U.S.S. Voyager

This is an attempt at a lost era Intrepid class starship. This is what the Intrepids predecessor might look like from the timeline just after Excelsior. The so called "lost era".

That's an interesting idea in the first instance. I'd never thought of an Intrepid predecessor before.
Your design itself, does have an Intrepid lineage about it and to my mind also harks to the Lost Era with certain features. The nacelles, the upper domes, etc.
I like too the run through design - flat pack. A simpler, earlier version of the Intrepid design me thinks.

 

Yeah, I like this too! I especially like the fact you gave it Oberth Nacelles, to make if feel more like a science vessel.

 

Looks like to me it could be a Transport design

 

Thank you mirandafave, that's exactly what i was going for although you put it far more eloquently. MadMan1701A the Oberth nacelles were the only choice considering the size of the vessel, I just dressed them up a bit.
kaisernathan1701 nice to hear from you. And yes the ship could function as a transport. I gave the ship double wide bay doors for duel landing or disembarkation. Though it's primary function would still be scientific.

 

I quite like it... and I'm not easily impressed

I never even thought of apre-Voyager style like that.

 

Very good looking ship.

 

Thank you jamestyler and ancient. Been working on a Miranda style version of the same style, though i changed out the impulse engines to a more Ent-B type.

well like the design it seems to ft the lost era pretty well. certainly makes a change from the excelsior variants normally seen

 

I like it.

 

Very fitting with the Lost Era too and in line with your other design too. Very neatly done. Compact and robust looking.

 

This is great. The Miranda needs an update. It is an old tired design.

 

Both designs are excellent - great job!

 

Thank you all for the comments. I have roughed out the deflector/torpedo housing and added some detail to the aft section.

Agreed lovely update to the Miranda/Avanger Class

 

With advice from Starship over at scfi-meshes i rebuilt the imp-engines for voyager. Looks more intimidating i think.

Very nice and with the impulse engines being that way it be easyer to install a Weopons or Sensor pod Roll Bar

 

Like those tweaks.

 

Made the final revisions on the low poly version. Re-scaled the bridge and built the final saucer rim. kaisernathan1701 as i am working on the Miranda version of this same ship, providing a roll bar is possible but not necessary.
