece so it would suit multiple roles...  looks great so far, and i look forward to seeing the textures as for summat this big, their gonna have to be pretty empressive  8)

for the doors, perhaps a replication system similar to to the deploying of voyagers ablative armor? im not sure how it will translate to Ftech, but it sounds like simply modeling segments of the door panels to appear/disappear in sequence.

edit: perhaps something like this animation i prepared. obviously the fade thing wont work ingame...but just a theory

The whole thing opens, there shouldn't be a bar in the center.

I'm just trying to imagine different opening scenarios...nah, an opening door would never work. Could tut door slide into the wall?

1 idea for the hanger problem!,
the top half thats above the saucer could fold inwards like a flap on a card board box, and th bottom half opens like a space stations doors.
just an idea tho something i can see it doing.
just incase people dont understand what i mean iv done a pic, i hope it makes it easier to understand

?Why not a horizontal separation? The upper half opens upward, and the lower half, downwards, and acts as a runway with lights and markings. You know, like the hangar doors from the White Base.

That's pretty much what I said only better explained. :P AGH! The White Base! I completely forgot about that model!

Is it strange for me to vote no phasers? :P Instead giving her some torpedo or pulse-phaser emplacements much like a starbase? I always have the feeling that the biggest ships out there need some serious escorting because of their size and sluggyness, instead having some fixed placements.
