Star Trek: Axanar

[Titan Designer]

I think what he is saying please discuss ships that are not in the Axanar fleet in another thread. (I could be wrong, often I am and I will be told...lol).

Howdy.

This looks like an amazing project, and I'll be waiting eagerly, as will many others I'm sure.

I've a question if I may: you mentioned far earlier in the thread that you weren't using the Kelvin design, because its a pure Abrams thing. Since you are using several designs that are also Abramsverse esque - albeit with TOS Nacelles and other details - would it not be possible to modify the Kelvin design slightly? Stick a new nacelle in, get rid of the window viewscreen and call it a refit? That would be a simplified way of describing how the other ship designs were modified, I'm certain, but could not the same principles be applied? Especially if you don't use the actual USS Kelvin.

Other than that, I look forward to this film. Good luck with it. :-)

A good question. But we just decided not to get too much into the JJverse. The Kelvin was in the treatment but we changed things a bit. More important that Rabau be in the script, now with a new, bigger ship. He is Garth's friend and plays a major role in the Battle of Axanar.

It's really a great things you guys are attempting to achieve. I sincerely hope you will. Love all of the TR designs and the whole Axanar fleet shall indeed give a nice pre-TOS impression (with monor exception of those slightly post-TNG Klingon designs -> D5, Raptor... fortunately, the D4 and D6 are bridging the gap more than nicely).

USS Hermes, the prime timeline version of the USS Newton.

Whoever got quarters with a window must consider him-/herself lucky ) So few of those, even on the saucer rim. Love the round ones though

As for the uniform sketches; as it's pre-TOS gong for TheCage style and department colours would be the best choice. With all the TOS, classic gold-teal-red based fan productions already around the Cage colour theme would be a nice touch. Personally I favor those much more than the established 66-69 series designs (along with the more 'serious' bridge and overal design, but that's just my two cents)

Keep it up, please, and may the Great Bird bless upon your enterprise
