What u all think? right now she is about 6k in size. hoping to finish her up after i finish the blood wolf :)
-
Nice mesh. I like the overall shape of it. Particularly like the nacels.
-
looking sweet TUS cant wait till u get her clothes on
-
Very nice design. It incorporates design elements from various classes of ships, and does so very nicely. What era do you plan to put this in?
-
absolutely no clue, pretty sure it will be tng or later, but i really don't know lol

I don't know...with the round saucer and the Excelsior-style design elements, you could say that it is a contemporary of the Excelsior-B design...perhaps even a competative design for the Excelsior-B contract...Starfleet ended up going with the Excelsior-B design that we have all seen, and this prototype vessel was the only one of it's kind built...in fact, if you wanted to add a little SFB flavor to it, you could say that Starfleet decided to have the vessel completed as a heavy fighter carrier, with six F-111's on semi-external links/pads, three to each side of the spine...

This reminds me more of a design between the 2360s and 2370s based on the Excelsior-class. This could well be a second Excelsior that bears said name, but not necessarily first in her class or a refit. I'm mostly basing this on the preservation of the Excelsior-class while beautifully-incorporating designs from other class of ships, if only one or two others though. The nacelles are unique but you can say they're somewhat of an "upgrade" of nacelles from, say, the Cheyenne-class as I'm half-reminded of. I'm also partially-reminded of the Akira-class's engines, albeit less Galaxy-class-ish and smaller. I'd say it's probably a 2360s ship, if TNG-era. Overall a nice design, and I think it has potential to be a TNG ship that can have a variant or two, like a carrier as suggested, for example.
So basically I'm expressing thoughts out loud whilst praising. *shrug* Good work.

you've just re-engeneered one of starlfeets most succesfull ships for the post nemisis timeline. It rocks.
-
Nice :D Abit reminds me Excelsior style. Maybe it is abit excelsiorish but also Trek Futuristic ;D
-
not only that but it actualy makes sense to bring back ssuch a succesfull design using new tech. Finish it quickly so I may blow it to smitherines! ;D

Ya know bud .. though we might dissagree from time to time .... I think you maybe on to something here !!
in any case .... how ever classified .. this is EXCELLENT !
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Wow, good stuff.
Can I ask though are you planning to leave the saucer as is? would be nice to have it more rounded.
I like it :)
-
i haven't assigned smoothing groups yet (only gave a generic smooth) so the really hard edges will be gone when thats taken care of
-
I'm curious, that depression on the dorsal drive hull, that for fitting some kind of mission specific module or?? What is the purpose of having it there, it is the only slightly odd thing about the ship.
-
you mean the cut out on top of the secondary hull, don't know, thought it looked good ;). but that mission specific module sounds like somthing to go there ;) lol

Maybe a carrier deck? Maybe a carrier module or cargo module, or even a ship transport platform for ships that may be hull breached.

It's gonna be a beauty indeed !!!!!

Just FYI. *shrug* In any case, I think when it's done, Tus's first Starfleet ship will be appealing to many.
-
lol, only problem is that i have to finish the blood wolf first... at this rate it should take me 2 more weekends
This one is going to be alot of fun when it comes time to texture :)
-
meshing done (besides deflectors and unless i notice somthing glaringly obvious missing) she is sitting right now a 6.8 k, should be able to drop her to 4k with out to much detail loss. still not sure where she will fit in (i'm not good at the timeline thing) but i'm i'm still leaning toward tng/post tng(somwhere in there)
-
Looking hot !!!!! I PM'ed ya a new history Tus. Hope that one works better for ya.
-MP
-
BUMPAGE ;D
-
I like it ;)
-
Nice ship ya have growing there dude :) keep her up ;D
-
BUMP for an update
-
its prett much done, just on hold till i get time to texture it (still have to finish one project) i think i might be able to start it in 2 weeks depending on when i finsih up the BW
-
Coolness, looking forward to this one.
-
btw, here is the history MP did up :)
Majestic Class
During the Dominion War, the Advanced Starship Design Bureau, Starfleet Tactical, and design and construction teams at shipyards throughout the Federation concentrated on designing and constructing new starships for the war effort. Consequently, the construction of new explorers was significantly curtailed, or suspended, in favor of producing large numbers of Defiant, Akira, and other starship classes that could be used as warships. Also during this period, starships assigned to Exploration Command were re-assigned and used as front-line battleships or were pressed into service as scouts to provide battlefield intelligence and reconnaissance. When the war was over, Starfleet began to inventory and assess its total fleet strength. Statistics showed that the number of explorers and science ships lost during the war was double that other starship types.
In February of 2375, Galaxy Exploration Command transmitted a request for proposal to all design bureaus and fleet yards throughout the Federation for a new medium class explorer that could support upcoming exploration projects and missions. Exploration Command made this decision after it extensively inventoried and reviewed the suitability of the remaining Excelsior- and Ambassador-class explorers still operating in the fleet and the age andcondition of their spaceframes. After reviewing the proposals transmitted back from the Advanced Starship Design Bureau and others, Exploration Command selected a proposal submitted by Antares Fleet Yards for a medium-sized explorer based onthe experimental U.S.S. Hyperion NX-86997 project.
The U.S.S. Hyperion was constructed at Antares Fleet Yards to serve as an experimental systems evaluation prototype for a new class of heavy quantum torpedo cruisers or "battlecruisers." The goals of the Hyperion-class were to create a starship with the offensive firepower of the Achilles-class combined with the speed, agility, and maneuverability of the Intrepid-class derived Yeager-class, in a medium-sized explorer platform. Like the Achilles-class, the Hyperion class was intended to attack and destroy heavily defended shipyards, Ketracel White factories, and Jem'Hadar hatcheries, but with greater range, greater time between fleet replenishment, and longer deployment schedules than the Achilles-class. With the end of the war in 2375, development of the Hyperion-class was cancelled and the prototype mothballed with the intention of using it as a future technologies test platform.
Antares Fleet Yards proposed to Exploration Command that the Hyperion-class prototype would be an excellent choice as the starting point for a new class of medium-sized explorers, and the U.S.S. Hyperion spaceframe was used to test and evaluate the Borg-derived technology that was ultimately deployed in the Majestic-class. The lead ship of this class, U.S.S. Majestic NCC-87001, is named in memory of the Miranda-class U.S.S. Majestic NCC-31060, which was lost with all hands during the battle to retake Deep Space Nine (Operation Return) in 2374. Use of the name Majestic also has along history and tradition in Starfleet and in the British Royal Navy, with many famous vessels bearing this name

It's a nice story, but it doesn't click with me, knowing the lineage of the design being too early-TNG to be of influence. But that's just me. It's a nice ship design nevertheless, I still like it.
