Here is another of Atolm's designs that I am working on. The textures are not finished but the model is coming along nicely.

what era?

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #2 on:** November 04, 2006, 08:47:25 pm »

Looking good

pepperman · « **Reply #3 on:** November 04, 2006, 09:51:46 pm »

Tried a modification to the rear of the ship. Don't know if I will keep it or not.

Starforce2 · « **Reply #4 on:** November 04, 2006, 11:27:25 pm »

I think it looks better without the whole. What time period does this ship belong too? Nacelles make it seem like an older ship.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #5 on:** November 04, 2006, 11:31:48 pm »

Yeah forget the modification. Lose the hole.

Raven Night · « **Reply #6 on:** November 05, 2006, 12:29:14 am »

I think it is a fantastic design, is this TMP era or TNG? It definitely shows his talent. I would say lose the hole, but I would like to hear what Atolm thinks.

pepperman · « **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2006, 12:29:47 pm »

I will let Atolm address the era question as I just modeled it based on the image he posted here a while back:

The hole was my idea. I thought it looked rather plain so I was trying to see how it would look with a little twist.

pepperman · « **Reply #8 on:** November 05, 2006, 07:02:50 pm »

Okay..okay...lost the hole.

How about some taper on the top with some curvature on the ventral side and limit the impulse engine to the top of the wings only? Like this.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #9 on:** November 05, 2006, 08:59:28 pm »

That looks pretty cool.

Tus-XC · « **Reply #10 on:** November 05, 2006, 10:27:16 pm »

good work, my advice, looks a bit to flat. maybe try to make the top wings sweep downward?

pepperman · « **Reply #11 on:** November 07, 2006, 07:52:12 pm »

Tus,

Hum...I tried the wings sweeping upward but haven't gotten to the downward look yet.

Tus-XC · « **Reply #12 on:** November 08, 2006, 12:02:54 am »

that looks alot better than it being flat

Don Karnage · « **Reply #13 on:** November 08, 2006, 10:11:02 am »

what class is it?, a heavy cruiser or a battlecruiser?

pepperman · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2006, 07:54:55 pm »

not sure what class or what era...cruiser maybe.

For those that like downward sweeping wings.

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2006, 11:15:21 pm »

With those nacelles ........ it looks late TOS to TMP. And I'm not sure I like ANY sweep on the wings. But that's just me

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #16 on:** November 09, 2006, 06:30:54 pm »

I say downward definately...It has that subtle slope...you did it just right
The ship is actually supposed to be a TNG CA. So i guess the Nacelles should be squared off some...or just more ovicular :/

Mr_Tricorder · « **Reply #17 on:** November 10, 2006, 06:07:16 pm »

This model looks like it's coming along really well. The necelles seem to indicate TMP era. Keep up the good work.

Rod ONeal · « **Reply #18 on:** November 10, 2006, 08:51:46 pm »

Swept down, me thinks. Looks nice, man.

pepperman · « **Reply #19 on:** November 11, 2006, 09:35:19 pm »

Wings sweeping down it is then.

Reverend · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2006, 07:08:24 pm »

I had a request... can the wings be lengthened, the back ones too, maybe the bridge and everything else sharpened? Kinda less 'stock', so to speak. Just a thought..

if you lengthen the wings, It'll roll and turn slower. Looks great as-is but I think the engines need to be further apart (something about interferring warp fields if the engines are too close together).

:huh:Hows that? Its outer space, no drag...
its good as is, I liked my idea too tho

Star Dragon · « **Reply #23 on:** December 02, 2006, 04:31:41 pm »

Sorry for late reply (been away from all forums last 2 months)...

Can you taper the edges of all the wings? Not a function thing, but a cool visual.
(Also a upsweeping version would be cool as well

)

Regardless, Atolm/Pepperman can I add that to the 31century Romulan fleet conversions?

Sure there no drag in a vacuum but unless the math is different in the 25th century, mass and inertial forces will change as well as your moment (center of gravity) the further away you move from your balance point.

I personally prefer a little reality in my fantasy games.
