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.

Can we please please please have a TOS yamato while your at it?
i have the one by TSP, but its a little outdated (no offense to him).

besides, i like to have uniformic ships (ie: all my TNG and TMP ships are p81 or p81-Kitbashes, for the most part)

Azel said it, "HOLY CRAP!"

and since you're on a roll here, ever consider an updated Star Empire?

You're cool, Schtupp.

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.

Hmmmm.. bash together a TOS Yamato...

Let me go download TSP's so that I can get an idea of how things are arranged, and I'll see what I can do..

Hey, what's this thread doing on page 2, huh?

Just look at those WIPs! These ships are TOS at their best!

Any news?

Khalee · « **Reply #36 on:** February 22, 2004, 06:27:51 am »

WAY back on page 15 Has this ship been done yet.

Bernard Guignard · « **Reply #38 on:** February 22, 2004, 08:44:59 am »

Damn I forgot about this one in all the excitement Thanks for bumping it Primus.

DeltaAssault · « **Reply #39 on:** February 22, 2004, 03:45:53 pm »

Eesh....

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.
