Vance's Schematics
- Thread starter Vance
- Start date
Oh! That wasn't Aridas.. that was Bill Colley. I was drawing submitted ships for a FASA forum (of which he was the moderator) so that the site could have a consistent graphic, but this one cased him to go complete nutters when I drew that one out.
For my own purposes, I replaced that design with the Takahasi instead.
Takahasi Class Escort (replacement for Harakawa)
I hate to address and already old issue, however, as a collector of information I became very curious as to the Harakawa/Takahasi issue. I was researching your Takahasi-class patrol escort when I ran into the Aridas Sofia patrol action vessel USS Harakawa with the same registry number.
As I understand it (after the Bill Colley issue), the Sofia PAV Harakawa would later be redesignated and refit to Takahasi escort patrol specifications. I hope this is correct. This would also answer my question in the matter of both ships having the registry NCC-3680 -- eventhough not a very important issue, I am a stickler for correctness.
One other thing, Is it "Takahasi" or "Takahashi"? I labeled the ship using "shi" but will correct my encyclopedia (Memory Delta) appropriately.
Thank you for your time and spectacular designs. I have many more questions, but they will wait.

It's a "real world" replacement.
The guy, who designed the Harakawa objected to Vance publishing a schematic of his design, so Vance drew up a replacement.

Mostly code and organizing. I haven't updated the pages with the background stuff recently since I didn't think anyone cared about it.. heh. I should rectify that, I suppose.
Currently I'm working on an Excelsior class saucer... I'm not entirely happy with it, but I'll have a ship making use of that saucer by Monday, though, to fetch opinions.
Saucer experiment for the Excelsior class. This is based on the NX-2000 version but uses a traditional TMP bridge dome. That may change when it comes time to do the Excelsior herself...
