Oh No!

That's what I get for not making sure I hadn't skipped any posts...

Still seems a little small for the amount of cargo, etc they'd also need to send down. Esp since those capsules look to be "one way" types.

Thanks for all the compliments, guys.

I'm almost a little surprised that your Botany Bay redesign has been taken as well to as she has, especially given that, canonically speaking, there is no reason that her design should have changed.

But if everyone else is okay with the redesign, then so am I.

Yeah, I know that the official line is that everything up until the destruction of the Kelvin is supposed to be the same as in TOS, I don't really that would keep them from radically changing what different elements would look like. Take Starfleet Academy and San Francisco for example... a totally different approach.

Hey Madman, one question: She seems a little small to be carrying 70 people plus all the gear they'd need to found a colony. Am I misjudging the scale wrong, because those landers look about Apollo-sized?

I was thinking 18-20 each... and the command module up front can separate and land as well, if it has to. Also, the cargo modules are habitable, and I was thinking that they might be able to spin, to provide a little artificial gravity. The original Botany Bay had full on artificial gravity, so I thought I should acknowledge that.

1 deck on each side of the rotating sections, where I'd imagine the cryo chambers are. Behind that is the reactor, to power the ion engines.

Would that be 18-20 people PLUS cargo or without cargo?

Hey guys.

Over in the STXI thread about the official poster being released, I stuck in a few fake posters of my own. Of course they were spotted as fake right away, but I think they look pretty neat.

They were both to tease the Botany Bay model that I have been working on for about 3 months... and this makes the first model I finished since my son's been born. He sat here with me for quite a while when I was making this one.

Anyway, here are the posters!

And the next one... I'm surprised they figured out where the helmet was from, so fast! It's from the movie Red Planet.

And, the Botany Bay! It even has lasers and missile launchers and everything!

So, what do y'all think?

I love the design as a ship, but how does it fit into the NuTrek timeline? When would she have been built?

Without, I would think. The cargo would have to be in the big outer sections, but I'm not sure how they would get those out of orbit, except just to crash them.

Later than 1997... probably mid to late 21st century?

No Lief Erikson conning tower, but maybe some vertical antenna masts to echo its location.
