Not to mention RTFT

I covered this dock ring a short time ago. There logicly is no reason for 2 ships to dock other than a complete failure of both ships transporters and shuttles. I have hard points on the belly set up for connection if it HAS to happen. As well the ring on the saucers upper section can be used for larger ships via inbilicle. No way in hell would I ever design a dock ring for ship to ship unnder any sort of overhang. Such as the entire half of the saucer section. Technicaly if it has to connect there the imbilicle would render your comment moot as well. The idea behind that ring is for small transports to connect to offload crew or junk As well as space dock. Anything of any importance would come in via transporter or shuttle or other rings on the ship.

I might be, possibly be, convinced to do a ring on the saucer. But I doubt it lol.

Either way havent done much of anything over the last few days, well nothing really visable.

I need to readress the neck launcer and some of the fiddly details. I might be taking a short break from this to work on other models, right now Im messing a bit in 2d stuff since I have noticed my drawing skills have been pretty suck of late.

Gorgeous starship! I like the bridging of the details from TNG to TNG movie era design.

MadKoiFish · 11-26-2006, 12:35 AM

Details on the sensor thingy. The gold part needs some work since I had to rebuild it.

sorta been considering doing something else with this area but eh lol.

MadKoiFish · 11-26-2006, 02:36 AM

Some more small changes. Adding details and shapes to make the thing a little nicer looking. As well it adds some nice lines to the overall ship.

I decided to redo the impulse asemblies on it as well to make it look less "round"
And yes the little things nacels are still rough shapes. You can see the struts intersect the grills and other ugly crap. Ill be working on those in a few. then the fun of fixing the neck area on the main ship then cutting in the negitive versions of this thin ginto it. Which I think will involve duplicating the smaller ship then reversing the faces and attaching it all then connecting those parts to the hull. THen modeling to make it look more like a dock area instead for a exact negitive of the yachts upper side.

Man I wish I could see all these update pics....But all I get is "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
Never mind as soon as I posted this they appeared...embarrassed or what.

Are those additional forward photon torpedo tubes, pulse phasers, or something else? If they are photon tubes, how much interior space does that leave for passengers?

MadKoiFish · 11-26-2006, 03:57 AM

Went over this about 9 pages back? Or rather last time this thing appeared. Mr. Ugly here should lear up the size issues. There is plenty of room based off of newer launcher designs. Crew isnt much, so quarters arnt too much of a worry. Mostly the idea is if theres a evac or what not there is one ship with warp and defence abilities.

Ive got some segmentation to deal with on the impulse area.

To review as well the tubes on it are mainly for quantums and micro torps such as seen on the defiant. The tubes are merely weapons based. The larger neck tube is for probes etc.

So in other words, if the captain decides to go for a spin around the solar system, and the ship gets into trouble, ****'s gettin' serious for the Omimaru...
