WIPS: New Project (Antares Class)

[Captain_Licard]

I like the work picard has put into and may i remind people, it's his concept, if he wants to put a pink texture on it, he is allowed ;)



now may i give you some tips?

I like the basic shape! The warpengines are already better than the first ones, but if you look at it, it reminds me at a xindi reptilian ship.
Try to put these warpnacelles part in the hull perhaps, on the wings for example. Like they have sank in your wings.

I was actually waiting for someone to notice that, since their were xindi serving on the enterprise J, I wanted to have a xindi influence design though I was aiming more torwards the aquatic side.

P.S. its Licard not Picard

Got Busy and decided to start another mesh. Been at it for a couple of hours, comment away

Wow, just noticed you were back!, that looks great!

[007bashir]

Looks interesting so far. See some inflence from the venture class shuttle (insurruction). I would bring the naccelles closer to the main hull.

[Toa_Kaita]

Or perhaps integrate them where they are instead of having those pylons? Thats my suggestion at least. She looks neat.

IMO that Nacelle looks like it been taken off an galaxy and placed  on this Top of the  range ship.

IMO that Nacelle looks like it been taken off an galaxy and placed on top of this strange ship.

although it may look like it, the nacceles were made at a different time and were used during one of the early phases of my NX-refit (which reminds me, ware did I put that??) The current position speeks to the boldness of the design. The standard placement types (e.g. Consitutution, Miranda, and Saber) don't really work for this design.

Not wanting to point fingers or anything... but judging by the level of detail on the rest of your models (this and the 27th Century Defiant), that Galaxy Class nacelle looks oddly "copied" from another model. Far too much detail in the nacelles compared to the rest of the ship(s).

And if you look through the nx thread, you will see these nacceles pop up on the nx refit, and I worked on that for well over a year.

What NX thread?

Please forgive me for asking this, but if they are your nacelles, why is the rest of the model(s) so relatively low quality by comparison?

[Lurok91]

What NX thread?

this one I think.  Cap and Baz worked on tng NX together...

[Captain_Licard]

Yes, the nacceles on the final version were altered from these. They were on the nx in the previous stage before the final (I think)

[Captain_Licard]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnddddd I'm back,

Sorry for the sudden "Drop off the face of the earth" act, I've been extremely busy with reality and have had very little time to model. That said, I have been working on a project here and there that is near completion but its not ready to be debuted yet. Also, due to laptop issues, I lost my data on the Calatari and Diamond Classes, so I have to cancel them. This next Project I am working on though is going to be my best work yet!!!!

[King Class Scout]

I hope that isn't a Sov...wiley beat you to the punch a LONG time ago.

[Lionus]

Not a sovereign. Way different overall shape. I'd say something slipstream capable.

[Captain_Licard]

Not a Sov, not slipstream, but it is capable of a new type of FTL...  I'll release it later this afternoon

[Captain_Licard]

I now present to you, straight from the early 26th century, the U.S.S. Odyssey NCC-71832-C
Alternate Universe Registration: I.A.S.V. Odyssey NSV-03-D

The Anteres Class starship was similar in design to the old Nova Class starships in design and size. With 7 decks, it was a warship from the start. With reinforced ablative armor, regenerative shields, experimental phasic phaser arrays, Mark 2 Phase Quantum Torpedos, and a cloaking device. The ship did not include a warp drive, rather, it had the experimental FTLX which could reach speeds far beyond standard warp drive. One other feature of note is that the ship was powered by stars, thanks to special shielding, the ship would fly 12 kilometers below the surface of a star and engage special collectors that would harness and store the star's energy.

The rest of this report is classified

Pics below,


I could use some help with the collectors, I cant figure out how the fronts should look

[WileyCoyote]

Are you sure you built that? It does not compare to your previous works. If it is built by you, the windows look a bit too big, but everything else looks ok.

[Captain_Licard]

Yes, I built it, like I said earlier, using my previous works as reference, I spent literally 6-months on this. It is my best work. The windows are big on purpose due to the ship is about the size of the nova. The modeled windows are also things like meeting rooms, captain's quarters, etc.

[007bashir]

looks very cool so far. From somewhere i know this drive concept  ;) Why dont you try some triangles like the desitny
