Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares Here is a $40.00 Customization of a design out of my fleet for Glenn Judd. He wanted a fast attack cruiser for Section 31. He requested more Weapons. So I gave him For and Aft Mega Phasers on the Nacelle Struts and under the Weapons pod on the underside of the saucer. I swapped out the Nacelles with my Ent-F Nacelles. With Section 31 being the Secret Police of the Terran Empire we decided that they would have ships that would be enforcers. There are Section 31 Starships like Voyager that operate in the open and have Registry number on their hulls, and there are Enforcement ship that just have the Section 31 Logo on the hull. An Imperial Standard Fleet ship seeing one of these ships on approach should be aware. Because they are here to take care of any ship that has broken from Imperial Protocol. With Ships Like Voyager Section 31 is sent to investigate if there is a problem with just a few crewmembers on offending ships or bases. With the Enforcement Fleet they shoot first and don't stop to ask questions. Also these ships run without Transponders that Offending ships can hack into. They run on transponders only accessible to other Section 31 ships. These ships are also equipped with Cloaks. Unfortunately the Empire still hasn't cracked how to safely equip ships with cloaks that are able to fire while cloak. They have however solved the problem with shielding while de-cloaking. So the ship is fully shielded when de-cloaking. Sean P. Tourangeau Adobe Illustrator CS5 7-21-2011
Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares Who doesn't like the Peregrine class? Heck, I've started a couple of sketches for a design set post-Nemesis, though I have yet to finish them sufficiently enough to the point that I feel they are ready to be posted. It sounds like that unless you are on top, living in the Terran Empire is only a few steps above living in hell. I would feel sorry for any Federation vessels that accidentally ended up in this version of the Mirror Universe (or any other for that matter). I have no doubt that Section 31 is well aware of the Federation's universe, and what their version of Starfleet stands for. A fight with a S31 vessel would be vicious, and I wouldn't be surprised if a Starfleet captain that knew who s/he was up against chose to self-destruct his/her vessel rather than surrender if fighting back or running away doesn't pan out. I think we all know that the Empire doesn't hesitate to use torture for any reason, and considering that the Federation's S31 believes in using desperate measures, the Empire's S31 must be nigh non-negotiable, even if they had a phaser to their head.
Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares Sean...I was just wondering if you've had any requests or done any mirror universe art work for JJ Trek?
Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares Nope, not as of yet, I am always open them. And if they came up in a commission I would love to entertain them(Characters or ships). Check out my deviant art gallery for prices. I did however do a tmp mirror universe version of the Kelvin.
Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares http://hammerheadgraphics.iwarp.com/USSStarfire.jpg Here is a $75.00 Custom Starship Build for Steve Roger (Not That Steve Roger...LOL). He had a starship that he had designed and wanted me to re-draw it in Illustrator in my style. For the most part he had the design complete and looked in my opinion really tight. So I re-drew it completely in Adobe Illustrator. I added my Life pods, windows templates, Federation markings, and detailed it out. Sean P.

Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares ^^^ Agreed - positively stunning! What kind of ship would this be? Heavy cruiser, galaxy exploration or something else? Not sure of the purpose of the inverted wings but it does look bad-ass!
Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares Well the size chart he gave me it is about the same scale a the Promethus. As for the wings I believe he invisions them as sensor wings???

Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares I know it's years later but... did this MSM/D ever get done? Is there any MSM/D out there that you endorse, Sean? Also, could you settle a bet for me? How many decks does the Titan have with and without sensor pod (I've heard the pod is two levels, but they're counted as "a deck" and "b deck" and then the normal decks 1-whatever begin with the bridge???) Any other tid-bits of information like the sensor pod not being manned? Sorry for all the questions at once!!
Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares Well six years ago this month I won the Titan Contest, & six Years ago I started my jump into the Dark Mirror Universe. So in Celebration here is a poster of some of the Character art I have done in that time. Sean Tourangeau 9-4-2011 Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Re: I.S.S. Titan & I.S.S. Ares Titan: I'd love to have that (Starfire) design but with the nacelles reduced in length by one-third and in the "up/overhead" position. Always hated ships with Nebula-type underslung nacelles as they can't really land for repairs for fear of ripping off their engines in a possible belly landing/crash, even with retractable pads/feet/legs.
