Rogue-class Shuttlecraft Carrier

This is a design that I've been working on for about 5 years, and while I've nailed down the basic layout, I have yet to actually finalize the details and proportions. So, with a month off from school I am not homework-free and actually have some full days to myself, so I'm actually going to get one of these babies done!

Here is the latest sketch, followed by a top view I came close to completing back in 2003. The final ship will basically be a mix of the two.






Basically, she's a heavy cruiser with a large through-deck shuttlebay sandwiched in the middle. Ships can arrive and depart via the fore and aft bay doors on either side of the ship as well as the bay doors on the dorsal hull (although those may end up being runabout pads.)

The hull arrangement makes for a compact profile making her a tough target as well as able to withstand heavy fire with a low energy drain on the shields.

Anyway, I'm debating on whether to show a WIP or to wait until I have a full orthographic spread to reveal the final ship. Let me know what you think I should do.

Nice! I'd really like to see a close-up of the hangar in the front, between the saucer and the endineering hull -- you could fit in a lot of interesting details there.

Cool concept. Will you be adding more drawings with other views?

All I want is a tall ship and a star to steer her by...:)

I think I commented on another board about this mate. She's a very cool design.
