This is the Earth Colony ship SS Conestoga from the Enterprise episobe Tera Nova, comments are welcome.
-
She looks great! :)
-
was this actualy seen on Screen? Musta been one I missed.
-
I always found that ship interesting. It felt like a BSG ship with ST nacelles glued to it.
Looks great though. Now we just need that ship in orbit over Earth in the ENT title sequence then that would be the Federation ENT era pretty much taken care of.
EDIT: Drex files calls it the SS Emmette.

I am thinking of making the hull a bit darker, what do you guys think?
-
one thing I'm noticing with Enterprise era ships is that they all seem to be extra-dark in the hull plate colours. seems they were using almost universally dark grey alloys.
Billz: knowing budgets, it probably WAS a BSG with spare engines tacked on.
the Emette looks a HECK of a lot like a Romulan Bird of Prey. think maybe the rommies nicked a couple that got lost, and kept the idea?
-
hey, Munzo, looks great, but could you make 2 versions, one based off of the discovery from Legacy?
-
I did not know there was one on Legacy. I used this as my reference:
-
Lol I almost thought that this is USS Sulaco :funny Conestoga misslead me :P Nice ship, I liked that design
-
(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/startrek/images/d/d5/Discovery_class.jpg)
that is legacy's Discovery class, very close to what you have
-
its great, but i would make it darker. some extremly light blue tint aswell. and maybe a bit of contrast to the lines, so the plating sticks out a little more?
-
Nice! But yeah gmunoz you think it would be possible for you to make two variants of this ship, one with and one without those bussaric collector pins and that little brown satelite dish on the side?
-
GOOOOD, nuf said :)
-
ok, made the hull plating a darker.
-
Nice.
-
Lovin' it.
-
I like it, i think that this and a few other variations should go together in a pack, the Discovery class Warship (ent Defiant) Conestoga class v1 with deflector and Conestoga v2 w/o deflector
-
she is beutiful, i knew you could do it. Sweet, cookie.
-
thats about it. great!
-
I want to say that someone else was working on this and there was discussion about a "pirate" variant with extra weapons and better hull plating (or shields).
I don't know if anyone remembers who was making it...I am glad to see that the Conestoga will not fade into nothing.

Hey Mike, an armed pirate version, now that's an intresting idea!
-
all it needs now is the Ent era "shiny" (just a touch of it, though). mabey rig a pirates version that leans to the "orion" version
-
Or reshape the front and just edit the main hull abit, and add some ENT nacelles, and Boom a Dicovery
-
Deadthunder, can you give me an example of the edits you suggest?
-
it shows the ship, with a great decription of it's weapons
-
I actually kinda like the front end of the SS Conestoga, makes the ship have a more massive and colony ship kinda look but I have to agree with the nacelles though as the pins make it seem inconsistant with most other canon ENT era vessels built by humans. ;)
-
Remember this ship is way pre ENTERPRISE. She was launched 4 years after Cochrane's initial warp flight. Also the Paramount Model (pic earlier in this thread) has them.
Anyways, here is an update:
-
I really like how this is looking so far!
I am glad you are thinking about a pirate/orion version, with a hull configuration like this...I could imagine a pretty good payload of weapons just waiting for a unsuspecting merchant.
Mike
-
I think you've got the nacelles at too steep an angle.
-
Ok folks, I sent the Conestoga off to bankruptstudios for a texture facelift. Here are the awsome results:
Any comments would be appreciated.
-
I preferred the old windows. Apart from that, thats good stuff. :)
-
amazing work..like always...
-
The earlier textures look more TOS-ish, the second ones look more ENT era. I like both!
You could release both, one as the prototype, and the other as the 'production' version with a stronger hull perhaps. (Would also explain the visual differences) And, if you do make a 'pirate' version (Perhaps by late ENT-era they're as common as the Batris type freighters) you could add extra hull plating etc.
'Course thats only IF you do a 'pirate' version.
Love it so far!
-
Doing\looking good.
-
thats very cool. great work bankrupt/gmunoz
-
I'm looking forward to this to add to my ENT fleet
-
Thanks JTK, coming from you, that means alot. We miss you in the mod department, where have you been hiding? We are going to have some texturing lined up soon, you in?
-
Does any one have any refrence shots of the legacy Discovery class that was requested?
-
here you go
-
Thanks deadthunder
