Hailing Chris Jones and Firesoul...
« on: February 16, 2006, 09:04:49 am »
...and anyone else who can help me get these ships. Despite MP's data in a different thread (thanks, MP), I've been unable to track down the ships I'd like, so I'm putting out the call again for anyone who has these ships or who would build them for me. Now, as you look at the schematics, I know you'll think, "there's one already like that", or "why don't you just use this one." Forgive me for being a perfectionist, but these are the ones I want, exactly as they are. Everyone loves doing minor variations on Constitutions, so please humour me. *smile*

Here's the original post.

Hi all.

I have a few ships I'd like to add to my collection, mainly Fed, from the Ships of the Starfleet manual. I already have a few very basic models of some of these ships, but I want better ones, as well as looking for the others I don't have.
If you know where good, hi-res/hi-detail models of these already exist, please let me know. If not, could someone please build them for me?

Pretty please with cherries'n'stuff?

I'm mainly looking for the heavy carriers, so here they are:

The Classic/TMP Era
Ariel-class Supercarrier (CVA):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/shuttlecarrier_ariel.jpg
This is an upsized and refined Star Trek Phase-II stufy model for a possible Enterprise. Ships of the Star Fleet made the big hull into an SFC Ark Royal-sized heavy carrier.
 
Fredrikstad-class Space Control Ship (SCS):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/shuttlecarrier_fredrikstad.jpg
A minor variation on the Ariel.
 
Chosin-class Attack carrier (NVS):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/shuttlecarrier_chosin.jpg
 
Jenshahn-class Heavy Carrier (CVL):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/shuttlecarrier_jenshahn.jpg
 
Youngblood-class Heavy Carrier (CVL+):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/shuttlecarrier_youngblood.jpg
 
Coronado-class Strike Carrier/Through-Deck Cruiser (CVS):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/thrudeckcarrier_coronado.jpg
 
Santee-class Escort Carrier (CLV):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/shuttlecarrier_santee.jpg
 
Daran-class Frigate (NCD):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/fastfrigate_daran.jpg
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/fastfrigate_brooke.jpg
I know these are Miranda-types, but these have shorter main hulls and different placement of Navigational Deflectors and warp nacelle pylons. More minor variations, but they make the ships individual.
 
Cerebus-class Long-Range Scout (NSC):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/frigate_cerebus.jpg
 
Endurance-class Light Exploratory Cruiser (NSC):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/frigate_endurance.jpg
This is a Miranda variant, but has special sensors on the nacelles and a sensor pod instead of a photon pod. I know the trend to overarm every Fed ship possible, but the Federation is primarily exploratory, and I want more science-refitted ships.
 
Knox-class Frigate (NEC):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/frigate_kiri.jpg
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/frigate_knox.jpg
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/frigate_miramichi.jpg
As above, another shortened-hull Miranda with differing placement of nacelle pylons.
 
Avenger-class Heavy Frigate (NCM):
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/heavyfrigate_sarpeidon.jpg
A slight variation of the Miranda, with a bulkier-looking photon pod and curved nacelle pylons instead of straight.
 
 
The Lost Era
Leavenworth-class Light Cruiser:
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/frigate_leavenworth.jpg
I have the one from the Excelsior packs, but it leaves me luke-warm. Can anyone make me an Excelsior-style Miranda configuration? I want a type of small secondary hull mounted under the saucer that isn't a Reliant photon pod.


I really hope you can help me out here, as the TMP-Era heavy cruiser-style carrier variants I see aren't what I like.

Thanks in advance,

Jaeih

That's weird, Toombs. I can click on the links and they show up in a seperate browser. Anyone else able to see them?

I like the look of the carriers too. I hope someone makes them...
