(Reprinted just in case this is missed in the other Enterprise G thread)

You know, I just had a really wild idea to add to the technology and wonder that is the Enterprise G:

How about a vessel, fully independent (warp capable, etc.) that fits in into the space in the primary hull. It would be somewhat horseshoe shaped (in order to "snap" into Enterprise), and serve as a support vessel for specialized missions, sort of like a flying mission module, ala the Nebula and Miranda Classes. It would have several variants, like a hospital type for disaster assistance, science labs for an extended expedition, military equipment with extra torpedos, phaser strips for border conflicts, etc.

Whatcha think?

Just thought of yet another potential use: What about a mini deployable starbase? Scenario: The Enterprise G is sent to an uncharted but scientifically interesting planet. A sudden emergency requires this Venture Class Starship to immediately deploy to the Romulan Neutral Zone. Instead of taking the whole ship, she leaves her "orbital starbase" module behind to continue studying the planet while her mothership helps quell a Romulan incursion.

And why not....
It could literally be reconfigured to almost any situation....
Maybe even a multifunction module

OK so here's the list od ships modules
1. Tactical support ship
2. Scout
3. orbital base
4. hospital ship
5. search and rescue
6. diplomatic ship
7. Fighter bay ship
8. colonial transport
9. planetary assault...Marines
what else?

Cool! Glad to see you contribute.
I thought of a few more...

Bulk transport
Large Zoological Specimen (LZS) carrier
Stealth Atmospheric Observer
Surface Semipermanent Complex

More uses anyone?

Good, good! (Azel, you readin' this?)

Holosuite/Recreational Complex

Emergency Mobile Wartime Government/Strategic Center

Habitation module for diplomatic missions to non class M planets?

Only thing I could think of that hadn't been thought of already.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #7 on:** May 12, 2004, 08:34:27 pm »

Well, we did cover a lot. Now it's off to convince Azel to sketch us some concepts...that is, if he thinks the idea is a good one to start.

i got an idea on what one would look like

just have to wait for them to put the pix up.

i was trying to make a cammand section on a saucer and i hit a button not sure what i did but u will see.

its just a thought on what one might look like

Kaenyne · « **Reply #9 on:** May 12, 2004, 09:07:11 pm »

That's something like what I had in mind. However, to fit "snugly" into Enterprise G's saucer section, it would have to be soemwhat restricted in it's actual shape.

yeah i know. like i said it was supposed to be the start of the top of a sucer i was doing and i hit some button and it twisted it up like that

Kaenyne · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2004, 09:50:58 pm »

Neat "twist" of fate though!

manitoba · « **Reply #12 on:** May 12, 2004, 11:01:32 pm »

i agree i thought when i saw it. i was thinkinking some kind of pirate ship also.

who knows if AZEL wants it its his

Kaenyne · « **Reply #13 on:** May 13, 2004, 08:15:04 am »

I think with enough perstering we can get him to sketch up something neat.

Azel · « **Reply #14 on:** May 13, 2004, 12:47:58 pm »

OK
I will not design one...case closed
I love the concept
but its not up to me
Wallace did the textures...so I have no say in the designing aspect of that
but if you guys want is sooo much build/design one
you have the ship...so do what you need to

Kaenyne · « **Reply #15 on:** May 13, 2004, 12:49:58 pm »

Gotcha.

Azel · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 2004, 12:53:39 pm »

LOL
I can built it...I think
But she would still need textures

Kaenyne · « **Reply #17 on:** May 13, 2004, 01:43:32 pm »

If you're willing...I don't want to step on any toes that is. It was just that I had a spurt of inspiration that I wanted to share with the forum folks. The Enterprise G is a wonderful design, and I thought that she was prime for another dynamic.
