FoaS-made Taldren-TMP-Inspired TOS/Pre-TOS Lyran Ship.
« on: September 08, 2007, 12:18:40 pm »
Hows that for a title?
I'm at my girlfriends, and she has a scanner, thus I can actually sketch up a few things and put them up.
So here it is - A reverse progression of the Taldren LCA.
I think im going to scrap the Nacelles? you see on the bottom of the hull, and instead use the long arms as the nacelles.
Tension cables are just cool ^_^
Im probably going to add a spherical structure inside the hull that pokes out a bit, to represent the ESG -=shrug=-.

Sketch
As the image says, i drew the top-down too narrow, it will pretty much have the same dimensions as the Taldren LCA.

I like elements of them, overall I find them interesting... I am not that familiar with non-fed/kling/rom designs so I really can't judge it, but also agree the neck is the most unliked feature to me.

I really like the bows you drew! Plus keep the nacels for now, or at least make them a varient just to see how they turn out?

Ok, finally a race that I like and is mostly forgotten :P

I'd say to make the ship atleast twice as wide as on your sketches, and make the neck extend out to half way to the arms. :)
Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by themselves.

I know it need to be widened - hence the notes that say "TOO %#$% NARROW!". As far as the neck/head? I dunno I'll play with it once I model. Perhaps the CA i'll keep the head where it is in the drawing, but the CL ill lean it forwards. Or perhaps Vice Versa.

For a quick idea of basic shape and direction.

Looks cool! I'd suggest round booms and beveling the lower edge of the forward hulls (the command sections, I would assume).
