Rasitus class Federation BOP, USS Dragoon, NCC - 31337

Didnt see that come did you?

"pretty much like the klingon counterpart, quite manouverable, only forward arc but no torps whatsoever..."

I didn't expect it until i saw it when I bothered to click it. Very interesting, very neat a design...

Actually, IT LOOKS FED! This "BOP" actually does look like it could have been a Starfleet design!

Hmmmmm, overall an interesting design Mackie, but I'm not sure on the wings. They just seem far to wide to me.

IndyShark · « **Reply #12 on:** May 07, 2005, 12:23:32 am »

I like it! It is very original. Cudos to the creator for a cool design!

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #13 on:** May 07, 2005, 05:08:51 am »

I think it would make a kick azz TMP fighter.

Mackie · « **Reply #14 on:** May 07, 2005, 05:48:33 am »

thanks ya'll .... and payne, if the wings were any smaller it would look more riggedy than it already is

I like it a lot. A TMP Gun Boat. Question though, does it have warp capability? I don't see any warp engines.

it does have small warp engines, look at the sides of the neck ;p

Magnum357 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 08, 2005, 02:40:46 pm »

You mean the entire neck are is a warp engine?? Is the entire crew contained in the Forward Neck area? If it was me, and this is just my opinion, I would have put a single Warp Engine underneath the Impulse Manifold.

I see the microwarp engines.. good job Mackie.

Btw, I have two hp/dp'ed Rasitus Class SFC conversions sitting on my HD, and attached to this message. One for SFC 1 goodness, and the other for SFC 2 (and probably BC as soon as sf2 sees it)..

Can't believe that people are finding it as difficult to convert these over... this took twenty minutes for both versions for me.

SFC 2 version on the next reply..

System went down for maintenance while uploading the SFC 2 version.

Got both up to Mackie's last night.. hope that I have enough time to get the other one up before work...

Yup, and enough time to give my kid a bath as well.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #31 on:** May 11, 2005, 06:56:45 pm »

Not trying to be nit-picky but..........USS Dragoon, NCC - 31337 Isn't that registry way too high to be a TMP era BoP conterpart ? 31337 puts its production in the Ambassador era IIRC. See here for more info.......

Quote

In the 23rd century, registries with 4 digits were in use, including the famous U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 and the U.S.S. Excelsior NX- (NCC-) 2000. Finally, another digit has been added in the 24th century, as it can be seen on the hulls of Sisko's U.S.S. Saratoga NCC-31911, the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 and many more. This is why we can suppose that the registry number of a starship is at least roughly correlated with the time when it was commissioned.

http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/registries.htm

Anyway I Still think it would be a great TMP era fighter/runabout size corvette. Great lil ship.

OT: Anyone ever considered making this one ?
ARCO ATTACK SLED

Mackie · « **Reply #32 on:** May 12, 2005, 08:50:30 am »

hell dweller: exost?
modelsplease: theres a reason to that, its not exactly TMP because back then they didnt have the techonology stuff things in such a compact form, this is early "Ambassador era" usage for old outdated TMP crap, like the case with Zerstörer

im gonna refit the the ship later on as people here have refitted the constitution alots of times too and the attack sled there in the pic gives me ideas , i wont be able to kitbash it but something that reminds it ,perhaps

One theory as to how warp uniquely works on this ship (when questioned):

This assumes the warp drive on this ship is similar to a Klingon B'rel-class in how it works, meaning the "neck-nacelles" aren't actually warp engines, but something else (perhaps some kind of new nav deflector tech that was experimented with, projecting a weak forcefield around the ship like how more-traditional deflector dishes would) I believe the reactor to coexist with the fusion reactors on the impulse engines, much like how I believe it to be so for the Klingon Bird of Prey (and her Romulan look-a-like counterpart, assuming there's one), taking some design tips from the aquired Bird of Prey Kirk got. The engines are also tied to the main pulse phaser weapons (or whatever these weapons are for this Federation BoP), much like how from TMP-on the main Phaser Banks throughout the refitted Constitution-class channels its power through the main warp engines (although would be cut off if the antimatter mixture were imbalanced). My guess would be that there would be that the main warp reactor/core is connected with the main weapons, for supplying power to beef it up. My guess is that for a ship her size she'd have no more than ten-to-twelve max for crew, probably tight-fitting quarters with bunks (plus one for the CO)...

That's how I'd imagine some of the basics...

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #42 on:** May 15, 2005, 07:39:04 pm »

I agree Chris, I was thinking this ship was no bigger then a Runabout. In game a capital ship could decide to carry these but at a cost of 2 or maybe 3 shuttle slots per ship due to it's size.

pretty good stuff there... really.

1. the guns be the same as on the bops cause thats where i nicked them from, i remember someone here ran a ferengi type "dont-ask-dont-tell" shipyard... i think thats where i got those from. not quite sure. read my signature.

2. yes the CO needs a decent bunk to get it on with the hot alien chicks.

3. to be honest at first i thought id make this an in system monitor ship with no warp capability but then i thought f*ck it the sideways, and gave it those bloody small neck nacella like things... runabout style. doesnt need high warp capability or such fancy bullsh*t but least it now can move out of a system without being towed out like me from a pub on a friday night.

4. yes the ship is quite small, i did attach the comparison pic didnt i? but hey least i dont have compensate for any... other... erm, size problems like some
