Just my ideas to design an Apollo-class proper in honour of the Apollo missions. Enjoy what I've got so far: Direct Links: https://i.postimg.cc/fLv4Mj8v/Concept-Federation-Apollo-Class-00.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xC5Zwjdx/Concept-Federation-Apollo-Class-01.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4N785QpF/Concept-Federation-Apollo-Class-02.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/NGyVJtc4/Concept-Federation-Apollo-Class-03.jpg
Named after the Apollo astronauts? Grissom, Shepard, Armstrong, Aldrin or the Lovell? I like the sound of an USS Schweickart
Excuse my ignorance, any particular reason for the square saucer? Seems a bit odd seeing a ship like this I really like the last design though. That spine is really nice.
Digging the design. Not sure if I like the pylons on the spine better than the main hull, but it's s fun idea nonetheless. Are those bussards actual scoops? Looks like it anyway, and I like that a lot!
Thanks Everyone, and update: Direct Link: https://i.postimg.cc/7P5g080j/Federation-Apollo-Class-00.jpg
Cool! Glad we thought similar things Aye Bro. Thant's why I opted her Thanks! I wanted to have a ship of the fleet that was not derivative of the Connie. Everything the Connie is, the Apollo is not. It was not the most graceful vessel, but it was a prototype that became a workhorse in later years. Thanks! Thanks Bro! I opted the spine mounted as I did not want the ship to be so wide. Angling them from there kept the ship thinner in top/bottom views and made it long-looking like a rocket. Thanks! I think she shaped up okay Thanks! Yeap.
Indeed she turned out awesome, sturdy looking ship, reminds me a little of the Sidney class but more elegant.
