That does look a little better balanced. I agree with Moed, angle the rear of the nacelles to give it more of an Ent/TOS feel.

like it was befor you mean?
hmm ok guys

moed · « **Reply #382 on:** May 15, 2013, 05:36:15 PM »

It had angles in the rear of the nacelles before? Obviously I'd forgotten

Yes

putting the angles back would be nice... and the longer nacelles make it look even better.

BTW, got a name for this starship class yet?

nope as i mentioned in past its my take on the nx01

any sugestions on what to do with it? keep it as the nx01 H-Class or have it as some other class and era?

Keep it ent era but call it hobbs class or somthing, don't have it referencing the NX-01 at all, by all means keep S.S Hobbs NX - 255 or somthing

- but damn work man, its getting better, sorry i didn't get onto skype to help you but i have more accsess to my daughter and well, u can guess the rest

Maybe it could be a Romulan War ship.

andyp · « **Reply #386 on:** May 16, 2013, 03:41:30 PM »

well its not the NX class, nor is it the NX era. i would say its like a 1950s / 60s take on the nx class then re-imagined, if that makes sense.

Vortex · « **Reply #387 on:** May 16, 2013, 03:44:48 PM »

Andy, I think that was the intent. It would certainly fit.

i understand dude

no probs... am glad you have more time with her... im missing my boy and its not even been a full week but my cars defunct and im out of work so no van to use so cant have him at mine this weekend

interesting... maybe i'll make it:

launched 2158 two years before the end of the Romulan-Earth war, the ship is based on a previous design and has superior manoeuvrability than the new starfleet vessels utilising the primary/secondary hull design. Through advances in sensor, warp core and nacelle design the ship has sufficient power for its role as a fast scout class vessel. The NX-266 (my son was born 26/6/10) was armed with three ventrally deployable phasecannons (2 were able to fire in a 90 degree arc fore and 1 in a 90 degree aft) and four torpedo tubes (2fore/2aft) and defended by the new shield system recently developed by starfleet.

lol my goodness some of you guys really have an issue with the 1960's design style... all i was doing was trying to show my version of the nx01 and that it could still be "sleek" using the constitution style saucer shape ie the slope going \ on the rim. my only issue with the nx01 was it fits better is looks at the opposite end of the design linage. im almost sorry i bothered doing this thing lol

Vortex · « **Reply #389 on:** May 16, 2013, 04:10:22 PM »

No problem with the style. It does fit pre TOS if it hadn't have been made 30 odd years after the 60's. :p It's still a great looking ship.

attempting to do the textures... and tried to do a specular map
i did it and with help form you tube and pheonix managed to figure out texturing in 3dsmax and got the specular applied.... still needs work

and a shot i like (note: bussards are wrong due to me doing the glow wrong lol)

something about the windows is bugging me they look more like stretched circles, from what we've seen the longer windows are more half circle straight half circle. unless you meant to do it this way.

Toa_Kaita · « **Reply #398 on:** May 21, 2013, 01:15:00 AM »

I concur with AndyP, but otherwise I'd say this is your best work yet! Keep it up!

hobbs · « **Reply #399 on:** May 21, 2013, 02:59:16 PM »
