    Building my own star ship

    Well it was about time I got to grips with Blender. I've been dabbling with Lightwave for the least ten years, nothing serious just bits and pieces to waste time. I felt it was a bit cumbersome but didn't really know any different. Installed blender about a month ago and turns out after a few...

    An attempt at making a game...Lightwave & Unity3D (early days!)

    Oooook, haven't been here in a while, but finally found a project I'd like to have a crack at. It came at the same time as I learned how to use a good few more tools in Lightwave and began fiddling with Unity3D. I still have to some some serious research in to texturing which, quite frankly, I...

    Impulse use within warp travel

    Just looking for peeps thoughts on this. Been thinking about warp drive and what it actually does to space. Compresses at the front and expands at the back, etc. What would be the propulsion that actually drives it through that space? Since it still is space, albeit compressed. ...assuming...

    I've started writing again...

    So I've been working on this script for quite a while now, but I've been getting in to it more so the last six months. Now as much as I like the way Star Trek is written, I don't find the formula works too well with how I like to write, so I came up with a few rules of things I wanted to deal...

    I don't read...so what book should I buy...

    First off, I'm not thick, I just can't be bothered! My entire reading history can be summed up by the following: - The books my mother read to me as a child. - x2 Star Fleet Academy Books - Shatners Movie Memoirs - 70% of The Hobbit I stopped reading in 2004 and haven't picked up a book...

    Motion Tracking for 3D/Live Action

    For those interested in filmmaking, I'm looking at FreeIMU or SpacePoint Scout as a relative location and orientation tracking kit. Links below. http://www.pnicorp.com/products/spacepoint-scout https://viacopter.eu/multirotor-shop/sensors/freeimu-0-4-3-multicopter-store The idea behind it, I...

    Bi-Warp...?

    In DS9 S4, "Little Green Men", Nog mentions the development of the Ferengi Alliance and breezes past a 'bi-warp technology' comment. Anyone have any ponderings of what this could relate to? J.

    Before & After

    The reference to the Year of Hell (4:8/9) in Before & After (3:21), anyone know anything on it from a production point of view? What forethought went into it etc. J.

    Generations was...

    ...one of the best scored Star Trek films in it's history, musically it has produced some of the most memorable motifs. IMO it was written with a feeling of history to it, looking back over the many years of TNG and their friendships. Something that I think was lost when the ent-e came around...

    Time (but not travel)

    Ok, let's ignore the current StarTrek dating system for a second. I'm curious as to what people would consider a good way to measure the passage of time that would be acceptable to any race, and what portions it would be measured in. ie. fractions of galaxy rotation, or the vibration of a...

    Centaur Class

    This was possibly one of the most inspired ship designs ive seen in a while. from a DS9 episode? Loved the idea, the structure, and the long nacelles, harking back to some older design proportions. Its also one of the only designs I know that has the nacelles outside the width of the main...

    Warp, Motion, Accelleration... ugh...

    Ok, so I got to this question after watching rocket launches on the old youbletuble.. don't judge me, I know it's a Friday and I should be doing that social thing I hear so much about... Anyhow, impulse I get, thrust = movement/g-force, etc., requiring inertial dampers. But warp, based on the...

    'Chunky'-class (although not set in stone!)

    Ok, probably won't call it chunky class, cus that would be silly, but I haven't designed any of the ship on paper, I'm making it up as I go, so I don't have a feeling for a propper name and class yet. Opinions/criticisms welcome. J.

    Sound Effects

    Ok, this is a plea for help. I'm desperately searching for a clean 44/48khz 'drop out of warp' wav sound file, voyager era. Has to be copyright free or the owner must be able to approve use, or the University will flat paddle me over a bench! Any ideas? Websites? Sound tutorials? Even...

    reusing set pieces

    was just watching 'eye of the beholder' and the upper section of the nacelle control looks like the upper section of voyagers engineering. anyone know if the design was nabbed for voyager or if it was reused? J.

    Breaking Convention

    Theres this great line in TNG where Wriker puts Worf in his place about the dress tunics looking like...well, a dress. "Mr Worf, that is an out modest and sexist attitude!", and I just thought it captured how peoples perception of what is acceptable in the future is different to present day, and...

    I'm curious...?

    I know this post is about Enterprise but Mod's please humour me cus I'm trying to get a general concensus from everyone. I'd do a poll too, but I don't know how to! I was chatting to my friend a not so long ago, and he's a VHS trekkie...or was back in the day, and he mentioned that he hated...
