I may be showing my age. But i remember a very, very, VERY old Star Trek fan series from the mid 1990s. "Star Trek Destinies", with the hero ship "USS Hunter". I have found a grand total of ONE reference to it on the web that ends up as broken links. Does anyone remember what i'm talking about at all? This has been nagging me for 20 years when it comes to star trek content, really really badly. I remember a "cover art" picture of a ship that looked like a big bowl for the secondary hull with integrated warp nacelles and an ovular saucer. Anyone recognize this at all? Maybe have pictures or other details?
After much searching, I found the related link on wayback but it seems the ftp site is no longer operational.
Yea, you probably found the same link i did. And no, i don't have anything. This was 20+ years ago, and it was actually printed up in a fanzine, not a link.
Zip. I literally only remember seeing the ship, it's name and the series. To be fair, I was about 7 at the time.
I love a good challenge! I like hunting for this sort of stuff. Maybe nothing comes of it, but I'm sure I'll find places that I never knew existed.
None of those are it, sorry It was definitely TNG era, i remember in the "Bowl"-like hull of the ship it had Galaxy-red bussard and blue grills on the side of it.
I think that I've found the information that you're looking for. There's mention of a USS Hunter on this Wiki page: https://stexpanded.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Hunter_(NCC-79105) It relates to the Starfleet Simulation Group (play by email simulation RPG/interactive fan fiction) that formed in 1996 and ended in 2002.
Sorry for the necropost, but wow, that almost looks about right. maybe it was some sort of sim. I remember seeing this when i was in the 90s, so maybe it was on some sort of trek ezine they had this as a cover. The ship _kinda_ looks familiar, but i dont recall it having 4 nacelles, i remember it being descidedly bowl shaped.
