I'm sorry..I thought it was ok as long as Vance was credited with it ..Because the problem was with people using his work and claiming it as thier own.
And my take on translating the NX-01 design into the TOS-era. Atlantis class light cruiser (as build, 2240) (after 2255 refit) refit variant with sensor spikes, a precedessor for the Soyuz class.
Having some trouble with Imageshack... Keeps jamming up on me... Okay kaisernathan... Let's see if Photobucket works... Seems to be working... I just now figured out how to get Photobucket to show photos this big at their full size... I (bleepity bleeping) HATE not knowing how to do stuff on the Internet...
Okay... so this is my first stab at this so don't laugh! I was watching The Devil in the Dark last night and was wondering what a Star Fleet vessel crewed by Horta might look like. And this is what I came up with...
SFB has something along this line... A race of interstellar wanderers called the Jindarians. They are humanoids who have been in space for so long that they've evolved to a microgravity environment and can no longer live in a gravity well (like a planet). Their larger ships are made from hollowed-out asteroids and they use asteroid belts for camouflage...
Vostok class survey frigate, a direct precedessor for the Soyuz @ Kaiser actually, i find this design, that i did after the modified Atlantis much more like your design. Golden Hind class survey cruiser
Wow! I've never seen what a TOS Soyuz could look like before. Your Vostok class looks awsome and the Golden Hind also looks good
Thanks, guys. Although i'm wondering, what a TOS Soyuz would look like, if one interprets the spikes as weapons.
Well, if the successful return of Polar Lights means we'll eventually see a 1:350 Connie, I might just have to build one!
Inspired by therealfoxbats Hermes-variant: Astraea class scout ...and a destroyer variant: Furor class destroyer ...and for those who prefer two-nacelled destroyers: Principe de Asturias class destroyer By the way, if you search for names for your designs, here is a page wich lists many military sailing ships:http://3decks.pbwiki.com/
