The Valkyrie

Naw naw naw, It's totally great looking as is! But I'd love to see a picture of it in it's final colored and shaded version that isn't an animated GIF. It looks so pretty but we only get to see it for a second at a time! Maybe with a space background...

With finals tomorrow and Friday I won't have any time for this project, but I'll be nice and throw ya the full colored image your way ;)

That's a cool looking ship. I like that you made those warp engine vents black. Harkens back to the TMP Enterprise.

I want to see the rest of your avatar, Frontier. :D

I think the bussard collectors should be blue.

It would look sleeker IMO.

You've got to be kidding...right? :wtf:

No, I am quite serious.

The Enterprise-B had blue bussards and I thought they looked better than the red bussards introduced in TNG.
 
You know, another very interesting possibility would be to encase the nacelles in ablative armor, like the highly protected warp engines on DS9's Defiant. That would give this ship an even more interesting look, while opening doors for it as a destroyer or battlecruiser, depending on its size.
 
I don't know if those have been confirmed to be collectors anywhere. This is a post-TNG design, so I'll be going with that color scheme.

I ended up being bored in class, so I whipped up a dedication plaque.

True they never said "these are the bussards" on the Ent-B, but since all Starfleet vessels tend to have common elements, I think it's reasonable to presume those were in fact bussards.

Nice looking plaque.

Any reason in particular why it's not "USS" Valkyrie?
 
I'll pay you £500,000 pounds if you do a seperate design with my modification ideas on it.

Actually i'll not pay you a penny cos I aint got £500,000 pounds but if I did have the money i'd pay you to do it, thats just as good, right? ;)
 
I think it looks perfect as-is! It's got just the right amount of detail without going overboard.
 
Hey Flux Capacitor!

After you get caught up on your own obligations, do you think we could see some different angles on what this baby looks like? I'd like to see the underside...
 
It has taken me a littler longer than I thought it would to get around to the orthos of the ship and to finish up the scene I had planned for my original sketch, but here's something I whipped up last night while it was fresh in my mind. Its the larger of the ship's support craft and perhaps the next generation of Federation runabout.

^^ I would love to see a half-saucer design like the Valkyrie for the TOS era.

And just imagine a TOS shuttle/mini-starship design based on that Basilisk!

Back to the Valkyrie: that's what Voyager/Bellerophon (DS9's "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges") should've looked like. The only ship in VOY that is competitive FC's ideas would be the Delta Flyer.
