Something Totally Different...

MadMan1701A · November 3 2011, 04:00 AM

Hey, everybody.

I've been working on this for the past week or so... my wife and I have been watching through Voyager on Netflix, and one afternoon I thought to myself: "what if I built Voyager out of my STXI Refit Enterprise parts?"

Well, That's what I did.

This ship is about half the size of Enterprise, with a totally different saucer, of course.

I think it turned out interesting, and it even evokes the feel of the real Voyager... even though none of the parts are the same shape.

So, what do y'all think?

To quote so many, "holy crap". Seriously beautiful and a whole lot more than rearranged parts.

Better looking than the "original" Voyager I think.

Intersante.

very awesome

my only crit is not enough Phaser banks top and bottom

sojourner · November 3 2011, 08:22 AM

That is very cool.

And are her nacelles mounted "fixed wing"?

Looks pretty nice, but without the curvature it still lacks a huge chunk of the Voyager feel.

That aside, it's a masterful arrangement for the most part and quite aesthetically pleasing.

^ Which means it also lacks Voyager's resemblance to a toilet seat

Well you got me sold on this with one exception. I don't like the positioning of the nacelles- I really think they should be angled up so they can see each other a little.

Otherwise, me likey!

I like that design better than anything in ST IX.

Very nice design. I see where you were inspired by Voyager, but it's different enough to be completely original. I love it.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Thumbs up!
Intrepid class always bothered me because it wasn't pretty. This is beautiful.

Thanks, guys.

This was just a quick one, that I had to build in a hurry because of the idea in my head.

I'm trying to decide what my next project will be... I kind of want to do a restyled Galaxy Class, but I don't know. I'm fixing to have free time to actually work on things.

I'm a little tired of my Enterprise Refit, already.
