Wonderfull non-canon Trek ships...

[Starship]

I was just flying... browsing old folders in my pc, when an idea come to my mind. How many "lost" starships we have in our archives? How many good wips was left behind by friends that won´t be online anymore? So, I started this thread as a homage, and to serve as inspiration too..

What is your favorite looking non-canon Trek ship?

4- Credits about who made the rendering or the drawing MUST be present;

There are two versions, one more like TOS/JJ, and another more TMP.

Where are your favourite non-canon ships? Nobody has anything interesting saved in his hd, or comentaries about the designs already posted?

 

[Kaiser]

Well i didnt relize we were allowed to comment on the arts already posted but yes alot them are very nice and pretty to look at

 

[sojourner]

The first one posted, USS Invincible, actually looks like Vektor's work. some very nice modelling there. Though I think the third nacelle is un-necessary.

 

[Methos]

love the Legacy class above... sort of looks like a hybrid between the Sovereign class and Intrepid...

Here are a couple that I did many years ago. Physical models only, cleaned up in PhotoShop. Sorry about the size, but these were done a LONG time ago when screen resolutions were much smaller than they are now:

Schematic of ISS Asteroth
My own concoction for an alternate-universe Excelsior-era dreadnaught.

Schematic of USS Richthofen
Idea taken from FASA's Federation Ship Recognition Guide:

In July of 2266, The Larson class destroyer Richthofen (NCC-4436) was recalled for an engine refit and scheduled maintenance to shipboard systems. As the ship's refit and maintenance checks neared completion, spirited ensigns and sympathetic workers painted its hull bright red in honor of its namesake (Baron Manfred von Richthofen, A.K.A. "The Red Baron"). Star Fleet Command decided to leave the ship this color despite the breach of regulations, though all ensigns were mildly disciplined. The ship was assigned to the Klingon sector.

The ch'Rihan is my favorite thus far in this thread. Really sharp.

 

[The Axeman]

I think all of them have some beautiful design touches on them, but no one particularly stands out to me.

Gebirg and Forbin Cool ships! I know inpayne site since a loong time, and i confess that I´m tempted to build some of your ships in 3D.
I already saw the USS Richthofen in somewhere, just don´t remember where. What I think that is more interesting, is the painting schema.

From year 2009, the USS Discovery.
Concept by Galen, mesh by Dmitri (maya version).
Status: maya version finished. I´m still working on the 3ds max conversion.

Holy Crap, that Klingon ship is awesome! Very cool.
It would certainly go well with REL's re imagined design from
awhile back.

Ya- I like that. It fits the Klingons nicely. It looks like it can take a pounding.
