This project is really cool! I love TMP far better than TNG.

BTW: While we're on the subject of elongated secondary hulls have you thought about using P81's version of Jackill's USS Kodiak? Miranda saucer section, armored warp engines and two deflectors (fore & aft) on the secondary hull. Fits the SFC schematic better. Then there is Anarion's USS Churchill, designed to replace the 'failed' Excelsior using off the shelf Miranda and Connie parts, finally we have Darkdrone's Tri-nacelled USS Belisarius. All three of these designs use 'off-the-shelf' parts that would follow SFB wartime thinking.

Somebody should do more with the other non-Federation races in the TMP setting; the Romulans could use a ST: New Worlds Melak Warbird, the TMP FASA Gorn ships could be added (only a few ships really) and I could go on....

Not much point in having sexy Federation ships unless you have equally as cool adversary ships too.

Qa Pla!

HI KF
    Long time no see hows the fasa mod list coming along. Did you see my thread requesting  texturing for a higher poly Durrett class that I managed to kitbash together using M6.  Enough about that thread on to this one.  When I Iook at the Churchill design I personally think Galactic Survey cruiser.    Your right on the alien account eventually someone will
tackle those projects. I've been busy racking my brain to come up with schematics for a TOS version of a Federation Mauler.

Heya, Klingon Fanatic, glad you like the idea.  I have all the models that you mention, and have used them all at one time or another. I have more models than I can shake a stick at, and I keep finding more that pop up, heheh.

The more I've played this game, and now gotten into reading and collecting Star Fleet Battles material, the more the "purist" in me has emerged, heheh. In my younger days, I was a bit of a military hardware buff. And I've always been an avid collector of blueprints and schematics, esp the TMP stuff. You can bet http://www.shipschematics.net/ is bookmarked.  Although nothing is quite as good as having the book in your hand, heheh.  Over the years I've found myself being rather picky about those sorts of things, I guess I try to approach starship design in a logical, realistic manner, as much as you can have that when playing with imaginary starfaring vessels, LOL. There are a lot of schematics I've seen out there that, well...let's just say that logic seems to escape some people...and, no, I'm not Vulcan.

I'd love to see many of the SFB ships be "re-fit" to TMP specs, that would be a hella fun project. Hmmm...I'll have to start thinking on some more schematics....I'd very much like to see more TMP Fed fighters, there are really hardly any models, I think only 2, maybe 3. And I got 'em. How about TMP SFB fighters as well as the ships? Yeah, i'd love to see some designs for the F-18 and the A-10...

I totally agree. I'd love to see the other races get the same SFB conversion re-fit. Ooooh...new TMP ISC designs...how about some more Kzi...I mean Mirak? Not many of those about...

Hey, Gow, how's it coming, friend?

Hi Wanderer
    You'd like the schematic I did for revising the burke class frigate to TMP. I really should ask someone to host some of the schematics I've drawn.  So I can share them in this forum.

Silly Feddies and your in hull mods :P

Us Romies would've used the Miranda "Rollbar" and made the weapons pod modular. That way with a few weeks in a light yard you could refit from one variant to another.



Nice looking ship Gow. I'll be looking for this one when she comes out.

Bernard, if your looking for some short term space, I can cover ya.

Heh Heh thats what the USS  Banting can do the torp pod can be retrofitted for specialzed mission parameters
I have schematics drawn of sensor pod that is in the same shape of the torp pod and I'm thinking of creating some
other mission specific pods as well.
