Idea for ships for an unnamed Star Trek race.

...And yes, I know the Destroyer hull type looks a bit too much like a certain ship. I aim to rectify that.

B.J. · October 21 2008, 02:03 PM

Nice concepts, and I really like the color scheme. But I'd change the nacelles on the two larger ships to something a little more unique. Those parts look much too Starfleet right now.

Herkimer Jitty · October 21 2008, 09:12 PM

Took the Federation red out of the bussards and added some weapons emplacements.

Boy, these guys sure like missiles, don't they?

Why not an isolated group of Humans from the Khan / post-Nuclear Horror era (DY-100's, etc.) right before "Ent" who were abducted by the Skagarans or whomever was responsible for the 37's? They took their abductors' technology after the revolutionaries destroyed most of it, rebuilt some of it & eventually headed out into the void to see what else was out there & see if they could ever get home to Earth & see if Earth itself had been conquered by whomever grabbed *them* & planned to re-take Earth from the alien invaders. Not realizing that several hundred years had passed & their abductions were isolated incidents that no-one knew about...

The Anhur-Class Patrol Ship was introduced in 2370 as part of the ongoing effort to modernize the fleet in the face of threats such as the Borg. The Anhur is a small vessel, with 6 habitable decks in total and an average crew of 40. The Anhur-Class is designed for long hauls, and as such, her engines are not as impressive as the Galaxy or Intrepid-class ships. Quarters are more spacious than other ships of her size, and recreational facilities are emphasized to compensate for long boring months of repetitious patrol duty. Armament is fair, consisting of 6 Type-IX Phaser Arrays and 1 torpedo tube.

Commanding officers of Anhur-class vessels are allowed the option of decorating their ships with non-standard paint schemes. Pictured here is the USS Lightning.

Fleshing out the Anhur-Class a bit more:

Herkimer Jitty · October 29 2008, 06:30 PM

A few tweaks and additions.

I like the side view, not sure about the "arrowhead" top view. That shape is beginning to be too prevalent.

Herkimer Jitty · October 30 2008, 07:25 AM

I was considering a straight-up disc or oval, but I got an idea for the forward lounge (which I'll get around to sketching eventually) that would require a pointy front bit, so arrowhead it became.

I redesigned the neck. She now has a little shuttlebay... for shuttles and stuff.

I like that frigate. How big a ship is it? Like a fed BOP?

Herkimer Jitty · October 30 2008, 08:24 AM

About ye big. Give or a take a bit-ish.

hellsgate · October 30 2008, 09:30 PM

I love the Anhur-Class. Is anyone going to 3D render it?

Herkimer Jitty · November 3 2008, 10:29 AM

Something I did to disprove someone in an MSN convo.

"No way could the Millenium Falcon ever be a Trek ship."

Also, if you're the type who desperatley tries to explain little VFX things, then this is perfect for the FC battle scene

.

Stay tuned, I've got a non-Trek concept coming up.

B.J. · November 3 2008, 03:18 PM

Nice! Reminds me of the model that the Starship Modeler guys did for Wonderfest 2004:

And I really like that Anhur-Class of yours. Especially the WWII-era markings.

Herkimer Jitty · November 3 2008, 07:41 PM

Haha, that's a sweet model.

I've actually got a few different liveries for Anhur-Class ships.

And here's that non-Trek thing I mentioned. She's a colony ship, most of the crew remain in cryo for the journey, and the colony is fabricated from local resources upon arrival. Once infastructure is set up, the colonists are taken out of cryo, and there you have it.

I'm thinking the FTL drive is some sort of space warp, probably folding space in front of the ship and expanding behind it. There are 2 poles, one forward and one aft. The aft FTL bit can be plainly seen. The forward bit and the "Lighthouse" section have yet to be designed.
