Yeah, I like the new version more

I do as well.

I have some concerns about the scale of the parts being used.

Are the Ulysses Warp engines really that huge in comparison to the Challenger class (USS Churchill) secondary hulls?

I absolutely LOVE the idea of using the Excelsior saucer. A+ idea there Mackie.

I had a thought about the Abbe torpedo pod, maybe it could be converted into a through deck hangar to augment the Challenger class hangars?

We need an equally cool Klingon, Romulan or other non-Federation monster ship to balance the coolness scale here too Mackie.

Well done!

I love how bad-ass those rollbars look from the sides. And what you've done with the engines on the excelcior version along with the deflectors.

Are you by chance planning the cour de lion as well?

the only things on the ship that arent to scale are the pylons (=somewhat customized), I used the scale of the parts that FOAS had provided :S
And no they arent churchill hulls, theyre a new jersey hulls which are about the same size and shape as those of a constitution class refit, maybe a little wider and longer.
Only those pointy things in the middle of the dishes I used are from the churchill

I suppose I could easily whip up a through deck carrier version of the pod, too. which also reminds me, i can do a small carrier ship with just the pod..... and yall know how much i love flying bridges and torpedo pods

I have the foas klinks available to me when i want em, as soon as i get back home to my place to my computer i'll start trying to bash something out of em

For a TOS version I dont have the rights parts for yet and whats a JJ version?
with a little tinkering i could do one more refit of it in the dominion war style, with phaser strips instead of tits and all

thanks, that kinda was the point

Ive tried making the cour de lion a number of times but i never could get it right but i guessi could try again since ive never tried it with these parts and its been a few years since the last attempt!

oh ;P while i shouldnt be the one to complain since I produce loads of anything-but-canonical style ships, I really didnt like what they did.
I was kind of okay with the ent series but the movie... well it was a good movie in general, i liked it for the entertaintment value but it was a sh*t movie as far as trek is considered.
I wish that the movies at very least could stick to the already established trek canon since theres plenty of lore yet to be explored but no, instead they seem hellbent on reinventing the whole goddamn franchise.

thank god for great fan made serieses and stories...

Looking forward to the converted file

Mackie · « **Reply #28 on:** January 22, 2011, 11:16:28 am »

Okay, this will be my last new thread for another bash. -if ill keep dishing these out in the near future this quick ill just open up a "projects thread"...

As for the ship, this isnt very big or well armed.
Its just a large box with the ability to come and go under its own power that carries a rather large number of shuttles/fighters/landing craft... and commandos.
Supposed to be supported by the rest of the fleet, not intented to carry out missions on its own.
I think you get where im going with this :p

NOICE!!!

Mackie · « **Reply #30 on:** January 22, 2011, 12:04:44 pm »

I wasnt exactly sure if there would be any ship type in sfc that would be a match for this ship, i made it with bridge commander in mind and was thinking of making it a mothership type vessel which it could be detachable from

btw, karu = "strange but kinda cool" in finnish

I am well aware knowing that is going to kinda ruin this for someone but i just couldnt think of a better name so...

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #31 on:** January 22, 2011, 12:30:27 pm »

Nice work Mackie! Very imaginative use of the Oberth engines too. Thanks for the Finnish language lesson too!

Now that hangar pod should find its way on to the latest Abbe class to make an additional light carrier as well.

So noted, KF

I'd suggest putting a shuttle in scale next to her to get an idea as to how many shuttles she would carry
Looks like she could carry quite a few.

Norsehound · « **Reply #34 on:** January 22, 2011, 03:23:16 pm »

Looks like some strange cousin of the Sydney class (Jenolen, et all). Very interesting.

Now if only SFC and the like had such places for these vehicles.

Kreeargh · « **Reply #35 on:** January 22, 2011, 11:38:08 pm »

Beautifull design

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #36 on:** January 23, 2011, 01:25:12 am »

ACK! i just realized... reminds me of the Defiant!

Mackie · « **Reply #37 on:** January 23, 2011, 12:51:23 pm »

yeah it looks like these just keep on coming for now

minow class police ship... or monitor? -something like that.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #38 on:** January 23, 2011, 01:23:36 pm »

Doesn't feel massive enough to be a monitor (at least, I imagine them massive). Would definitely work great as a Police ship, though

yeah well I dont know how these things work out, as in class types

I suppose that police ship it is since its for patrolling already held systems, dealing with minor issues.
