Topic: SFB module R9 ships: F-CS, K-B10T

[FireSoul]

.. and here I am again.. trying to prepare models for a some-time-in-future release of OP+ for ships that have just been released in the SFB world. So far, I have 2 such completed models:


1- Klingon B10T Emergency BattleShip:
download: http://klingon.stasis.ca/models/klingon/fs_kb10t.zip

The Invulnerable's rear hull was destroyed in SpaceDock, leaving the Klingon fleet with a very expensive Klingon boom. The B8 was one proposal of what to do with it. The B10T was another.





2- Federation Strike Cruiser:
The Prometheus was built as a prototype for a competing design for which the well-known F-NCL War Cruisers obviously won. This ship has full-sized engines and saucer, but a smaller secondary hull resulting in a lghter ship: 5/6th move cost.

Kitbashed from LordSchtupp's Enterprise.

Have a good weekend, everyone.

Nice 

[Klingon Fanatic]

Always nice to have TMP models. Especially non-Federation ones.

Well, you shouldknow me by now..
My model-making is always part of a larger design.

If something's TOS, it's probably for a good reason. I prefer TMP.

[zerosnark]

Excellent!

Huh. I wonder what the SFB stats for that ship are. . (may have to get some new SFB products, me thinks. . .)

Hi Luc
   If I could make a suggestion that The Belknap class which is tmp fits the bill for a strike cruiser. and there is a model of it floating around on the various web sites.

[FPF-DieHard]

Excellent!

36 power and a 5/6 move cost.   I think i found my newest D5D-Killer

Perhaps I can explain differently?
In SFB, module R9, this ship was built as a prototype in Y165. There were no others and I doubt StarFleet would have updated its systems to TMP...

[Starforce2]

Mind if I use that connie kitbash?

[FireSoul]

I don't mind at all since I kitbashed it from other stuff myself.
question: what's it for?

[zerosnark]

36 power and 5/6 move cost. huh. Probably a full CC+ weapons suite to boot. huh. Good as a one-off ship.

I guess I should give ADB some money and buy the last few books. I kind of lost interest in the SSD's somewhere along the line. . .when all the BCH's became so interchangable and everyone went drone crazy. ut I keep seeing these new ships . . . I gotta get caught up! In SFC, I have become a big fan of the Fed DNL and C5.

As for the Belknap Strike Cruiser: I am a big fan of this ship. I tend to use this in the CB slot. I play the ship as a straight CB. Having two G racks gives the ship good drone kill abilities, leaving all those nasty phasers for anti-ship work. If you want to give it more of the Belknap flavor, you could give the side phasers true LS/RS arcs, considering the reduced profiles of the warp engines. . . .heck I think I am going to modify my ship list right now to do that very thing.. . . . . . .

Weapons on the Belknap in the books are fairly similar but slightly heavier than the Enterprise class. ( I think 12 phasers on the Saucer, and two right aft.. . .don't have the books handy).

[Brezgonne]

It's slightly less than a CC+'s weapons suite.

[Starforce2]

you know,   I was digging through my heap of crap on my HD and I found a TOS belknap model....

[zerosnark]

Very cool!
Is that ship (TOS Belknap) on the web anywhere?

If not. . .email may be the way!

[Age]

    What would a TMP version of the F-CS look like and weaponery?

[USS Mariner]

you know,   I was digging through my heap of crap on my HD and I found a TOS belknap model....

Didn't Anduril make one, which Atheorhaven used to make his requested "Athabaska" from?

[FireSoul]

    What would a TMP version of the F-CS look like and weaponery?

Look like? same basic shape.
Weaponry? Why would that be any different?

[J. Carney]

I'm guessing, FS, that Age was refering to what the ship originally carries and any refits that would be available beyond the standard + and G-rack refits- like the F-CAR adding a 4th pair of phasers to cover the rear arc.

[Age]

   I thought this was suppose to be a cheesy ship and I guess it will look like alll the other TMP style ships.You bottom one do look nice though.

[FireSoul]

It is a cheese ship becuase of its powercurve. 4 photons, and a certain number of ph1s, as well as .. 2 drones was it?
.. all this on a ship with a move cost of 5/6. 38 power?
.. it can go speed 30 with 25 power spent.. that leaves a lot of overhead.. in fact enough to hold all the photons, have ECM, etc. All this as early as Y165. For Y165, it's a very interesting ship. We'll have to see on the D2 how it performs, however.
