| New from ASR SFE and BATA:Feds and Klingons
Well I was asked to create a heavy cruiser that was more science oriented and based on ASR's FEARLESS-class hull form. This project was to update the aging AMBASSADOR-class USS AKAGI with a new look and new ship.
The result is the new YUSARAGI-class heavy cruiser. More general purpose or science purposed ship, but carrying some of the same lines and design as the enhanced heavy cruiser FEARLESS. (FEARLESS-class is attached for comparison)
This is version 2 and like it's FEARLESS cousin it to has the gravity-planing sub-light drive system rather than the ion reaction engines (impulse). The gravity well that is projected in front of the ship is part of the Dimensional-warp node system (D-warp allows for faster speeds and shorter times by traveling in the higher bans of sub-space...:P).
Also newly developed is the new VENTURE-class general purpose frigate, which debuted in the CD5 PHOENIX thread but will be developed out here. I'm hoping to replace ASR's aging CHARON (the INTERPID), the NIGHTENGALE, and PATHFINDER-classes with this new GP-FF.
Finally...a new Klingon heavy cruiser for ASR. The thlaw'baS-class or IRON FIST will hopfully replace the aging VORCHA heavy cruiser and possiblly with a little more beefing up, the N'GVAR battlecruiser.
C&C are always welcome...enjoy. |
