By the way the secondary hull is based on Azel/Atolm's TOS Liberty Class design.

Ooooohhh!!!!  I gotta go to the bathroom...
But seriously folks, I gotta go to the bathroom.

  Must say I have never been one in favor of the 4 nacelle scheme but after seeing this I'm seriously reconsidering my position.
By the way how do you:  1.  Find the time to do this kind of work.  2.  What do you use to do this kind of work?
I have been trying since SFC1 came out to find the right tools and enhance my skills but I have had no luck.

That's really, really nice. Nice to see that you looked at more than the R5 cover as reference. That render isn't even close (the R5 cover). The widenned engineering section and the saucer warp pylons should be how you have them. Again, really, really, nice, IMHO .

Hey thanks but I really didnt use anything for references its a coincidence... post a link or pic if possible. The Stress Pup and I were bouncing BB ideas around way back in my Star League WIP thread and this is what eventually evolved from that.

Well, you must have some sort of psychic (psychotic?) link with the "SFB Gods" then.

ADB hasn't released an official mini of the F-BB yet. As far as I know.  This is a fan created one (by: Mike Raper. He's one of the "minis gurus" that frequents the ADB forums.) I'm sure that you will see what I mean though about the Saucer warp and the widened engineering section. He used a modified SCS/CVA engineering hull. So, it's missing some details that are on your design. There's a description in the R section that states it uses the Saucer and the engineering section from the DNG, which was lengthened to accommodate the additional systems. In the DNG's R section it states that the DN's saucer was enlarged and the engineering section was widened with the Warp lowered like the BCH to allow the wider LS/RS saucer phaser arcs. There's a sketch of the dorsal view of it also in the R section that shows the saucer warp pylons appearing like the NCL/NCA. Not on long separate pylons like the engineering section.

Desty Nova also made  HIS F-BB  true to SFB except for the torpedo tubes, which he added to the top of the saucer to add some visual detail on game. The screenie of it doesn't show off the widened engineering hull too well, but it's there.

Well, I hadnt thought about that one, maybe I should let somebody bash it. That shouldnt be too difficult

HOLY ^$%&^%*U^&#%^@#$%&(^!!!

 

I can't even find enough obscenities to describe the über-eliteness and skill you have put into this and other ships. It looks like it came straight out of Joseph's Manual.

Anyway, one minor nit. Instead of clustering the 4 phaser banks together, why not spread them around a bit, to suggest the future phaser arrangement of the Excelsior? That wouldn't look to bad, and might give it better fire arcs.




MINOR NOTE:
I imagine the Mars' comissioning around 2267, since the Federation and other NCC-21xx vessels were about. The Transwarp project probably took 20 years, so they might've reserved the NX-2000 registry for the Excelsior back when construction first started.

Well, the model looks great, but I wouldn't quite say it's TOS. The secondary hull and neck are way too curvy, taking a page from TNG. And the top of the saucer is reminiscent of the Enterprise-E. The nacelles and deflector are really the only parts that are TOS, imho.

You might have a point about the neck. The secondary hull is supposed to be as it is in this model. It's a widened and langthened DNG hull. The saucer is supposed to be straight from the DNG which added more systems to the standard DN saucer. That could explain the raised rear section. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there's never been an accurate SFB FBB done by ADB. The one on the cover of R5 is all wrong from the few schematics and the description in the R section.

Well, the Mars that Desty Nova did is pretty good, and it looks like it'd fit in with other SFB ships.

I wasn't aware that there were schematics for the Federation battleship.

I agree, Desty's is very good and he used the SFB descriptions when he did it. To date, it's my favorite. I understand what you are saying about the extra styling touches that are on this one.

Since it's derived from the DNG it should have a forward shuttlebay like this one does. The DNG's lower warps extend horizontally from the engineering hull. Something that both of them decided to do differently on their BBs. Still, it's very nice to have some better represented Mars BBs than we've had in the past.

Now if someone would just do an SFB style CVS and HDW I'll be in hog heaven.

I agree, but the problem is there are a limited number of phaser hardpoints (7 i think) on the FBB ship systems display ingame, and the only way to get more is to use the one for the starbase. I realize that I could have some dummy phaser mounts but I dont really like that idea.

Already tried some solution to that problem out, and only going to a SB will actually work correctly. The FBB UI has 6 Phaser and 9 Heavy HarPoints.
