Akyazi/Akula

The Perimeter Action Class ships Akyazi, and Akula were some of my favorite design elements in the Trek Movie era. Even though they were totally non-canon, they had all it took to fit in perfectly with the vessels they were meant to serve with. Thematically similar but with distinct enough elements to stand up and be counted.
I've been working in fits and spurts on this ship for over 2 years now in Lightwave, and thought I had reached a nice viable stage of presentation for a WIP thread. I was fond of several aspects of both the Akula and Akyazi, so I decided to blend my favorite features from either or. There is still much to do in terms of some basic mesh issues, detailing, and texturing, but here she is. Hope this works...


Also, she will be named the U.S.S. McCook, after the ship my father served on in WW II. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Great model, i also like this ship. Only thing i dislike is the sucky bridge (the original design, nor your model's fault). And those advertising panels on it's nacelles are a little strange :-P

Enterprise-E, these platings are a protection against concentrated fire onto the naccelles... The Ayakazi-class is a Patrol-Fighter-Carrier and the Akula is a Patrol-Frigate...
Especially used to enforce borders... Borders towards the Orion syndicate, the Rhiannsu Empire and the Cardassians...
I myself like this idea alot... This gives them a better protected image...

one question. if the shields fail, couldnt they just slice through the pylon holding the nacelle to the ship?

Akyazi is definitely one of my favorite designs. I was building one myself a year or two ago
is the Akula the one with the fugly giant dangly deflector thingummy?

fantastic work so far

Great work... just wondering where the Akula in the title comes in? (Other then your like of it)

Are you planning a build of one? If so, I cant wait. Its one of the best ones.

oh, of course they can... But the platings cover the spillports grille that in turn covers the coils...
Look at all the takes where beam hits directly into the coils assembly...
The outcomes are ... explosive...

That's why the plating covers the naccelles especially...
