Like the Saucer and especially like the warp engine design, you could put a photon launcher at the bottom of the saucer and have a really good destroyer. Never have been a fan of the lower hull on that design for the carrier version it usually is.

If you move the parts around you would have a good Consitution/excelisor crossover look too!

Post by: Kreeargh on January 11, 2011, 10:03:50 pm
I am a fan of your work but not the Ds9 design. Warp and 2ndary rules but as always i have an issue with something this time its the saucer. Not that its not sweet , It looks spot perfect. But that i am not a fan of the general design. If it were a tmp dn or con style saucer. Possable could I waist your time with a extra drawing or 2 ?
Rule the era  :angel:
I just cant see the cost effect of cutting up an excel design to do this in real fed time line.Recycle would be the goal i would think. War has its cannon fodder this design is one of many. I remember it with tmp style conie warps.

Daedalus-Class Variant, USS Republic (Ensign Kirk's first assignment):
(http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1189/federationdaedalusclass.jpg)
This next one came about as a collaboration between myself and a good mate of mine who goes by the handle of BolianAdmiral... He and I were musing on actually the Republic, and I had shocked him by the "reserved" nature of the first design, while he worked on his idea (link is posted below the actual finished idea).  Upon seeing his initial concept I said "why not" :) , so I refined the concept further to what you see here...

Icarus-Class:
(http://img547.imageshack.us/img547/3991/federationicarusclass00.jpg)
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/5255/conceptfederationicarus.jpg)

- Icarus-Class represents Starfleet's next step for the venerable Daedalus-Class for a newer starship designed for deep space exploration.  Through lessons learned from Daedalus, Icarus has proven to be more effective than its immediate predecessor in technology and endurance.    Built in small numbers, Starfleet launched these vessels as extreme long-ranged scouts, as they were constructing their next generation of starship: Constitution-Class

BolianAdmiral's initial concept:

Post by: Norsehound on January 15, 2011, 06:35:21 pm
Not wild about the 'rib' or whatever running north-south across the sphere of the Icarus class, but in all other things it does look like an excellent refinement of the Daedalus. Perhaps a refit of the Republic's ilk?

On that note, do you think the Constellation was one of these and upgraded to Constitution statistics? A lot of fans like to wildly speculate about why the Constellation had 1017- some paint it as a different class refitted to constitution configuration.

Sense of Humor Alert:

What a blatant kitbash of the existing WZ45/Atolm models!

Look at that WASTE of material with the pylons holding the third warp engine when the third warp engine could be simply held up by extending the rear fin on the main body.

Seriously....

Really, it's a nice plausible design that builds on existing Romulan tech.

Well done.

The Talis looks very much like the Romulan War-era craft that were floating around in the encyclopedia. Rather disappointed they didn't use that ship instead of bashing out an enemy green warbird (despite how awesome that warbird was, even without the bird underside).

The Volare looks interesting because it can still look like a retrofit of an earlier class... ie with new warp engines from stolen plans added to an existing hull (per Hasnen's dropped line in BoT that the Romulans Stole warp drive).

I can't ignore the perspective issues on the Imperial Hawk though, though the drawing is pretty.

Something about the Lunata and Praedo classes suggest to me that they might be Reman craft instead of Romulan vessels.

It would be really interesting Atlom if you were the designated concept artist for a game covering a potential Romulan Civil War.

The telum looks like the last visages of whatever Vulcan design hierarchy was left in the Romulans as they began their own shipbuilding program.

...or am I reading too much into a color experiment with red :D ?

I like the crest on the bow of the Sagum. Taking it further you could call it a hallmark of Reman ships in the TOS/Early TMP era. Maybe it eventually evolves into the decorations on the bow of the D'Derix.

The etching on the front face, the hammer-head appearance of the forward hull, the cylindrical bodies, greebling, and pearlescent white hull are all reminders of the Tantive IV without actually BEING the Tantive IV.

Ironic since the latest Trek move, dated pre-TOS, took inspiration from the original Star Wars in terms of pacing (and borrowing a few blaster effects for the new phasers).

I'm guessing it's either a Tech exchange between fed and rom (or perhaps someone else) or a future inter-galactic voyage ship of some sort.

Nah, the ship is 100% Federation, and she isn't that large (D'deridex, Scimitar, Dominion Battleship, Voth and many other vessels are as large or larger).  Also she is not extra-galactic.

Eh,
It always bugs me to see when anyone looks an assymetrical ship they assume it has to have something to do with the Breen, or when something is boomerang-shaped it has to have something to do with the son'a. I made my guess at a rom legacy mainly because I do see romulan details and designs in her. Assymetry isn't enough to assume that it has something to do with the Breen, and a boomerang shape isn't enough to assume it has something to do with the son'a. Purple glows or Green glows isn't enough to assume it has something to do with the Dominion or Borg respectively. Thinking like that limits your design repertoire and imagination.

I have a hard time believe either romulan or klingon empires would join the federation. Ally maybe, join no. Sona on the other hand..

That's part of what I'm saying. But this is what I'm trying to say, this has no bearing on the Star Trek. If race A has a ship who has a bunch of design elements, and one of them happens to be assymmetry, I don't think it's fair to say that any ship with asymmetry is somehow related to race A. This applies to Star Trek, Babylon 5, anything.

Atlom's stuff makes me think of the Cardassians, largely because I see some of the curves and architecture from DS9 in his details. The pylons especially.

It's a style that works well on other ships at times (like the Romulans), but only a few of his federation ships struck me as being purely federation creations.

Oddly enough, when you start to look closely at the onscreen evidence, I don't think there's an especially consistent Federation style.  There are broad generalities - generally speaking we usually expect to see a saucer, some form of secondary hull and twin nacelles, yet the specific elements vary markedly in scale and aesthetic even within the same general era, and there are marked deviations from the norm to consider too.  When it comes to the finer details like window size and shape, hull text and other marking and even coloration, there is no hard and fast rule.  Then there are details like aztecs and hull panels etc, WZ wrote a pretty good piece about that a while back which really highlighted the variations you can see in official, onscreen Fed designs.

On a personal note though, Atolm, I'm loving the Aker, and those K-Roms you posted need to be built.  (I can't volunteer though - my PC has died its final death and I only have my crappy laptop which is no good for anything.  :'()

Fed styles have always gone for grey/metal hulls, prominent Warp nacelles and bridge modules, deflectors (usually), and the rest is really era-dependent. TOS used simple shapes, TMP introduced art-deco, perfect circles, and functional machinery, TNG went organic with ellipses and TNG+ (FC and so on), introduced 'black box' elements on to the grey shapes of TNG, but keeping the organic profiles.

Now, the "scales" I see in Atlom's design keep bringing me back to the segmented hull sections on DS9 (and by extension, Cardassians as a whole). Though when arrayed as feathers I see the scheme working as Romulan/Reman designs as well. So it's odd to see them on Federaiton vessels, since no Federation ship has segmentation this way.

That "scaled" look is also very much an Atolmian thing - just the way he makes a lot of his panel designs :). I like how it looks on the Mann - it's much more gritty than most feds go, and that speaks as to the pre-TOS nature of it.

I like the coloring on this one
think I would change the coloring on the engines slightly to more match the lower hull by graying the rim right after the bussards then area with all the little notches, where the emblam starts, white

No offence Atolm. I see things wrong I guess the proof concept model reminds me of something that should have been in the the movie WallE.  :thumbsup 
That TOS Romulan Imperial Cruiser is sweet. You need to get a 3d printer and 3d your work to its total glory. Combo up your own meshes and textures would make a SWEET 3d model.
