2Dnon canon TNG and beyond Era Starships

Flanker

Having been away from the design front for a while I thought lets make a new start with a new thread based on TNG Era and beyond designs.

This would become a cruiser sized vessel with a large interchangeable module (similar to the Nebula). Will think about more as I progress with the design. Already started working out the sketch but made some changes here and there after showing it to some friends.

Also thinking about adding some kind MSD with a twist. A color version.

That looks great so far. Would love to see more views of the starship.

Nice work so far. Keep it up

Hmm looks like old stuff to me
Anyway the ship looks really cool, a bit like madeinjapan's trek ships. Looking forward to seeing more !

Hellsgate

Sweet. I love the clunky shuttle in the bottom right, too. The "Bullfrog-Class Hopper".

Minor update on the Nebula like vessel:


Initially intended as a gunship for the federation it turned out to non trek. Even so here it is:

Still have some work to do on this one.

ITA’s Max XD XD XD

TrekMD

Looks quite interesting.

Bmused55

Fantastic, I'm eagerly waiting for the completed article and drooling over it

Rekkert

Wow, It looks awesome!

BorgMan

If I were you, I'd ditch the way that shuttle platform sticks out of the hull and just extend it into the curve; gives you more space to store stuff too...

Flanker

Small update with a added phaser bank (manual control station, power bank, phaser canon and reserve targetting sensor) and small fuel station and some more technical rooms.


Bmused55: thanks it will be a lot of work and will require me to change stuff as I go. After posting this image I am not happy with the rear section mechanics so I will change that later. But I want to finish sickbay first.

Rekkert: thanks this will be a long time project.

BorgMan: I see what you mean but I like it the way it is If I 'extended' the hull it will get too chunky. And considering this is a TMP to TNG era I consider this a hull upgrade and I already have made the technical MSD and Profile for it

Great progress!

Just gotta admire that love for details.

Bmused55

I think maybe perhaps, the shuttlepod is a wee bit to big?

IIRC, it's barely taller than a Data or Work.

Flanker

Thanks eveyone and you are right Bmused changed it since the smaller shuttle is 2.4 and the other 2.7 meters in height. Also changed the heights of the door and walkways. I think I will take a look at finding some good references for the workpod since it would be nice to add in there.

Small update: the sickbay (probably will do this for any upcoming updates until I have enough rooms to fill the ship)

somacruz145

Cool stuff :thumb: Gotta love the small details such as the space suit and books on shelf. Keep it up !

Aresius

wow, that's quite amazing work. Nice.

Flanker

Thanks! I am trying to add as much detail into it as possible.
Only a minor update this time: the computer core and part of the stellar carthography.

Aresius

Nice.

somacruz145

I could add - cool The cartography room is such a cool idea I might model a room like that (with holographic maps and other vfx of course)

Bmused55

Sensational to say the least
What app are you using for this? Illustrator or Photoshop?

Flanker

Thanks both it certainly is a fun project even though it takes time. I am using photoshopCS2 as my main workplatform I sometimes make a sketch of certain machinery but the drawing will be completely made in photoshop.

Have no updates for the moment though, added a phaser battery and started fleshing out the carthography some more but thats it for the moment. I am planning to add some kind of holograpic projector in the lower room (2 rooms to the left of the main carthography room). Those smaller rooms will be used for input and analysis while the big room is used for stellar research.

Flanker

Ok update time:

Aresius

Nice update that is.

Bmused55

Absolutely awesome!

XRaiderV1.7

nice work.

pepperman

Superb work to say the least. Was wondering if you are have any non-Federation ships (e.g., Romulans, Remans, etc) in the arsenal?

Flanker

Thanks everyone. Haven't got a lot of time due to work and such but I am still working on this. As a update I only can show the bidge being finished though:

dawnie

Nice work here (pick's jaw from floor)

somacruz145

Nice bridge although I think it is a bit too "flat" - a recessed or leveled area could be nice (for the captain's chair or the side consoles).
