Yesterday I was searching through some sites with some Starship details and I have stumbled upon the one vessel that has been the one I have been dying to build. The machine that makes the heroic Enterprise look like a little dot on a piece of paper. And here it is.

I have started some work on her yesterday and I am trying to have her up before March 1st. This will be my final attempt to get her up before I sadly leave for Basic Training in the Army. But I hope to be back soon to do some more models and textures for all the SFC Fans

Good luck in basic. You should know that it's going to be REAL hard, but if you can make it through, you will look back on your time in the Army as the greatest thing you ever did in your life. I know I do.

Good luck with boot camp. Keep us posted on the construction bud.

This is a very cool idea but....um.... this thing is suppose to be very huge. So, how is it going to fit into the game? Maybe a planet?

V'ger will be the size of a planet at least. That much I have been working on since I originally did the previous attempts to design the ship. Also I have to lower the ship down a little bit so it is possible to fly over one of the six V'ger Valleys. But it is very possible to make it so it could be on the game and not be too big.

It's kind of surprising how small a role the vessel within the V'Ger complex played. They passed over it once, said a few words of awe about its size, and then nothing more was heard of it.

And how did something that was 82 AUs in diameter fit into our solar system anyway? That thing was right next to Earth when it dissipated and broke up.

Nice model though. We're gonna miss you around here.

I have no idea... But then again, it's 2 AUs in diameter in the Director's Edition of TMP. And it played a bigger role. After the oohs and aahs they went inside it and later the 2 AU-big cloud dissipated when V'Ger went near Earth and started throwing green probes at it. At the end of the movie we didn't see it again. That was a few minutes before the credits that we didn't see it.

Good job on it Will.

cool model, where are you going to basic trng?

Swordsman · « **Reply #8 on:** February 24, 2003, 03:57:26 pm »

It was 82 AUs in the original. And they only saw the ship once. I really want to see the director's cut, though. I heard the makeover was quite nice.

Swordsman · « **Reply #10 on:** February 24, 2003, 10:44:24 pm »

I was referring to the cloud, not the ship.

WillardDcker · « **Reply #11 on:** February 24, 2003, 10:50:31 pm »

They resized the cloud down to 2AU in diameter because they found out that in actuality that 82AU in diameter is equal to the length of the Sun to Pluto

Hmm i thought it was just 100KM long? i could be very wrong ofcourse...I havnt done my research just something i looked at recently...i look forward to seeing it, even if it is a scaled down version!

Anthony_Scott · « **Reply #13 on:** February 25, 2003, 08:02:47 am »

Kewl. I always thought the big screen did not do v'ger justice.

Good luck in basic...one word of advice: The Drill Seargent is always right!!!

Swordsman · « **Reply #15 on:** February 25, 2003, 04:40:17 pm »

It's beena long time since I saw the movie. I thought that they'd only overflown it on their way deeper into the cloud. I'll have to watch it again.

RipperMan · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2003, 07:34:54 am »

just thought i would add something else

I have the TMP special edition DVD..and boy..you aint seen the movie till you have seen thsi version! it managed to elevate the movie to my top 5 movies of all time..The clarity of V'ger is incredible.

ChrisJohnson · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2003, 12:25:55 pm »

Well, he's probably the only one with a plausable speculation for length, as there is none for the V'Ger vessel. There was for the cloud, at first 82 AUs, then 80 AUs was shaved off for The Director's Edition of TMP.
