Shuttle concept
« on: July 17, 2010, 08:10:44 PM »
Just a little something I was inspired to draw up. A long while ago I spoke with Raven about using his SFMC badge and concept. I might have to get in touch to see if he's still cool with that, as I designed this partially with ship boarding in mind.

I've always loved the Type 7 design, as well as the trusty Type-6, so that's where some of the design comes from (If you couldn't tell  :funny) As far as complement goes, I'm considering 3 or 4 phaser strips (1 each side, and one or two on the ventral.) And 1 or 2 torpedo tubes. She's only a shuttle, so max warp speed will be severely limited (As in, it wouldn't keep up with the Sacagawea).

As always, C&C is welcomed and encouraged.

how many times do I have to explain, it's a Bussard collector, not a Buzzard collector.  They are hydrogen collectors named for the physicist who theorized them, not devices designed to collect vultures. lol :P

rant asside, it's a cool design

Aye, normally I think I get it right, but sometimes my brain just shuts off.  :funny What's worse is I have an Ent-D MSD poster on my far wall, and I disregarded it.  :doh:

Hah, now why didn't I think of that?  :doh:

I think I might lengthen it a little though, just to give more of a feeling that it can carry a strike team. Right now I think it looks a little too cramped.

It all depends on how big of a strike team you wish it to carry.  Galileo from Star Trek V would be a good example for carrying a small strike team.

That's the first thing I thought of when I see your shuttle.  It reminds me of an updated version of that class of shuttlecraft.

Y'know, that's actually a great help. :P I think I'm almost ready to put it on the "To model" list.
