WIPS: New Project (Antares Class)
« on: January 17, 2011, 12:27:17 PM »
This ship is a concept far in from the future thats basically a 27th century defiant. Its powered entirely by quantum slipstream and has concealed weapons. Comment away.

So this ship is just after the Enterprise-J, but 2 centuries before the 29th century Wells-class Relativity. The ship might be better if it had some more curves, because it's currently a little plain. Maybe I'm just itching for more detail. :) Do you have sketches of your future Defiant-concept?

I'll add more detail, I don't have any sketches cause I created this ship from two blocks that looked like this, also, Im not sure when quantum slipstream first became common place so I'll look into a date change.

most likely within 50 years of voyagers return. They used coaxial warp as well as borg transwarp several times. You can bet all drives would have a prototype engine built within 50.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

Is that bridge module the lower engineering section of my Proteus starship?

Nope, i designed it to look similar to the Proteus, but I made that from scratch.



If it was, I would have asked for permission before even posting it on the ship.

I'm just saying that it looks really close and more detailed than the rest of the ship. If it is original, I would find a better way to make it conform to the shape of the main ship.

So I spend all night working on a defiant-styled deflector and end up using it for a spine/torpedo launcher.  :hithead:

well, band deflectors should be common by then.

That looks very nice.  I think it looks better without the extruded warp nacelles though.

I would of thought by the 27th century the Nacelles would of been built into the ship.

Very true.  The Wells class didn't appear until the 29th Century which is 200 years further from this concept.  So there isn't anything to suggest they were like that by the 27th Century.

I created this ship to help begin to fill in the gap in ship timeline. Meaning, from 26th to 28th century, we really don't have anything. I figured it was about time that changed.

Alright, added some more detailing, weapons, and a shuttlebay. This should be the final mesh.
