Trek in its Steampunk form.
« 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.

Steam-Trek?  Huh, I'd better look into that.

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

Whew!  That is neat!  It has to be said now though...

They had a Steampunk Cyberman (sorry, Cybershade) in the last Christmas Special.
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

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:.

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
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

If we're going this route we need a new BC map depicting an atmosphere. heh 

(blue sky and everything)
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

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

Remember, Steam Punk uses a lot of Brass/Gold coloring.

I still say the ship needs to be called "Highwind".

Hey guys,

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

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.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D
