Just making some Sense of the FASA Ship Enjoy: Direct Link: https://s23.postimg.org/jqe15obuz/Federation_Decker-_Class_00.jpg
You crazy SOB. You actually did it hahahaha! Yeah, looks way better than the original. It's still awkward, but at least it's got some character now.
Much better. FASA came up with some pretty funky stuff toward the end, not that all of their designs didn't have their own unique...character.
Thanks Thanks Bro...I just felt I could do "something" with it. I do have an idea of a refit, that kind of makes it make or sense (at least to me lol). Talk to the man who posted before yours (that's Madman1701A BTW)...he can do that kind of thing, and he's a nice guy Thanks! Thanks bro, I couldn't go too far from the original, otherwise she would not be somewhat recognizable to the source material. I do however, have some thoughts on a refit. lol...I tend to look at the FASA stuff as "diamonds in the rough"...some need more polishing than others.
^ And if anyone can polish a FASA turd, it's Atolm. Beautiful work as always. I said it elsewhere, FASA's idea of new designs was to stretch and stretch and stretch the ships out. The original Decker was a perfect example.
One helluva improvement over the original FASA design. [Edited to remove images: I probably should have read the stickies before posting in this thread]
lol...Thanks...err I think...lol No seriously, thank you Thanks mate. I didn't want to make her too different, but just wanted to give her some logic(at least to me). Thanks! I'll be doing at least a forward view for her that way it will match the original FASA Decker drawings.
You know...... The more I look at it, the more I wanna write a story about a crew on this ship during the Cardassian War in the 2350's. I'm getting a vibe here man.
As others have said, it's an improvement. If I didn't know it was based on something else, I'd just assume that it was the unfortunate victim of politicians and admirals meddling with it's mission profile well into the design... and possibly construction phases.
Thank you so very much for doing this. I'd like to see how you would evolve this ship over time. I can see Aventine nacelles making the ship look more rakish.
