Interesting.
Similar to the way you'd add a second engine to the end of a train to add some push force in this case you'd build a longer "train" and add a second vessel in the middle to distribute the force?
These are all the old Earth Coalition ships that were made in the old thread. Since the old thread has no images anymore and some people asked for other orthos I am posting these here. I also have several other images of klingon, romulan and perspective images of various ships but I will keep with the main capital ships for now:
And yes the Atlas is some kind of train of the spaceways. Collecting cargo and parts and bring them to major construction sites where its relative small size is better suited then a Y or J type freighters.
Like the Mantaray and Delta ships. And the Monarch has an almost Excelsior style to it. I don't remember much from your previous thread, so are some of these designs yours or are they inspired from a design journal or another source?
The construction vessel looks kick-butt ! :thumb: Can't wait to see more of it, hopefully it will turn out into another masterpiece. For the moment renders that you've already seen, Flanker
For others, I made some small changes on the underside, especially the intakes.
I love that Monarch class myself. In the past folks have tried to fill out the NX-01 with secondary hull add ons, but your FASA-like take with a trailing hull is perfect.
Thanks everyone for the kind and encouraging words. Haven't been ableto do much this week but hope to finish a design this weekend.
And wonderful job Adam! You really nailed the feel of the Atlas just as I had it in my mind. Makes me wonder why I even make orthos It would be nice to add your 3d models in the manual as well.
Yup nice stuff, the revisited version (save for the part that I told you about) looks way better. It's a bit clunky but that's what I like about the Ent era.
Spinning Cutter model video. Nothing new done for the ship but at least now you can get a feeling of the ship. I altered some bits due to problematic geometry but Flanker accepted them
I'm not sure about the NX refit. It depends on what time this refit has gone active. Before, during or after the Earth Romulan war.
The Monarch will be fleshed out for sure.
Finished the Mercury (side profile) with a small 4 person shuttle. The Mercury will probably have a 8 men crew and is armed with a dual pulse laser along with advanced ECM, tracking and sensory packages.
Haha you see, the deflector should stay Oh and it's not that I was talking with Melak and forced him to say it, no I did not do that, not on windows messanger !
Anyway the ship looks really cool, already gives me ideas for textures and small details. I will surely work on it once I have some more free time !
Nice update to the Mercury class, Flanker.
And as I was saying before, the NX refit is supposed to be what the Enterprise looked like in the 5th season.
The dish is somewhat put in the hull like the NX so even so a variant could have a different configuration in that regard.
And I understand what you mean JohnnyMuffintop I will give it some thought and see what I can do about it. Currently quite busy so don't have a lot of time to spare for this project.

Great work either way.

You probably know my opinion on using my models in the manual
Almost finished your Cutter class BTW

You gonna include the NX refit and/or ships based off it's new secondary hull?

Although its a shame that the deflector is completely hidden.
