That is so wild. its definetly stretching my preconcieved notions of what a federation ship should look like

Kudos to you Atolm

Looks like "stuff" was put where they could, rather than where it looks best. You did another design a while back that struck me the same way, and I really liked it. I like this one too.

It certainly is a most unusual and unique design. Not sure if I could ever handle such a starship, she is most definately of high quality. What catches my eye the most are the secondary hull, design of the pylons, and the warp engines. I love those warp engines. If ever I tried to make a TNG version of the Constellation Class, I would love to have those engines. They would fit right in.

The design is well thought out, and the mesh is very clean and detailed. +1

Here is the USS Ohma variant:

WOW!

Viva la assymetry

fantastic... it's almost as if the Breen were federation members and designing the ships

To be honest - I dont like it $:-\$ sorry buddy - but full marks on inventiveness.

the ships look like the lost part of the saucer and lose the warp engines on one side, look cool

Adonis: did you finish your Akira class for sfc2 yet?

Great stuff Atolm!! You break the mold every time!! I especially love your mesh regressions expertly placed.

Like the first one better, not so sure about the side by side warp engine look.

One thing I really like are the engines themselves as tjhey can go either way (reversible) and still look good.

Hey Atolm,

I second the "Full marks for inventiveness" comment, and the models themselves are expertly done. I also agree that the Omaha variant just doesn't work for me. The engine arrangement is just... wrong. Reminds me too much of that ridiculous-looking FASA Northampton (or Andor, not sure which--or if it's both). The assymetrical look is definitely at odds with standard Fed design, even up to the Prometheus class (2374). Even the wreck-bashes of DS9 are symmetrical.

That said, the Miyazaki class is definitely an interesting concept design I have no trouble seeing Starfleet R&D playing around with, say in the late 2290s or 2300s.

She'd look good as an exploratory cruiser, as the unbalanced design looks like it would be a power hog for SIF reinforcement during battle maneuvers. I can see her being very expensive to build.

She does have beautiful, clean lines, though. A very pretty ship that could be used as a fleet flagship, showcasing Federation tech and design to the non-Feds. With all that secondary hull space, she could be a baby carrier, holding lots of specialised shuttles for the exploration of non-M-Class words (Oceanic, toxic atmosphere, etc.)

The more I ramble on here, the more I like her. When you finally start painting her, may I be so bold as to request a special ship? If you are using the JapAnimator naming convention I'd like to see her named USS Laputa NCC-9014.

If not, I still can't wait to set a story aboard her...

Fine work!

Wow... thats really well built, completley original....

If i could give that karma thingy I would, until then you have my respect

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2007, 11:08:59 am »

Thanks everyone
The Ohma variant's nacelles are not right next to each other (damned close though...lol)
but are actually in a step format similar to the Dupliex just not directly over one another...actually that gives me an idea
for another variant...lol
Miyazaki worked on Laputa, so aye the ship could/should have that name too.

Scottish Andy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2007, 03:03:06 pm »

lol...can't stand most of the FASA ships, and that includes the Dupliex "fast destroyer" too.

That would be cool to get the Laputa, for sure!

MajorRacal · « **Reply #17 on:** April 17, 2007, 04:23:03 pm »

I don't think that the Dupleix was a FASA design - it has a strong air of fanboy kitbash about it
