Schematics made with Vance's toolkit

I should've posted my thanks sooner, everybody, sorry...

The link to the album worked fine.

The weird thing is that it's only THIS thread that's affected...

Well, Sean is a hard act to follow, but here is what I came up with using the same Jefferies sketch as my starting point. I see it as an late 21st Century Earth ship, perhaps even an alternate design for the Valiant (I was never completely satisfied with the version I worked up a while back). The major departure I made from the original sketch was the inclusion of the sublight engines, which seem to be missing from the original concept drawing. I still see it as a WIP and will likely be tweaking the design a bit more in the next few days, as well as adding name and number to the hull.

Wow, thats a great take on the design! I love it!

 

[Bernard Guignard]

This is why i did put the links to the photobucket-albums up. I conversed with someonr having the same problem some time ago, and for him that worked.

That was Me and thanks alot it works

Thanks!

Looks nice

Ok, here is an updated version. The name Cochrane-Class is a nod to Rick Sternbach's Cochrane-Class Bonaventure in the Star Trek Space Flight Chronology. The dates given are from a Trek Chronology I've been working on in my spare time & probably conflict with both canon and other fan chronologies. The hull markings are partially based on the markings on the US Space Shuttles. I used the Enterprise as a reference, which has slightly different markings than the working shuttles.

Feedback is always welcome!

Lokks great, although i would not use colored symbols on a otherwise black and white schematic (If you would do the entire sheet as greyscale, you could use gif or png image format, which don't suffer from compression artefacts, which are especially noticeable on lineart).

I started my own thread for my pics here: http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=51619

There aren't very many, and they aren't all up yet, but I invite you all to come take a look if you haven't already...

Looks even better Sean

Class 235 container transport

"Federal Movers", eh? You should have put "We Move Anywhere" on the side.

 

[AmbassadorKosh]

I gotta ask, is that Federal Movers ship a part of the Federations "rag-tag fugitive fleet"?

When the Borg wipe out the Federation and hunt the last survivors (with a plan),... sure!

Thanks! Good point about the color, I hadn't considered that.

Edit: I updated the above image in grayscale.

I'm going to cross post this with my own thread, simply because I think it turned out so well, and I know there likely are people reading this thread that haven't been to mine.

Inspired by the description if the "battleships" in Diane Duane's "The Wounded Sky", one of which also appeared in the early "Rihannsu" books as a "Defender-class destroyer". I took some liberties, but given the vague nature of the description I don't know how many. To give you a sense of scale, the saucer section is approx 130% the size of a Constitution-class'.

 

[EliyahuQeoni]

Ok, this is a second shot at a design I posted up-thread as the "Lewis & Clark." I was never 100% pleased with the design as it stood, especially the neck between the primary and secondary hulls, so I did a bit more work on it. Oddly, it was initially the Daedelus style nacelles that I was dissatisfied with, but those are one of the only things I didn't change yet!

Edit to add:And I noticed as I added this image that I--as I did with the original--forgot to add the sublight engines. Oh well.. you can expect another update soon!
Edit #2: Ok, its fixed. The sublight/impulse engine is there now, though mostly hidden behind the warp nacelle in the side view.

Nice looking Schematics there : EliyahuQeoni and darkwing_duck1

 

[EliyahuQeoni]

Here's another one. Its a variation on the Justinian design posted above. I see it as a slight predecessor to that class and an alternate to the NX-Class from ENT, which is where I got the idea of naming the initial run after the U.S. Space Shuttles. As an added bonus, I actually remembered to include an impulse engine this time!

 

[Sean_McCormick]

Another great design! The "named after space shuttles" theme was also one of the things, that i really liked about Enterprise (without of course the name Enterprise). Nice to see, that you also included the soviet shuttles in the list.
