I figured I'd try my hand at making a ship from scratch. here's my first attempt.

It probably would have been better for you to at least explain what you were aiming for, I'm dunno what that is.....

Victory · « **Reply #2 on:** June 01, 2005, 12:55:41 pm »

it'll be a TMP style ship, a possible varriant to the Excelsior. The picture I posted kinda looks cardassian, I realized after staring at it for a while, but it'll end up eventually be federation

It's a decent start. The half saucer idea is interesting.

It does look Cardassian. why not try to make it one ? If ya don't like how it turns out ya can always go back to your original idea.

Hehe, looks like a Hutet.....

I don't ever recall anyone ever doing TMP reditions of Cardassina ships. You may have inadvertely stumbled onto something here.

I've been away for some time with family problems, expect some updates on this ship comming in the next few weeks.

Did you get my email about my updated tutorial?

Victory · « **Reply #10 on:** June 18, 2005, 11:05:29 am »

I did, but I haven't had a chance to look at it as I'm on a public computer at the moment. Once I get myself back online with my PC, then we'll be in business.

Time to bring this ship out of the mothballs. This is the ship I've now renamed as the USS Scotty. I have finally got the time to work on this ship again.

I like the nacelles. Very interesting design, and very detailed from the looks of it. It looks as if the ship is to be some type of carrier or transport, but I could be wrong.

Mr_Tricorder · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2005, 09:22:04 am »

Excellent! I really like the nacelles too, and I agree that it does look like a TMP transport. However, since you're naming it USS Scotty, you could make it an engineering or repair ship, kind of like the repair ship from Armada II.

Victory · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2005, 09:58:16 am »

the original design was for a carrier with a through-deck hanger, but I had to rebuild the entire mesh when I started over so I never put the hanger back on. I may release a second carrier version of this still, but that'll come later.

Yea they look like they took their inspiration from the 'lost' Enterprise from the cancelled 70's tv series. Intriguing... perhaps you could develop a variant with a full saucer to be an Excelsior style test bed from that middle TOS-TMP era... think of it... if the design and development/R&D process is anything like todays aerospace or marine industry they'd need to operationally evaluate some of the ideas of the Excelsior before integration on the full prototype... Its an idea anyhooo.

Ya know the more I stare at it the more I like it. I think it would make a GREAT TOS to TMP carrier.

Keep up the good work looking forward to the final product

Victory · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2005, 08:43:18 pm »

Ok, things are moving slowly for me as my work is busting my ass. However we have finally come up with a more fitting name for her.. The USS Scotty just didn't ever sit well with me.. The new name will be the USS J. D. Canarvin. J. D. obviously is for James Doohan, and Canarvin is one of his character names from a different series. the texturing is going slowly, but I should hope to post update pictures soon.

Greenvalv · « **Reply #23 on:** August 09, 2005, 05:27:30 pm »

Hmmm, it's gotten interesting looking....

Starforce2 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 09, 2005, 11:50:10 pm »

even if it wasn't tmp cardie...there are so few of them nobody would care what timeline it was for.
