USS Avenger NX 81299

Been really busy but I thought I'd take the time to post my revamped Avenger Class starship. Build from the ground up. Haven't had 5 minutes to learn Blender like I want to, so I've stuck messing around with Sketchup. Still a ways from perfect but I'm proud of her considering 6 months ago, I had no experience modeling!

Nice to see you back at rendering. The Avenger looks awesome, just stay with it the ship is coming along very well. How are you doing on the Nimitz Class Support Craft Carrier?

The Nimitz is sort of on the back burner for now. We just moved to a bigger apartment in our building so we are still sorting the mess.

I am determined to finish Avenger. I have to many unfinished projects and I'll be damned if Avenger is one of them.

I lost all my math calculations, but I believe she is around 30 decks and almost 1100 meters long. I could be wrong though.

Thats cool! Hopefully when you finish The Avenger you will be back on the Nimitz Class.
So what other projects do you have on the back burner if you don't mind me asking.

Avenger is my cruiser, and Nimitz is my carrier. The problem I seem to have now is that I think Avenger is bigger than Nimitz. Oh well I'll figure that out. I also have an unnamed destroyer similar in style to the Dauntless NX 01-A. I'm also trying out different scout/escort models that haven't made it past initial designing. Then there is the tactical assault craft (fighter) that hasn't gotten off the ground yet as I want that to be perfect.

Well that makes since the Avenger is suppose to be a Battleship or Battlecruiser and it is one of those ships that needs to be armed to the teeth. Then the Nimitz can be as big as you want it to be. It all comes down to how many Starfighters and Support craft that you want the Nimitz to carry.
Looking forward to those other projects when you get around to them.

One new concept i will be introducing with Avenger is decoy lifeboats. These lifeboats launch at the same time as normal lifeboats. The decoys can maneuver towards enemy ships, lock on with tractor beams and explode. This will distract enemy ships in an attempt to give manned lifeboats more time to escape. Decoys are identical in size and shape and using the same neutronium hull armor, cannot be scanned. Being the same size, they can be deployed in different configurations as to lack any sort of pattern. This makes it very difficult to target one or the other specifically.

Decoy lifeboats thats actually a good idea, I've would of never thought of something like. That will give the ships crew a fighting chance. I wonder what other ideas are burning in that brain of yours!

Again good idea!
