Ahhh, I like the class name, seems to fit. As for Star Wars having a "lock" on the name, it was a single Star Destroyer...a monster Star Destroyer as a matter of fact, and the name only fit it because it was freaking huge. Eclipse seems to fit this ship well.

Glad ya like shadow.

I've done up an Ortho schematic for anyone who wants to draw suggestions for posting. It's big!

Admit it DJ, you just named it after my awesomeness

Joking aside, I really like how this is shaping up...I hope to one day be a great modeler such as yourself

Hmmm...I'm honestly thinking that a Captain's yacht or some other kind of support craft would work well on the underside.

not to mention provide a little mvam awesomeness!

Here is what I suggest, as others have, for a docked ship. I made sure to put it forward of your sep line.

Hmm I know you've already picked a class name. But what about a Class name that reflects a species/Founding Member in the Federation? Everything is named so... Terran in the Federation, it doesn't seem right for a United Federation of Planets.

Just a suggestion, maybe for a future class perhaps?

although, Eclipse is a cool name.

Very nice, she is really shaping up.. looking forward to the textures, hoping you spend as much time on them as you did with the Galaxy 8)

Here is something I came up with. Feel free to tear it apart.

Permission to take apa-? Thanks

.

Considering the size of the Eclipse, that little shippy is quite large. If you imagine the Sovereigns yacht, and since the Eclipse is bigger than the Century which is bigger than the Sovie. then I imagine it might need taking shrinking.

Just my two cents.

FarShot · « **Reply #110 on:** March 16, 2009, 01:16:50 PM »

It's smaller now.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #111 on:** March 16, 2009, 01:39:40 PM »

I personally would like the bigger one, it seems to fit a more diplomatic/courier type role, which is what I was thinking of.

How about shortening the partition in the middle of the deflector and changing it's angle so it's perpendicular to the saucer, instead of at an angle.

I have to admit, I like the spine there. Seems like a good place to add several torpedo launchers to, BTW ;)

Btw Dj, have you put any thought into her armaments?

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #115 on:** March 19, 2009, 12:51:10 AM »

I was about to give up on saucer separation, because I couldn't find any way that I liked to do it... until I saw something Raven was working on, as well as the suggestion above.

Here's the result, which is introductory, but I'm pleased so far.

As to the armaments, i would like to do something somewhat special, but I don't want to get into detail about it right now.

As to the aero-shuttle idea. It will be a go.

FourChan · « **Reply #116 on:** March 19, 2009, 01:18:41 AM »

That looks awesome, in a way it kinda looks like a small version of the Nova Class when it separates. =)

FarShot · « **Reply #117 on:** March 19, 2009, 01:38:26 AM »

YES! He used that forked design that was in my suggestion!
+10 HP
+10 ATK
+10 DEF

AW YES HAXORZ! 8)

Funny, cause the Nova is much smaller than that... like about maybe 20 decks smaller.

I was thinking the exact same thing

Loving this ship more and more.
