Oh no, just business business....Ok, here is the final mesh, some background, and a comparison pic with a DDeridex for your viewing pleasure. Let me know what you think.
Here is the completed mesh for the DDval. I have compiled some back info for discussion, and posted a pic with a DDeridex for scale.
This is a refit of the old Romulan DDval battleship from the TNG days. Like the DDeridex, it is now old news. Most of the old ships the Romulans had have been refit for modernization, and this ship is no exception. That is why it resembles the DDeridex so closely, as it was a smaller version to better match the Galaxy class. It has higher speed than the DDeridex, but less powerful weapons, and is heavilly armored. Now it is mainly used as an escort and light combat transport to counter the Klingon Nethak. Not as fast as most new Romulan starships, nor is it as powerful as Romulan capital ships, but a deadly ship nonetheless. This vessel is considered the best balanced ship in the fleet. She sits at 853 meters, a full one-third smaller and much flatter than it's DDeridex cousin.
The warp engines were the main refit for this ship. The warp pods were completely removed in favor of the spear type coaxial drive venting system used by most modern Romulan ships. This greatly increases speed and efficiency, as well as protection for the vents. The vents themselves remain inboard, lowering output but presenting much more protection for the vent faces compared to outboard designs.
The ship carries a strong armament heavy on armor and shielding. The weaponry consists of two forward heavy plasma disruptor batteries, 6 forward medium rapid fire disruptor batteries, 4 dorsal/ventral light disruptors, and two light rear distruptors, as well as one multifire torp/cannon discharge disruptor in the nose.
The original rear spline was removed to open the superstructure to the implementation of a storage bay, same as the DDeridex. Like the larger ship, it also received additional armor plating in the bridge area. Crew compliment has been reduced by 50 percent over the original, at 50 personell, and the ship can carry up to 800 troops.
Here are the pics.
