So, her role is basically same as the Frankenstein fleets that went to Wolf 359?

If I were you DJ, I would reduce windows count in the second row or overally in the inner section of the saucer, they look a little bit cramped but still it's awesome

cookie !

Well it is a small ship.

FarShot · « **Reply #63 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:31:39 PM »

I would change either the name or the registry. Endeavor seems like it would be one of the first one hundred names thought up by Starfleet.

So would Enterprise. There have been examples of starfleet reusing names with a different registry. There was a Nebula class Prometheous at one point. And I don't know how many Bozeman's have been mentioned. xD

DJ, she looks amazing, and the name suits. (Also like that you are using the English spelling. I'm asuming you named it after the space shuttle, maybe? )

FarShot · « **Reply #65 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:48:56 PM »

Well, originally 1701 meant 1st ship of the 17th design, not 1701st ship commissioned by Starfleet. By that logic, it could have been only the 17th ship, assuming they only made one ship of every design. (Yeah, quite a stretch, I know. :roll)

Like the texture so far, looks great. Love what I can see of those engines.

From what I see from the pics, I think you may have the scaling wrong on the forward torp launcher though.

If you go the way of the Galaxy Class, the docking ports will be in the recessed part were that is. Judging from the size of the windows and bridge/main shuttlebay, That section should be larger to accommodate that. Sort of hard to tell without windows on that section to go by. Just the way It looks to me anyway.

Looking good DJ. Not sure of the name as a most likely a Galaxy or Nebula class ship called Endeavour was commissioned during TNG.

If this is the Galaxy's little sister perhaps call her a Stellar class starship to fit in with the Galaxy/Nebula theme and have the class names stars as some of the star names are quite beautiful and would really suit a small, beautiful explorer such as this.

Amazing Stuff as always DJ. You will have my download whenever she's ready. Same for your Damar class as well. Have a cookie!

I second that, Stellar Class, maybe USS Aldebaran? Anywho, she looks awesome so far.

This little ship is love at first sight. Imma need some heart medicine now. Seriously. Anything that resembles the magnificent Galaxy Class (except for the Nebula), I see it and my heart skips a beat.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #71 on:** July 13, 2010, 11:32:37 PM »

Here's where I'm at.

-All major surfaces are now mapped.
-Textured the back of the interhull.
-Changed the textures where the saucer meets the interhull.
-did some texturing to the top of the engines.
-textured the deflector dish
-textured the bridge area
-textures sensor arrays and thrusters.
-textured the tops of the pylons.

As for the name, right now it's more or less a placeholder. I couldn't think of anything interesting. I like the name Stellar for the class; good idea there.

As for the scaling of the torpedo area, it's on... 1 deck. This ship has about 29 usable decks, with probably 2 service decks for a total of 31.

FarShot · « **Reply #72 on:** July 14, 2010, 12:00:37 AM »

You're gonna tell us you textured the deflector but show no pics? Why so heartless?

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #73 on:** July 14, 2010, 12:12:00 AM »

Are you saying that nobody here likes the name Quadrant class?

Anyways, really love this ship DJ. Hope I can be on the list to beta. ;)

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #74 on:** July 14, 2010, 01:27:53 AM »

Lol. Quadrant is ok, though something about Stellar just struck me.

As for the deflector, it looks exactly the same as the Galaxy. I'll be sure to include a picture of it tomorrow morning.

Side 3 · « **Reply #75 on:** July 14, 2010, 01:33:19 AM »

Twenty-nine decks? Isn't that how much the Galaxy had?

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #76 on:** July 14, 2010, 01:39:56 AM »

Galaxy has 42 decks.

10 forward was on the bottom half of the saucer rim.

the bottom of the saucer is deck 14.

forward torp launcher was on deck 25.

engineering was on deck 36.

antimatter pods on deck 42.

;)

DJ, if you live in SoCal for at least a month, you'll know why Stellar would not be a good name

How about Starlifter as in the C-141. Since it was the smaller transport for it's big brother, the C-5 "Galaxy", or maybe Blazar class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazar)

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #78 on:** July 14, 2010, 02:57:10 AM »

How come?

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #79 on:** July 14, 2010, 03:36:58 AM »

It's something that um... "caucasians that live in trailer parks who happen to be clueles or ignorant" use quite a lot to describe one thing or another. Sorry, didn't want to use the WT term because it might offend some folks here. I happen to have worked with this one girl, who fit the profile above perfectly, who used the term stellar or it's abreviated form... stella'... quite liberally, and with a valley girl accent too.
