Title: Coming soon... USS Decatur, Bartlet, Emancipation, Sagan
Post by: DeepThought on January 28, 2009, 01:13:43 pm

Greetings all,

Got some errors fixed on my kitbash of the USS Decatur.  It and its sister ships should be ready for D/L in a day or two.   Decided instead of making a lot of alternate registries, to make a few variants instead:

USS Bartlet NCC-2508... another "pathfinder" vessel and precursor to the Belknap-class, with different nacelles.

USS Emancipation NCC-2519...  a light dreadnought and precursor to the Ascension-class.

And finally... because I always wanted to know what it would look like, a TOS version of the Oberth, the USS Sagan NCC-498...

I still have some textures to fix.  I'll post an update and links when they're online....

Wow! Smart work on everything. There's not a thing that's "fanboy-ish" or ridiculious. All of it fits in the TOS scheme of things.

I'd love to see all four of those ships in the OP+ Shiplist someday.

The Decatur would be a great model for the F-CS
The Bartlett could be used for the F-CS+
The Emancipation would make a good DNL (I really don't like the shape of the saucer on the one that's in there now)
and I don't believe we have a model for the F-SC, Sagan would fit well.

Those look like WZ's Gettysburg engines on the Bartlet.

They are... the "WZ-32" model.  He had them on his site for one's bashing pleasure.

Oh yeah.  I had forgotten he had them available for kitbashing purposes.  They're the same warp engines.

Very nice use of them.  I've tried for years to think of a use for them.  You beat me to the punch.

you should put some intercoolers on the pylons because the pylons look bare otherwise.

You know, I struggled with that, actually.  I tried intercoolers on the ones with the TOS nacelles and couldn't get them to look right.  Something to do with the whacked out angle of the pylon.  I think they look better on the Bartlet, with its more TMP styling.

I hate that Bartlet. Hate where the Ascension class and a few other designs mate the pylons with the under of the aft hull. Hate it.

Now those other ships you have lister there are awesome! OMGosh I may use that light dread for the FDNL in sfcop. Nice job!

I've always loved the Beklnap and it's low-slung warp engines, so I really like your Bartlet variant and your FDNL

Thanks.  I need to edit some hard points on the Bartlet, then she'll be ready to post.
