Personally, I would split the difference between the original and the wide version. The widened one looks TOO widened, IMHO.

Yeah, I could probably take up some of the slack between the engines and e-stat-guns mounted on top, but I will need to re-work the superstructure saddle. Otherwise, it leaves a nice pallet on which to draw my texture. Thanks for the comment.

Always on the search for what makes a good ship design, I found this design at Ex-Astris-Scientia.org, modeled it, and used the Drex 5-view for textures. The ship was an alien transport from ENT: The Breach. I never saw the episode but like the ship design. This is a couple-hour practice model (including an unfortunate save error half way through) and only 778 polygons. I plan to remove the large windows and add smaller ones to make it a much larger ship. This will also be a good ship for adding stripes, decals, and registry number. I think this could also pass as a Star Wars Mon Calamari vessel.

Also, if you notice, the back tail, removed and turned around forward would be a good start for a little fighter craft.

Love it

I'm no Atolm, but I have been messing around with some ideas for a Star Blazers-esk model. Here is my keep-my-hands-busy-while-on-the-phone concept:

Working model . . .

awsome work mate

Guess I'm getting lazy, this is just a primitive sphere with some texture work, inspired by Out of the Silent Planet, by C.S. Lewis. Note the reaction control thrusters on the in-game version.

As always, I love your texture work

Starfox1701 · « **Reply #49 on:** September 19, 2010, 04:50:47 pm »

Agreed very nice.

markyd · « **Reply #50 on:** September 24, 2010, 03:05:49 am »

Gotta love those transparencies.

Good work.

I revisited the Yorktown after getting bogged down in some textures. Here is the result:

Nice; seggetion can you make the panaling look 50 to 60% smaller?

intermech · « **Reply #53 on:** December 19, 2010, 06:52:53 pm »

This may be the type of design that would bridge the gap between Starfleet Museum and the ring-style Enterprise. Though I am not sure which would come first. This is the Salamander:

Starfox1701 · « **Reply #54 on:** December 20, 2010, 01:35:53 pm »

I always thought of the ring as a gravity thing. The basic design seams sound but I would recomend using domes for the diameter stepdowns as the current look keeps invoking a ENT Vulcan feeling to me.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #55 on:** December 20, 2010, 01:54:38 pm »

Vulcan ships use an Annular (ring) warp drive. If you believe that early human ships used some exchanged vulcan tech, then it makes sense.

Starfox1701 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 20, 2010, 07:46:25 pm »

I know, but it just feels wrong for SFM stuff $:-\$

intermech · « **Reply #57 on:** December 20, 2010, 08:00:39 pm »

Rest easy Mr. Fox. This is not really intended to fit a Trek timeline. It is yet another iteration in my quest to find a ship design just as iconic, yet just as natural as the TOS Enterprise.

intermech · « **Reply #58 on:** November 27, 2011, 10:19:55 pm »

Haven't had much time to model what with kids, work, and life. But I had to de-stress today and this is the result. This is a followup to the Salamander previously posted. A little bit more thought out. Not completely happy with the textures yet.

nice.
