Nice mesh. I like the overall shape of it. Particularly like the nacels.

looking sweet TUS cant wait till u get her clothes on

Very nice design. It incorporates design elements from various classes of ships, and does so very nicely. What era do you plan to put this in?

Tus-XC · « **Reply #4 on:** February 04, 2005, 11:48:45 pm »

absolutely no clue, pretty sure it will be tng or later, but i really don't know lol

I don't know...with the round saucer and the Excelsior-style design elements, you could say that it is a contemporary of the Excelsior-B design...perhaps even a competative design for the Excelsior-B contract...Starfleet ended up going with the Excelsior-B design that we have all seen, and this prototype vessel was the only one of it's kind built...in fact, if you wanted to add a little SFB flavor to it, you could say that Starfleet decided to have the vessel completed as a heavy fighter carrier, with six F-111's on semi-external links/pads, three to each side of the spine...

This reminds me more of a design between the 2360s and 2370s based on the Excelsior-class. This could well be a second Excelsior that bears said name, but not necessarily first in her class or a refit. I'm mostly basing this on the preservation of the Excelsior-class while beautifully-incorporating designs from other class of ships, if only one or two others though. The nacelles are unique but you can say they're somewhat of an "upgrade" of nacelles from, say, the Cheyenne-class as I'm half-reminded of. I'm also partially-reminded of the Akira-class's engines, albeit less Galaxy-class-ish and smaller. I'd say it's probably a 2360s ship, if TNG-era. Overall a nice design, and I think it has potential to be a TNG ship that can have a variant or two, like a carrier as suggested, for example.

So basically I'm expressing thoughts out loud whilst praising. *shrug* Good work.

you've just re-engeneered one of starlfeets most succesfull ships for the post nemisis timeline. It rocks.

Sapharite · « **Reply #8 on:** February 05, 2005, 07:49:08 am »

Nice

Abit reminds me Excelsior style. Maybe it is abit excelsiorish but also Trek Futuristic

Starforce2 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 05, 2005, 10:23:31 am »

not only that but it actualy makes sense to bring back ssuch a succesfull design using new tech. Finish it quickly so I may blow it to smitherines!

Ya know bud .. though we might dissagree from time to time .... I think you maybe on to something here !!

Wow, good stuff.
Can I ask though are you planning to leave the saucer as is? would be nice to have it more rounded.

I like it

Tus-XC · « **Reply #12 on:** February 05, 2005, 11:58:22 am »

i haven't assigned smoothing groups yet (only gave a generic smooth) so the really hard edges will be gone when thats taken care of

Starforce2 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2005, 12:52:20 pm »

I'm curious, that depression on the dorsal drive hull, that for fitting some kind of mission specific module or?? What is the purpose of having it there, it is the only slightly odd thing about the ship.

Tus-XC · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2005, 01:19:16 pm »

you mean the cut out on top of the secondary hull, don't know, thought it looked good

. but that mission specific module sounds like somthing to go there

lol

Maybe a carrier deck? Maybe a carrier module or cargo module, or even a ship transport platform for ships that may be hull breached.

Advanced Starship Design Bureau's interpretation of the Wambundu-class Starship

Jason Simpson's interpretation of the Wandumbu-class Starship (Shipschematics.net)

Just FYI. *shrug* In any case, I think when it's done, Tus's first Starfleet ship will be appealing to many.

Tus-XC · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2005, 05:34:39 pm »

lol, only problem is that i have to finish the blood wolf first... at this rate it should take me 2 more weekends

This one is going to be alot of fun when it comes time to texture

Tus-XC · « **Reply #19 on:** February 05, 2005, 10:33:39 pm »

meshing done (besides deflectors and unless i notice somthing glaringly obvious missing) she is sitting right now a 6.8 k, should be able to drop her to 4k with out to much detail loss. still not sure where she will fit in (i'm not good at the timeline thing) but i'm i'm still leaning toward tng/post tng(somwhere in there)
