U.S.S. Enforcer...

[Centurus]

I've begun work on my U.S.S. Enforcer, a refit of the TMP Miranda Class.  Right now, not much is different from your regular run of the mill Miranda with the exception of the lack of the concave curve on the bottom of the saucer.  As the ship is more fleshed out, the differences will be noticeable.

Boy I sure can't wait to make an MSD for this Beauty...Good work my friend...good work!

[Dawg81]

good start got the basic shape down. I dont think anyone has ever done a modified miranda with the exception of that bassmaster ol buzz did so many years ago

[CaptainGMAN]

You have me intrigued oh master of the rubber chickens

[Centurus]

Decided to do the phaser placement and also clean up polys on the saucer as well.

[JimmyB76]

cool!  i dont think ive ever seen a Miranda-style ship with phaser arrays rather than just the phaser banks they all usually have...

[Centurus]

This Miranda refit will, hopefully, pack quite a punch.  Work is going slowly cause I'm looking over several references to see what details I should add, and what I can do without.

[King Class Scout]

I've been collecting Mirandas, and have two variants.  both of them sport modified galaxy type nacelles.  had you gotten up to the point of what engines you were gonna put on, yet?

[Centurus]

Definitely not Galaxy nacelles.  When I think of a Miranda with Galaxy nacelles, I think of the old Bassmaster made for Ol' Buzzard of the 9th fleet, of which I used to be an officer in.

Anyway, the nacelles I intend to use will be a modification of the nacelles I'm using on my U.S.S. Resurrection model, but with a different bussard design.  I like trying to mix newer tech while still keeping true to the design of the ship, changing only where I deem necessary.

[ECGadget]

sounds good! can't wait to see more

[Centurus]

Ok, I've been kinda busy today taking care of a very sick cat of mine.  But I figured I might as well post some images with lighting applied and with the warp engines I intend to use on the ship.  You can also see some very basic vent intakes, or whatever they are, that are normally found on a Miranda Class.  Gotta work on their detail still.

 hopefully your kitty will be ok...

thats exactly what i was hoping youd say

For those of you that are wondering, I will be doing away with the traditional torpedo pod and mega phasers.  Instead, the Enforcer will have twin weapons pods on either side of the rollbar.  Each pod will have a pulse phaser emitter and micro quantum and photon torpedo tubes facing forward, and a pulse phaser emitter and micro photon torpedo launcher facing aft.  In place of the old torpedo pod will be a deflector dish pod.  The ship will also have twin, mini deflector dishes as well mounted on the top of the hull, towards the aft, on either side of the bridge.

[oldmangreg]

By quantum, I guess this a post tng ship.

[Centurus]

Yep.

[Centurus]

Started on the twin mini deflectors, and the details that go around them.  Not finished yet.  I know alot of people are not gonna like what they see, but hey, this is my ship, and I like it.  :-D

[oldmangreg]

I like it. It's always refreshing to see someone take something familiar and make it different.

[Centurus]

*takes a bow*  Thanks.  I've been wanting to see if I can do this ship, almost as much as I wanted to redo the Resurrection.  Speaking of which, I'm gonna need to track down my mapper and see what's going on.

You can borrow my gun if you want. 

[Dawg81]
