Vance's Schematics II

[Wingsley]

Here's a challenge: I'd be curious to see your take on Mike Alexander's NX-1701-A "the Enterprise that never was" from that same page in Starlog #144 in '89.

Vance, great designs as always, but a question about the Yorktown. From the dorsal view the nacelle pylons have a distinct "gullwinged" appearance, but from the side view they project straight out from the hull and then angle downward. Is this just a trick of my eyes, the gullwing look?

Paladin Class

It's actually a trick of the eye, and I had to study Legacy videos a LOT to see what was going on. The 'gullwing' illusion is because the inner part of the pylons sweep forward. They're still mostly horizontally flat, though. (There's a SLIGHT angle there, but not much.)

Hmmm, why do i suddenly think of the Horizon-class?

 

[Kaiser]

Wow great schematics

and you finally make the Jenghiz class finally look awsome to me. Thanks

Huth Class "Fast" Cruiser

 

[Kaiser]

I had idea for a cool TMP era Heavy cruiser :

Refit or Miranda Saucer with a Belknap style neck
attached to a Constitution secondary Hull
but with the nacelles attached like they are on the Belknap

not sure what i name it yet

 

[Vance]

Two Moons Class Fast Destroyer
(Based loosely on the DDF from SFB)

 

[Vance]

Bohuss Class Freighter
Yeah, this was a botched attempt to 'correct' the Lotus Flower to be more reasonable to what she was supposed to be... but I decided to keep the design anyway.

Well, the spherical primary hull and the warp engines at lower right are from my redraw of Aridas's Horizon class... so I guess it stands to reason.

How about this?..

Sorry Vance not trying to steal your thread.

 

[Kaiser]

I cant see it

 

[Kaiser]

ok i see it now just give it the shorter Miranda style Saucer and the usual Miranda Roll-bar torpedo thing and Bam! you have what i was thinking and i did think of a name for it

many thanks jep316

 

[Vance]

Kaiser, what you're describing has 'already been done', so I can get to it (it's really just a drop-bash).. but I want to see what the 'actual' ship and registry is first.

 

[Kaiser]

oh ok Vance i didnt know

USS GADGET NCC-1989 is what id lable it

 

[Wingsley]

Vance,

Have you ever attempted to draw the "Mars Defense Perimeter" ships seen in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"?
