Hello Romulan flagship

NICE

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #4 on:** April 11, 2007, 07:43:59 pm »

Updated the design somewhat...so I call it the MKIII:

Simply gorgeous, Atolm. But hey, what else is new?

Greenvalv · « **Reply #6 on:** April 11, 2007, 10:42:56 pm »

Nice, high res for an SFB ship.

Don Karnage · « **Reply #7 on:** April 12, 2007, 11:46:36 am »

cool romulan bb, so is it plasma or disruptor on the warp engines?

Dizzy · « **Reply #8 on:** April 12, 2007, 12:00:14 pm »

WOW!!! THAT THING SO TOTALLY ROCKS!

Edit: I really like the direction you took with it. It looks more sophisticated, more evolved... more romulan.

WTG I hops to be able to D/L this one. It's an A list model.

great work there

Dizzy · « **Reply #10 on:** April 12, 2007, 04:45:41 pm »

That's so outrageously cool. I hope it gets a good paint job...

it will.....

Excellent!!!! I like both versions, one of my most beloved Rommie ships!

Semper Fi, Carry On

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #13 on:** April 13, 2007, 01:01:44 pm »

Its kinda mine too (for an SFB Rom)...I dislike its orthographics, but love her perspectives...so its a 50/50 kind of thing
Thanks

Not going to be easy beasts to map, are they?

Tus-XC · « **Reply #15 on:** April 16, 2007, 06:43:22 pm »

don't know, haven't mapped them yet... should be to much of a hassle though

Scottish Andy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2007, 09:10:58 am »

I never really liked the SFB ships beyond the TOS Fed and Gorn designs. All too-simplistic shapes. I much prefer the SFC versions of the Romulan and Klingon New Series, Hydran, Lyran, and Mirak ships.

That said, this is a beautiful model. The double neck design variation gives it a greater legitimacy and basic look for the "real" STU. I just don't think I'll ever like that huge ball head, though.

Wow.... really nice work... i Love it!!!

*bump* for update.

Norsehound · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2007, 02:06:36 pm »

mm... I like both versions, but for the purposes of representing the SFU, I think the first one is better. I'm not really a fan of double-neckers, but your second design looks so good that this detail is trivial compared to the rest of the model.

one could be a later variant, or a Tal'Shiar variant(???)

Star Dragon · « **Reply #21 on:** June 22, 2007, 04:47:24 pm »

Very interesting, lets see it with paint.

Anyway, I can't help it. When I first saw it, my mind erased the wings and rear body and said, "wouldn't that Bow and Nacels be a good start on a pimped out Deadelus Class?"

I'm wierd...

*Shrugs* A TNG/TMP refit? Hey, Excelsior lasted that long, why couldn't other ships?

You know I wonder about that often. I would have loved to have seen a ConnieRefit or two somewhere in DS9. I find it hard to believe that if the Miranda lasted that long, so could have the Connie2. One thing that always bothered me about Star Trek is there is a HUGE universe out there, and all that is really covered is how it affects ONE ship. At least, thats how it was in TNG. DS9 was better, a larger scope as it were. Obviously Voyager you couldn't really ask for such a thing due to the basic premise of the show. I never got into Enterprise enough to know how it was handled.
But I think you see my point.
I for one think the "lines" between eras need to be blurred a lot more, make things more gradual.

Norsehound · « **Reply #24 on:** June 26, 2007, 03:07:10 am »

I believe it was an intentional decision on the part of the creators not to show the constitution refit in the series. The Constellation, after all, was supposed to be a constitution. From what I've read, the Bozeman also was supposed to be a constitution, but to save money (And the mysterious other reason), they refitted the Miranda model into the Soyuz class. I believe the only reason the excelsior, Miranda, and Oberth stayed around was because they could not afford the cost to feild new ship designs. (Though feel free to enlighten me if there is a real reason why the Constitution never appeared).

I believe it was contempt for the design, personally, since the TNG staff wanted to trump their baby and ignore the past, but that's my own opinion.

Back to this design, I like how it harks back to the original BoP, in whatever time period it's set (TMP?). It obviously looks like the "new series" Romulan battleship from SFB, which makes it a nice candidate for a cost-saving measure to just update some of the old designs. Could be a stablemate to the TOS warbird -> KA warbird, which seems to be an obvious refit of an older design.

In the end, maybe they became monitors by the TMP era? That's what happened to the Union Navy's old ironclads at any rate, which were considered the first battleships at the time of the civil war.

Anyways... Atlom, is there an ETA on this design? Or is it one of several floating. If it's released, she'll fill my sublight Romulan BB slot, since IIRC it is filled by a regular BoP in the stock game...

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #25 on:** June 26, 2007, 04:13:08 am »

I'd hate to say it, but I think you're right.

Anyways - I like the model. If you look at Atolm's late TNG rommies, and his original Pre-TOS fleet, and this, you can see the progression of design, the "influences" of different in-universe designers and the overall "cultural" design.
Thats why i like atolm's work so much - it feels like he taps into the source of a design so easily.
