Don't worry about him Buzz, he always get grumpy when his drawings don't get a good response...what do ya expect, he's an artist and artist are very touchy. But hey, some of his designs are too much for a lot of people here...no vision.

 
   

hehehe....  I 'm a SCIFI writter (of sorts  ) ...  hehe  trust me I know !!  Actually to tell ya the truth ...  most of his stuff is absolutely the best ..  I was just teasing him about Hydran fighters  ( I really HATE those little buggers !! )


As for being grumpy ...  NAH ....  he's cool ...  You should catch me in a "good"  mood !!!  They dont call me Olbuzzard for nothing.  (Trust me ...  the name fit like a glove for a good reason !)

Now this is potentialy useful. I'm very happy to use the Corsair for the Hydran X2 frigate. This would make a good sister ship if it is sized as something smaller than a dreadnought. Hmmm, perhaps the textures from the Corsair would be a good starting point?

Well first she needs to be modelled

Nice ships. Sure they can be Hydans with the right colors. I do think that they are beyond TNG era. Kinda pushing towards the 29th century perhaps by then the Fed/Hydran alliance might even collapse and they could be adversaries. They sure have the distinctive Azel look to them.  

One thing I have noted is that I have seen that lower pylon appear in some of your Gorn designs as well as 29th century Feds. Though I believe that  might be likely, as design does not happen iinside a bubble. For example, notice how when a car mfg makes a hatchback, in a couple years there are 4 manufacturers all making a hatchback that has a similar body style. Same with SUV's.  So after a few cenuturies(or less), I could see races starting to borrow from one another so to speak.

Another point and it may not be commom. But I think TMP Hydran designs and Dominion TNG designs are similar.
Dominion ships could almost be TNG era Hydrans with the right texture scheme. They both share a long streamline hull in classes above FF I mean. Though the Dominions hull tends to be wider. Then the Nacels have a similar shape and placement.

Thanks mate!!!
In truth...I just like Keels  
no seriously though, I agree with that concept...it makes tons of sense especially when looking at it in real world  terms

Now that's a thought....
