Ship Classes for a Trek RPG

[JJohnson]

Hi folks,

I was working on creating a wiki for a sim where we're going to use a lot of non-canon ships for each era. For example, in the TOS era, I added in the Saladin, Hermes, Anton/Miranda, TOS-style Kelvin, Loknar, etc. For the Movie era, I added the Miranda, Excelsior, Excelsior study models as individual classes and the Bozeman study model.

For TNG-VOY (2363-2379) I'm going to add some classes, but haven't begun doing so at the moment. I plan on adding Galaxy, Nebula, Sovereign, Cheyenne, Springfield, New Orleans, and several more options.

I'm just wondering if you might be able to show me a good list or add on as comments, some 24th century ship designs that would be good for using in an RPG environment, or even TOS/Movie era designs that would be great to have as options for sim players.

Any guidance / replies with new ship designs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do you like the Probert or on-screen Ambassador?

 

[Bry_Sinclair]

IMHO the on-screen version is far superior. Though if you liked the Probert design then you could integrate it into the fleet as well just called something else.

 

[JJohnson]

So far, the Sabre, Norway, Cheyenne, and Springfield are up. My plan is to have a ship list for each era, then have a ship page with more detailed info, deck plans (where available), and ship interiors to help with writing

Hey! I‘m a little confused, to be honest. What‘s the relevance for Fan Art with this one?

 

[JJohnson]

I was asking for some 24th century fan art ships to be used in a non-canon Trek sim. I thought this was the best place for it, but I could be wrong.

For example, are there:
TOS-style, Movie-Ent-style, Excelsior-style, Ambassador-style, Galaxy-style, and/or Sovereign style versions of:

USS Centaur (originally an Excelsior saucer and two underslung nacelles)
Miranda/Lantree/Soyuz/Saratoga/Antares types
Preliminary Miranda class
Peregrine (Miranda with upswept wings/pylons)
Constellation (saucer, thicker with shuttle/cargo bays around, 4 nacelles)
Durrett Class
Nebula
Wilkerson
Loknar
Larson
Remora
Chandley
Kiev
Nelson
Derf
Ptolemy Transport (Bradford fills the Movie-era role)
Antares from DS9 (Miranda, minus rollbar, plus triangle pod on top)
Federation-Class Dreadnaught
Galaxy Dreadnaught (so, imagine a Sovereign with 3 nacelles, ventral phaser cannon, mega-phaser wings and dual photorp launcher dorsal saucer-side, little fins on the outer warp pylons, etc., then the same for Ambassador, Excelsior, etc.)
Constitution-Variant from DS9 (saucer, dorsal, two nacelles upside-down on that)

You should take this. I think its a really good design and the person who did this is clearly very talented....cough*

Ah, okay. I think I get it now. I don't think if it's the “best place” on the board to ask for something like this, but I have no idea what could be a better fit.

I guess it goes without saying, but if you end up using fan-created ships for this RPG wiki, just make sure to credit the creators. Thank you!

Norsehound was doing miniatures for something similar…there’s a contact.
