Reminds me of some Voyager sketches: FSD: Starship Concept Art - Designing the U.S.S. Voyager

go ask on hobbytalk.com, a fair few of the SOTL authors and SFX artists from Trek work there, nx01rob for example is Robert Bonchune, i'm sure someone can answer the question for you.

Rademaker also goes by Clawhammer, not only here but several other places. His comment here says "The ship for august is the U.S.S. Spirit (Spirit Class) NX-79995, a QSD testbed." I'm pretty sure that supposed to be Quantum Slipstream Drive.

Thanks guys,

It's the U.S.S. Spirit (NX-79995) A quantum slipstream testbed. I indeed designed it for the calendar only.

Here are some minor specs:

Designed and constructed after the logs and data of Voyager where studied. (2390's)

"Spirit" class explorer/scout
Quantum Slipstream testbed
Length: around 120 meters.
Crew: min: 12 max: 30
Decks: 4 full decks.

Some new and experimental features that are visible on the ship:

* Armor with enhanced energy distribution and asymetrical shieldgrid.
* Rapid fire Pulse Phaser. Pulse phasers with 3 fire modes and 8 output points. (higher rate of fire but reduced firepower.)
* Quantum Slipstream controller. This device will push/pull the Slipstream tunnel towards or away from the ship for a more effecient and less bumpy ride. At the moment 6 of them are in series to do the brute force work.
* Subspace failsafe system. Makes sure the ship stays in the lower domains of subspace and will drop out of slipstream if safety is compremised.
* Integrated bridge with window & viewscreen.
* Core shield layer that absorbs most baryon particles. (Reduces warp signature also.)
* Small Shuttlebay with a drop down door that functions as a landing platform. (Andrew Probert sketched this out for me, I had to modify it a bit to stay within the deadline, but it worked very well!) I hope to show renders of it later this year.

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, on a big format like the calendar it still should have enough detail left to stay interesting. I also love the painting that Andrew made for the calendar!

I dunno if he'll make the rounds back to here, but there you go!

That is a cool looking ship, he did a great job. I hope someone makes a public mesh of her.

Just wanted to let anyone interested know that he's also posted some clay renders of the ship:

I would watch a Trek show that featured the adventures of a ship like that, on large scale scouting of the unexplored parts of the galaxy. It seems like a good way to get back to the good ol' Tng style boundless storyline type concept, by removing the ship from the established universe. ( so kinda like voyager but... good :P)

Best of all it wouldn't be a prequel.
