Here is a TOS "Akira" style Torpedo Cruiser. Comments as always are welcome.

NX01 --> Torpedo Cruiser --> Akira Class

Only thing missing then, is a good TMP-era ship to fill out the lineage.

I could see an excelsior/connie hybrid filling that role.

Model looks very neat. Something about the simplicity of the TOS designs is always appealing.

It wouldn't stop someone from building it. Nice job on the model. I think I went a tad overboard with the torpedo bays on my TOS Akira. I was thinking about rebuilding my old TOS ships. I want to see how yours plays ingame.

Mine will be relativley simple to keep in line with TOS. Probably 6 or 8 shots from the two tubes in the pod. Standard phasers.

just a quick question shuttle bays? ;)

If you look at the third picture in the previous post (non textured model) there are two, one on each end of the secondary hulls.

Interesting...I personally just figured they were impulse engines.

Me so silly.

Looks nice.

How about some windows on the ventral saucer bulge this time around? ;)

GMunoz · « **Reply #10 on:** April 12, 2010, 02:50:17 PM »

Already there

GMunoz · « **Reply #11 on:** April 12, 2010, 06:42:27 PM »

Moving fast with this one. In-game:

Darkthunder · « **Reply #12 on:** April 12, 2010, 07:06:57 PM »

Fast is a good thing when you got most of the parts already done.

Only one critisism, and that would be the aft end of the "torpedo pod" looks a bit lacking in terms of model details. Forward end of the pod looks good just the way it is, but the aft section looks a bit... bland.

Cookie for making a good looking TOS-era Akira

Thanks Darkthunder. I agree that the back of the torp pod looks plain. I'll see what I can do with it.

Love it man. love all your TOS ships and download every one.

GMunoz · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2010, 07:10:52 AM »

DJ, many thanks and I am glad you are a fan of my TOS ships. Looks like we both have reached cookie milestones, me 50 and you 500!

Thanks again to everyone who support my TOS ship projects.

damn dude, where the hell has this been? looks spiffey

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #17 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:07:29 PM »

what I would do is put a second impulse engine on the back of the pod, TOS ships had mainly forward armaments anyway

Lionus · « **Reply #18 on:** April 13, 2010, 05:19:59 PM »

Has the class name been decided yet? If not, I suggest Masamune- or Muramasa-class..

GMunoz · « **Reply #19 on:** April 13, 2010, 05:57:49 PM »

I was going with Ticonderoga-class
