What I think would look nice is, three torp tubes instead of the usual two.

It says, "Lets play."

lets not forget a couple aft.

Absolutely.

Might have to see if I can't commission a "special" edition of this model as one of my XC Command ships....

Hrmmm... it's that frikkin good.

Looking forward to more WIP!

"special edition"??????

Jay1886 · « **Reply #85 on:** November 01, 2007, 07:26:56 pm »

Two tubes'd feel far more connie.

Even the Galaxy only has one front and back, what's next a mega phaser cannon? $:-\$

Then that could be considered a regression from the connie and the Excelsior.

We're looking fer progression.

Add a working toilet

perhaps the nacelle pylons should be thicker to accomidate the warp plasma transfer conduits and additional hull to protect them from being breached

Bathrooms are obsolete in the 23rd century.

Come to think of it I've never seen a floor plan of a starship with an area designated as the "head".

Don't care what the century, when you gotta go you gotta go.

The "head" for the TOS E Bridge is to the right of the viewscreen and accessed from a service corridor that runs around the circumference of the bridge according to the Tech manual which is the only full layout I've ever seen.

Both versions of the NX deck plans I've seen have heads all over the place.

But we're digressing here.

Great job so far, can't wait to see some clothes on this beauty!

OK... So i cant comment on super phasers or the placements of on suite toilet and bathroom facilities, what i can say is that their is a dul torp bank to the front and dual aft.. This is still open to change as im not rigid in such areas in the design and im flexible.

apart from that thanks for your comments their very much appreciated

I have fixed the size issue with the rear torps and fixed the neck so it now blends 100% with the saucer, ill show a wip of that...

Over the next 3 or 4 days i wont be here, but I will be back with wip's after that period.

Thanks guys.

I love it.

As on the galaxy having one tube. I imagine it had a 'clip' of torpedoes, as opposed to the 1701/1701-A having to reload a tropedo fully much like a submarine does. (heck photon torpedoes were likely based on those). We've seen the galaxy being able to fire 8 torpedoes in a burst at least. The old connie did what, 2 or 4?

atheorhaven · « **Reply #95 on:** November 03, 2007, 09:15:41 am »

... personally, one of the things I don't want to see is the ship become a "God Ship"... some process has to power all the weapons, and I loved the fact that the lights dimmed on the original Connie when you fired photon torpedos. But too many weapons here will cut available power for warp, impulse and shields. Right now though, it'll make a nice little Command Cruiser or Presidential Cruiser.

Would love to see this decked out with alternative "Fed 1" textures once it's completed even if I have to do them myself..

Im in love

Vipre · « **Reply #97 on:** November 03, 2007, 11:11:27 am »

What else is there to do, this is a work of art even without textures. It's incredible, from the rear it looks TMP and from the front TNG. There have to be designers from the actual series who're kicking themselves they didn't think of that nacelle design.

Jay1886 · « **Reply #98 on:** November 03, 2007, 05:25:13 pm »

I think she'd look better with a galaxy style texture then a sovy one.

Guys,

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions... (and the karma

) Unfortunately im travelling at the minute, so no scope for working on this, without using the touch pad on my lappy, and thats a big no no for me, need my legitech mouse

If the weapons are sitting fine with you guys i will leave them as they are, as for work that needs to be done, I am not happy with the pylons just yet, some minor refinements such as removing the kink and turning it into a smooth bend and the bottom, the deflector still needs the interpid style centerpiece and the underside of the saucer needs to have the forwards observation area built, yacht placed and an integrated sensor dome, apart from that the rear observation deck as it is now

needs some tweaking to ensure it does not look like an accident and more like a design feature, I was also thinking about the cutaway to the underside of the hull... the excelsior class has a feature their as seen on adonis's lakota, maybe.. i'll work around that idea, what do u guys think. As for textures im gonna work in massive layers, gonna try a connie texture first, then blend a connie wih ambassidor and excel textures.. then lastly a complete hibrid blend including features from most era's.

As for a background story for this ship, or technical stats, Im still sitting on that, but any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Guys thanks again, I will start work on this again when i get back on sat night.
