Jimi's Neverending Trek WIP's

[Jimi James]

I'm notoriously bad for starting a project and never finishing it. I've got countless Trek Designs that I've done over the years, and of all of them, I've finished about two. So I figured I'd post some here.

Most of them pretty much speak for themselves, but if you have any questions about any of them, then feel free to ask and I'll try to clear up any confusion.

Are inline images like this ok? If not, I can post direct links.

Anyway, enjoy. I'll post more as the week goes on.

very nice so far Jimi

[Jimi James]

Thanks. I've got several of those like the Steamrunner, that are upgrades or variants of canon designs...or at least I have several that I started. Such as:

I lengthened the nacelles, locked the nacelles pylons in place, and tried to make a better connection between the bottom of the saucer where it meets the engineering section. The latter detail isn't right just yet, but at least the ship doesn't feel as saucer heavy as it used to.


And

For the Nova variant, I've mixed details between the two canon versions and smoothed the nose because in some pics it tends to look misshapen where the Equinox's auxiliary deflector was filled in.

wow......

[Aresius]

looks quite interesting.

[Jimi James]

Thanks.

A few more.

Here's a direct link for the Galaxy class upgrade.

Ok, so I didn't change anything on the last one, I just really like this variant of the Excelsior class

[Hellsgate]

MMMMMMM. Love the Akyazi-Class & the Longbow (Talon-Class/Venture-Class) upgrade projects! F'in sweet! Though, with the Akyazi-Class, I'd add a little something to the underbelly behind the saucer section. It still looks a bit bare. Add some Landing gear? Perhaps some crew bunks? Training Holosuites? Escape pods? Shuttlepod bay? Cargo bay? or,..you can install improved aft-facing launch-tubes that can launch both torpedoes & probes, launch tubes that can mechanically enlarge/shrink as necessary to accomodate either purpose (like the station from ENT's "Dead Stop" episode.)

Here are a few more.

So I think that's it for the canon variants. So next time we start in on some original designs.

[Dark Angel]

Very nice, I look forward to more updates.

Here's an original design; The Vitalogy Class. Designed as a replacement to the aging Excelsior class, the Vitalogy takes many of it's design cues from the Enterprise-B variant of the Excelsior class, as well as the more recent Sovereign class.

This is one is my pride and joy, so to speak. It's gone through so many versions and upgrades that I've lost count. This version though is pretty close to how I want it, but this pic is still an old one.

This is what I have for the new Vitalogy class so far. Nothing major has really changed, but I went back and tweaked a few things like the RCS thrusters, altered the nacelles a bit as well as the pylons...I'm planning on making a new bridge module as well, but haven't gotten to it yet.
