So I've been messing around with Doga-L3. I'm not very good at it, but I want to know what you guys think of this ship I made. I'm trying to think of what a Warp tug might look like, and this looks more like a ship built for speed, not really a work horse. Your opinions?

Here's another one. It's a design for a Graviton Catapult Drive Ship.

Sheesh, all those views and not even an "It sucks giant Ankellian Gorilla balls!"

kinda like the first one myself though it looks more like a civilian cruiser then a tug. Don like the green one very much no idea why just dosent get me like the first one

Does anyone know if something similar to a tug was ever seen on screen?

Okay Kaz, you asked for it so here - "It sucks giant Ankellian Gorilla balls!"

Just kidding, I haven't mastered a simple planet or photo manip yet so to me I think they look great. There was some kind of Tug ship used in DS9 towing an Excelsior-class ship I think in season 6 and I think it was a robotic tug. If anyone remembers that refresh my memory.

Can't remember the specific episode, but it was somewhere in season seven of DS9. We see the federeation fleet limping back from a battle against the dominion, and there is a tug towing another starship. It's pretty early on: either the teaser, or after the first break during the episode titles.

^^ It was after the first break. It was nice seeing a Federation ship that was not a starship.

Kaziarl - I like them both, from what I can see, but would appreciate a few more shots of the second ship to get a better idea of what she looks like.

As for the "warp tug" I like the design, but to be honest, she looks more like a fast, high warp courier ship to me. I think we saw a similar design (minus the warp nacelles and pylons) in ST:TMP as Kirk is entering Starfleet, but I could be wrong (it might have been ST:IV or some other movie where we see smaller ships around Spacedock or Starfleet Command). She looks great, but like I said, more as a fast courier than as a tug. Just my thoughts, for what they are worth (which according to "She Who Must be Obeyed" ain't much).

Looking forward to more stuff.

I love ~this~ design.

Thanks for the comments. And your right, the first one just looks to fast to be a tug. I would still imagine them have four nacelles, but not so sleek.

And I'll work on more views of the other ship. What I was trying to do was design a concept for a ship that uses the graviton catapult.
