I'm all for a big ship, IMO, that's what the flagship should be, and it doesnt really have that much of an impact on simming, if anything, it creates more options.

No I can understand - Flagship = big
But what is the justifcation for such a large ship in S47? Essential just 8 sectors in size?

Iheard you at least, but flagships are big. normal ships not so much, but his is the falgship project. they don't have to be giants, but about sov. size. here's what I had in mind.

Jamey - I d like to a front view, otherwise I like the idea of a split off section like the MAVM in Prometheus'.
Jeff - Yours is good I like the top views but in both yours and Jameys the side view.... I dunno makes it look squashed together.
I guess I just like the sleek ship shapes rather than the compact ones - though as some may know I always liked Nebulas LOL
I ll root out some of the old sketches etc I did a long long time ago, not sure how Ill be able to put them up on here tho LOL.
I ll cross that bridge when I reach it.

This is an off topic note. Everyone please do not post pictures so large that they extend the board's width. It makes it very annoying and even difficult to read. You know you can use the height and weight commands to make the images smaller. Example: [img width=X height=X]image link[/img] Now carry on. And don't mind me. And not to make it fully off topic, for ship shape I personally like the shape of the Sovereign and Galaxy II. But hey, that’s just me

Thank you for your review ... I will work on a front view and also try to make look more of the style Sovereign. I will have to go look at the Galaxy II in order to remember how that looks.
... working ... ;D

sonak, wiki is just for hosting images to link to their articles. Photobucket.com will allow you free hosting for anything.it's jsut for this kind of thing. you upload an image from your computer, and it's hosted on their site.
free, too.
As for the ship design, I rally don't know how I could rework that drawing. I got it from that site that gaz poted, and modified it a little, and added separated veiws.
though I agree it does seem squashed. but that's the general idea of teh desgn I have right now.

I used old photocopies of some schematics from some site... some scissors and some glue and then a scanner LOL.
If they were models they would be termed kitbashed.
If you look real carefully you should be able to see that the last ship is a Galaxy saucer on a Vulcan ship.
I have quite a few more lol

Pretty much yes LOL.
I just played around with bits until I came up with shapes I thought looked cool. One of the ships even has part of a Negh'var cruiser in it - can you guess which one LOL

I never liked kitbashed designs because of the frequent problems of a)scaling and b)reason for why it would be done. Although it is entirely good practice to find what works and combine/improve them for a later design, but the later design would look new, not kitbashed.

they give a good idea of the design, and as long as the shots arnt' too close up, it's hard to tell. if it's a close up, you should make a new model. but less deatiled stuff? who can tell?
I like the direction of the first three, but the last one I don't like at all. the last one loks like a carrier- and it's a mess of a design (sorry, that's what I think of it)
I think we should go in te sleeker direction, myself.

Ah now thats more like it.
I have a query - what do the two shots on the bottom Left represent - some kind of seperation, if so where do the 2nd set of nacelles come from?
I m not sure about the upper (sensor?) pod in regards to how it connects, would be interesting to see it with a single central support like a nebula?
As for my 3rd design - Jeff - I agree with you. Theres something about it that doesnt just sit right. Its both boxy and circular, to many diff shapes. But then I was limited with my cut and stick shapes LOL - if theres a low tech way to do something - I ll manage it LOL.
Oh btw I ve just realised - I hope you peeps dont mind me commenting after all I m not officially part of the project LOL.

Jeff ... please remember to give credit to Kris at reverendtrigster@yahoo.com ... that his ship ... I don't know him but we could ask him to re-work his ship for S47 ... Lin, others ... what do ya'll think?
I agree with Lin about the upper sensor pod ... with it connect to the nacelles the saucer separation would be almost impossible. With the Pod connected differently ... I would say that then the separation would be possible.
