She's nothing spectacular or interesting, and I honestly don't have the foggiest clue as to what to name it, but I'm pretty sure it's done. I kicked around the design concept about 4 years ago and haven't touched it since. This weekend, though, I found myself with a little free time and decided to play around a bit. If it looks like she needs anything more, please tell me. And if I goofed anything up, PLEASE tell me.

Suggestions for a name would be cool, too.

Simple clean design, I like. Good job here.

"Navajo-Class" (Scout)
"Nis'gaa-Class"

nice one. When I looked at the first picture, this made me worry that torpedos may be the only weapon, but then I saw the pulse phasers.
From the look of the impulse engines, this beast must be a danm fast beast.

My suggestions:
Mjolnyr-class (named after the might hammer of Thor from the Norse myth)
Abaris-class (named after the all-penetrating arrow from the Greek myth)
Fragarach-class (named after the powerful sword from the Celtic myth)

to me it has a slight BSG scout design (old school BSG) I like this ship

kborak · 07-06-2008, 06:08 PM

@insanity your right taking a second look at the perspective view it does kinda resemble a stubby BSG.

Really like this ship - it's an interesting design however there is one thing about it that seems off. It looks like the warp and impulse engine proportions are reversed - usually it's the nacelles that convey a sense of power over the impulse engines.

Obviously it's your ship and therefore yours to design as you see fit but if I were to change anything on it I'd probably eliminate the top 2 impulse engine exhausts and instead use them as 2, single capacity sideways berthed, shuttle bays. Obviously it wouldn't be suitable for the likes of runabout sized shuttles but perhaps a type 9 shuttle (like Voyagers).

First off like the design. Especially the tucked under nacelles. It always seemed structurally/tactically bad to put them so far out on thin wings to me.

The only (hopefully constructive) criticism I have is that the area you have for the torpedo launcher seems a bit small for the torpedoes and mechanisms for it. From various shows I've seen they were at least man-sized objects normally. Grant from looking at various Wikipedia pages, they say they have "mini-torpedoes"... but again that is just a wiki page.

Again though, good job overall.

	The association of light and dark being good or evil is irrelevant. For the greatest of evil can hide within the most beautiful light, while the greatest of good emerges from the darkness.
