Ok... over the last few days the Andor-Class Missile/Torpedo Cruiser has been making alot of noise in the Forums

So I'd thought I would Take a crack at putting my 2 cents in...so I decided to try a TNG version of this ship

This is what I have so far,\
Hope you enjoy

Top view

This is a side view, but without the nacelle and is showing the interior side of the cattamarang style hulll
the bold black lines are the outline of the ship in relation to the cattamarang style hulll:

and the front View

Hrmmm. Honestly, I dont like the saucer. It seems too tall from the front and sides. Top view looks ok...

Overall, tho, it's a fine kinda prototype TNG Andor to build on...

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #2 on:** August 26, 2003, 04:41:57 pm »

I agree with Arachne; I would prefer a saucer that is not as 'tall'. However, overall, it clearly shows its design lineage. Well done!

LMAO

You have seen the original version right???
http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/cruiser_andor.jpg

I tried to sleek out the design heavily...without losing its identity

It was designed by Andorians(in case anyone didn't know

)
Mine was built by Atolmians...lol
j/k

OH...before I forget...
I need a free modeller(one of you guys who is not doing anything right now)
I would like if at all possible to have this ship modelled please
we can do it as a collaborated effort if you like

Thanks everyone in advance

Looks very cool, definetly shows the FASA Andorian design lineage, though I must agree with KF and Arachne about the saucer. Will this one have your hand-drawn textures when done or will it be like the Titan and be a fed grey?

Reverend · « **Reply #6 on:** August 26, 2003, 06:55:10 pm »

it going to be a good one- the original design was a wild one even... can't wait to see it in form... yeah, Atolm!

Reverend · « **Reply #7 on:** August 26, 2003, 06:57:42 pm »

Wonder if this amuses anyone... the more I look at the old one, and this new one in production.... it looks more and more like the Thurfir Class's big brother... ha ha ha ha!!

"... Atolmians..."

Ha ha ha, too.

I like it, and I have to be honest, I like the tall saucer too! I prefer to think of it as the top of a sphere, in my opinion it makes more sense for space travel. I hope something can come of this design.

Rod O'neal · « **Reply #10 on:** August 26, 2003, 09:40:49 pm »

I like the saucer too. A lot actually. Looking at the side shot in color there's lots of detail. different levels, angles, shapes, etc... I like moving the "sponsons" back off the saucer too, compared to the original. The saucer looks more TNG, that's all.

Mackie · « **Reply #11 on:** August 26, 2003, 11:13:40 pm »

yep, SAUCER GOOD

Smiley · « **Reply #12 on:** August 27, 2003, 03:31:47 am »

I like the TNG deisgn, not overly keen on the colours though. I think that the profile of the saucer fits in well with other TNG era designs, personally I would be tempted to make the saucer less circular and more elliptical, hehe.
Thin saucers are so passe now, can you think of a TNG ship with a thin saucer? Therefore, it stands to reason that a TNG remake such as this should have a saucer just as Azel has envisioned it here.

Captain KoraH · « **Reply #13 on:** August 27, 2003, 12:12:27 pm »

I think the shape of the ship is great, it's the colors I'm not too keen on. The tall saucer is very nie IMO.

If we can get both a "Normal fed textures" version along with any "Atolm" textures, I'll make the ship. Someone elese will have to texture it though. Maybe WZ can spare some time?

Anthony_Scott · « **Reply #14 on:** August 27, 2003, 01:23:21 pm »

Pretty cool so far..although i agree about the saucer but still....better than what i could do!

Semper Fi, Carry On.

Azel · « **Reply #15 on:** August 27, 2003, 03:57:05 pm »

Nice!!!
Some possible Takers to model her
Hey Korah, How about You and Smiley get together and do the ship???
I wanted this to be a joint effort...so please??

And here's another Idea(just throwing it out there for some responses)
How's about the signage of the ship be in Andorian (like that Belknap class
that had Vulcan signage...the Raan was it???)
Also I may have a new version of the nacelle placement...look at this:

instead of side by side...how about vertical...and connected in different points???
Just another Idea

Smiley · « **Reply #16 on:** August 27, 2003, 04:02:50 pm »

Sure, I'd texture it! It would be fun, especially with your detailed drawings to base them on

Azel · « **Reply #17 on:** August 27, 2003, 04:05:48 pm »

WoW!!!
Thanks MAN!!!
Hell if Korah won't tackle her with you...I would be honored sir
