Definitely going to try a match without the saucer present when it's released. The secondary hull actually looks like a viable ship design on it's own (Almost) :lol:

indeed we do have a winner

Looks awesom! What about the weaponry of the sec. hull? Might give it some pulse cannons. That would be something different, as the ship would be much more agile and could handle pulse weapons much better?...

I don't want to get into detail about it right now.

fair enough. ;)
that saucer separation scheme looks pretty good, but on a more personal note I'm not sure about the pointy ends at the aft section... Still, looks great so far.

Heh. Those fins at the end of the saucer don't look out of place to me, but the sharp angles on the back of the stardrive does. Didn't the Prometheus' saucer have a ridge to circumvent this "issue"? Might be a viable option, although I'm not sure how it was solved with the Galaxy, actually...did it have a ridge like that when separated?

hey guys, i could really use some more ideas for an aeroshuttle/captain's yacht within the defined area. i've attached a pic for you to edit with your ideas.

Bigkap · « **Reply #126 on:** March 23, 2009, 06:29:43 PM »

What about something the shape you have outlined DJ? Think WW2 bomber. or Hammerhead shark. hmm hammerhead shuttle...

MarkyD · « **Reply #127 on:** March 23, 2009, 06:59:38 PM »

Since your paying allot of attention to detail on your ship mate, why not make a captains yacht / fighter.. something really tough, and self dependant almost on par say with a defiant, so your shippy is mvam but has a kick ass fighter to boot..

mabey this size, if you have the time to make it avail for mvam.. (mabey you just want a texture outline)

anyway, look forward to seeing what you decide mate 8)

heres my idea for an aeroshuttle/capt yachts, dont know if it helps tho lol

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #129 on:** March 23, 2009, 08:48:28 PM »

markyd-->hmm, probably too big. I think.

bigkap-->thanks for the pic over msn. i had to dash. a hammerhead isn't quite what i'm looking for i don't think.

Also, this ship is gonna feature a little launch-able toy. A phaser mine.... you can see it superimposed by the Pegasus' saucer.

Bigkap · « **Reply #130 on:** March 23, 2009, 09:35:11 PM »

No worries, was just playin around with the idea. I like your phaser mine idea though!

Raven Night · « **Reply #131 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:04:59 AM »

How about a mini-defiant like ship with your own unique take...

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #132 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:06:43 AM »

hmm. i rather like that.

Raven Night · « **Reply #133 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:29:26 AM »

Did you do a Valiant? I was thinking that nacelle style, a bit more stylish, perhaps a bit ovoid but fluid which you do without flaw.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #134 on:** March 24, 2009, 03:18:23 AM »

here's an update to the ship.

some changes and additions...

1. taken the boomerang shape and started construction of an mvam aeroshuttle.
2. pushed back the middle bar in the deflector.
3. added some lateral sensor arrays.
4. added forward ventral phaser strips to the drive section.
5. added for and aft torpedo launchers to the drive section.
6. reworked some mesh areas for better fit and finish.

still a long way to go.

MarkyD · « **Reply #135 on:** March 24, 2009, 05:16:21 AM »

Looking sweet, love that mine idea. very cool 8)

Shion · « **Reply #136 on:** March 24, 2009, 08:15:00 AM »

Awesome, you pushed back the deflector partition, deflector looks 100% perfect now.

antagonist · « **Reply #137 on:** March 24, 2009, 05:27:33 PM »

I actually liked the deflector prong. Heh, it's your design

Those aft torpedo launchers look a bit tacked on to me, though...can't you recess them into the main body? The same applies to the front launchers, actually, but it's less noticeable there. I'm just saying, even the Enterprise-E did have her torpedo launchers recessed into the main hull, and she's two generations behind this one

Bigkap · « **Reply #138 on:** March 24, 2009, 05:59:41 PM »

Great work DJ, I especially like the ramscoops

Phantom0981 · « **Reply #139 on:** March 24, 2009, 08:44:25 PM »

Great work! I love the deflector and nacelles. I must say that this is starting to become one of my favorite ships you have done. Definitely liking the aeroshuttle. Keep up the excellent work!
