Thanks Starforce, that carrier design is awsome. The TAS shuttle chart will certainly come in handy.

New fighter, "Lightning"

Looks like heavy fighter/bomber to me, great work ;)

My thought as well as far as a heavy fighter bomber. I think it fits better tan the Penguin fighter which is a pre-tos design.

Glad you like it.

Hear is an update on the Lightning fighter and some background:

The class was designed during the Klingon War by an engineer who was fascinated by the fighters of WW II, but stayed on the drawing board as it was thought to be somewhat of a novelty. But as the war progressed Starfleet Command put out a request for a new fighter to escort landing hoppers in battles where transporters could not be used due to dampening fields. Due to the urgent need for a fighter and the Lightning's other wise sound design, it was dusted off and put straight into production. It did not take long to realize the ship was all so useful as an interceptor and an assault fighter due to its relatively heavy armament and shielding. The novelty had become an extremely effective fighter so much that it is still in use today by many starbases and in planetary defence forces.

P-38 Lightning?
That WWII fighter?

any way, maybe a nose cannon, like on the P-38
and bombs using the pulse function under the wings?
and rockets instead of micro torps?

I bet a group of these could bite holes in a D-7. She looks like a quick moving beast! I LOVE IT!

hey, deadthunder, you got that P38 pic in wallpaper size?

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #31 on:** January 21, 2010, 09:34:39 PM »

no, i will check airliners for one like it though

Edit

Such a beautiful aircraft! Wise to base a fighter in space off of it.

For the P-38 to ST coversion here is how id do it, the main pyons would be warp engines of course, Id leave the 4 gun emplacements but make them Phaser Cannons instead

The warp Nacelles would be TOS styled of course lol. the Rear wing would be elevated a bit and a torp launcher on each side of the rear wing for forward and aft torp firing but spaced so they dont fire into the backside of the cockpit but thats just my idea

I'd start looking around if I were you. some people have allready converted prop aircraft to starfleet fighters. if FoaS was around, he could point you to some I've seen for that other Trek game that gets modded a lot.

besides, the largest bombers are probably shorter than the diameter of the tiniest warp nacelle

ENT Engines? I would think that the TOS cylindrical engines would be much more appropriate. Nonetheless, you can post the model with each one. But I think the TOS engines would be better.

Here is the final version:

That design just works for me. I could easily see them throwing that in later seasons of Ent as a background vessel or something. Very nice. +krama

The father of the Peregrine class fighter, if you wonna call it that. Time to sink some D7's in the Neutral Zone!
