Trying to remember...is the Larson class in use in the latest Vanguard novel?

Nope. (Right source material, wrong ship.)
It was a Loknar.

Nice.....

 

[GilmourD]

I've always liked the Loknar type... Damnit! now I have to go dig up my old Star Trek RPG and accessories!

WOO HOO!

In my opinion it's alright. However, it would be fantastic if the nacelles were brought down big time, like just high enough that they can be seen completely over the saucer.

Now that's what a scout ship should look like.

Timms Class Heavy Frigate
(Pre-TMP FASA Chandley Class)

 

[EmperorKalan]

Verra, verra nice, Vance. Well, except for that ol'Franz Joseph "dish on a stick" part, but that's a personal peeve of mine.

Interesting placement of the shuttle bays on the Tmms. Do they extend all the way through?

 

[Vance]

Nope, the shuttles 'emit forward', like they do on the Chandley. I thought about making them more 'thru deck', but the lines didn't work right that way.

Timms Class Heavy Frigate
(Pre-TMP FASA Chandley Class)

This is my fav TOS era Design now

and is it just me or is the Timms/Chandley like a Fed Bird of Prey? but we dont call it that

 

[CaptainDonovin]

I generally don't post here since my artistic ability is limited to this but I have to say being a fan of ships these are awesome.

I will say I do like the nuTrek designs, a comment that will likely get me banned from here.

Larson Class (U) (2275)
Based on a design by Dana Knutson for FASA

This is the first TMP rendition of the Larson-Class that I actually like. It looks great. Good work.

Anton Class (FASA)

 

[Bell'Orso]

Wow, this is some awesome work. Kinda makes the ol' Anton grow on me.

But I was wondering, is there any more to come in the way of Baton Rouge era designs or TOS era ships upgraded with the Endeavour-type or Phase-II-type linear warp nacelles?

 

[Vance]

I'm still reclaiming some of the old work and updating it, but there's a lot more of the Four Year's War material to do (which is the Baton Rogue era).. and a few more for the Endeavor and Phase II things to do from the older stuff.

 

[Bell'Orso]

Cool, can't wait to see it!

 

[Kaiser]

Cool, can't wait to see it!

Me too and I like your version of the Anton here

I love the Loknar, but there's no visible navigation deflector.....

I love the Loknar, but there's no visible navigation deflector.....

"Of course, Starfleet had developed operational cloaking devices early on, but they were much more limited than the Romulan devices -- only able to cloak a small part of a starship, commonly the navigation deflector dish or second nacelle mandated by warp dynamics."

 

[Vance]

Once again...

Many Starfleet vessels (particularly those smaller than cruiser or starship class) simply use the deflector shield to act as a navigational deflector. Larger vessels MAY have a primary navigation deflector as a dedicated function piece of equipment, but can also opt to use their deflector shield grid as a redundant system.
