USS Holium NX-81988
« on: July 19, 2005, 06:59:11 pm »
This is a ship my friend designed back in 5th grade, believe it or not.  It has evolved since then and I take it this is the final design.  I drew these based on his last known sketches and he has approved the Dorsal but I’m still waiting to hear from him on the Ventral.  Thought I’d share them with ya.

The piece on the front of the saucer is a small craft which detaches along with the Saucer.  Basically this ship has Multi-Vector Assault mode and breaks into three ships.  The engines sticking out of the saucer's sides are Defiant like Nacelles.

The nacelles are from Starship creator, but it's definately different.

It does look pretty bulky in the pic, but it is supposed to be 700+ meters or so.

That looks very much like one of the variants of the Sovereign you could make back on the old Starship Creator game, ( minus the two Defiant-esque pods on the side and the front part). Many an hour I wasted building fleets on that game... lol.

Actually that is where the inspiration for this ship came from.  I have to make modifications to the ship though.  I need to integrate the Defiant like engines into the saucer more and the Ventral area needs to be stretched up towards the command area more.

lol I thought so. Despite the awful cut-jobs you could make in the game there were some half decent variants that would make ok models. I always wished there had been a Constitution Refit aswell as the original version to fiddle with... oh well (not that I really built anything other than the original ships that is lol)l. About integrating the engines.. maybe you could flair out the hull a bit more and make some bussards like a Steamrunner or similar...?

I sent him an email about the Steamrunner style engines, but still waiting on a response.  So far this is what I have, I think, what he wanted.
