Hi guys, well work pretty much stalled on my Defiant model. I just had a complete brain freeze on it, so I put it aside and started on another ship. I came across this picture online, but I couldn't really find any real info on it... so if anyone has any details, I'd appreciate them!

Anyways, onto the pics! Here she is next to my uncompleted Defiant. This is only a few hours worth of work, so there's a lot going to change. I'm having issues with the curves on the top of the engineering section. I'm not real sure if this will be a copy from the drawing, or if I'll just use it as a guide. I haven't decided on a number of decks yet, or even a name. Right now she's somewhere around 450m long, which I estimated using the escape pods as a point of reference. Two shuttle bays, and a non-separation saucer.

That's a really nice start. I like this design a lot, so it's nice to see it being done in 3D.
Suffice to say, I think a lot of people would be happier of they'd made the game instead of Cryptic. It was supposed to have been more of a Trek-type thing with more stuff to be done inside the ships and more Trek-type stuff, as opposed to the more or less hack and slash game we wound up getting. Plus, I agree, I like a lot of the concepts for the earlier attempt better than the ships Cryptic is putting out (especially the newest ones.) But, unfortunately, they went out of business before they could complete it.
The ship is very flat. It's 65m tall, almost 500 m long. So Enterprise length, Voyager height. I like it though, it's more sleek this way.
I still don't have a name, or class yet. I thought about Archer, or Eaves, but both are taken. Any suggestions? If nothing else comes to mind, I might use Holden, Monaro, Vauxhall or something similar, as I'm slightly obsessed with Aussie cars.
Ooh, that reminds me. I'm thinking of something like this for the bridge. Thoughts?

I remember that thread...
Yea probably not.
I figure I better give this thing a name before too long, so this is what I came up with. Hopefully that number is taken... it was completely randomly picked.
Messed around with some materials for the hull, but I'm not quite sold on it. I don't know if my lighting is off or what, I'm gonna have to mess with it. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to switch to Max before long. And I re-used the escape pods from the other model.
I probably won't have a chance to update this one regularly, but I'm hoping that next time I will have a substantial amount done. I'm getting married in October, and I'm hoping to have more time to play once that's over with.
The ship looks great so far. :thumb:
From a married man to a future married man: believe me when I say you wonAât have more time later.
The updates are excellent. You can go very close in renderings and see perfectly all the details added.
Yeah that jumped into my head too. Another fine ship. Nice!
I'm not so sure. I know the future Mrs Mitch wants to have a baby in the near future, and we're thinking of buying a house soon. The only good thing there is that I'd like to find a house that has a bigger garage to house all my toys and tools, and an office. I have a bedroom dedicated as an office right now, but she's got her ironing board and some other crap in there, so it's not really mine. I want to build a new computer system, with two monitors that I can mount on the wall, I just can't do that now.
Onto the ship! I started on the 'bridge module'. I decided to make it a separate model and just paste it in, just in case the poly count gets too high. I figured out how I want the layout of deck 1 to be. Bridge, turbolift on the right, and on the left, a hallway that goes to a conference room, a bathroom, and the captain's ready room. I decided to make a Voyager style ready room with a huge window. I got the idea looking at Madkoifish's ship. IMO, every ready room needs a bar and some palm trees too. I wanted to map out the layout so I knew where to install windows, which I probably will put some on the sides, so you can see out from the conference room area at least. At the top of the steps, there will be a desk with some extra chairs, and the couches are leftover from a previous project, I will eventually make a new single long couch to go on that wall. Oh and more lights, cause it's super dark in there right now. It looks more light a lounge than an office haha.
I hate to "cheap out" but I might reuse walls from my Defiant build. I loved them, and even though that model stalled, I see no reason to give up on them.
