This is the start of my new 3D-Project - the USS OBERON (LUNA-CLASS) the flagship of the "Sector-Fleet-Bajor", a Task-Force of 40 ships under the command of Rear-Admiral Valand Kuehn in the year 2381 (Design by Sean Tourangeau).
Sean has given the ship a length of 454 Meters but for my FF I use a 574,6 Meter-Version of this Class, because it has another role there, as in TITAN.
The mesh so far...

Did you know my FF ICICLE, that you can definitely say that it doesnAât make sense...??
I guess... No!
For example: If you will still have an exploration-vessel itAâs not relevant if the ship is 454 Meters long or 575...
But: If you will have a carrier (thatAâs NOT the role of the LUNA in my FF - itAâs just an example) with a fighter-contingent of (let me say) 40-50 and maybe also some CAS-Shuttles, you need a minimum of space for it...
ThatAâs (and the need of a landing-strip) the reasons why aircraft carriers are 332 Meters long and not just 100 Meters... And belief me: That makes sense...!!
So please belief me: It really MAKES sense, that this version is bigger as the original...
Many thanks.
Yes, the secondary hull is a B.... to work with...
See above.
I have not the will (and I will not do) to start a nerdy discussion about the details of my FF here...!!
This is basicly a 3D-Thread, NOT a discussion-thread for Fan-Fictions.
So please say something about the mesh, if you want, but donAât bug me with something like that.
Fact is: The greater version MAKES sense for my FF. Over and out.
@All:
In the future I donAât tell you any detail about my meshes. I just post the pics and tell you, what IAâve done - and thatAâs it.
Ya know, when I was a kid I had the ERTL TOS Enterprise model and the TNG Enterprise model. I would pretend that the TOS-E was a scaled up version of the original so I could play with both of them together. Then I grew up.
Anyway, I get that this is your fan fiction, but calm your nuts when someone asks a simple question.
pilot: i'm coming in hot
flight deck controller: what are your thrusters broken?
pilot: no
flight deck controller:then use them. slow down and stop bothering me!
but pack in some more equipment,bigger crew, better weapons, larger hangar space, more powerful engines, bigger fuel tanks and i can quite agree with your 100m larger argument, as technology advance ships and aircraft have historically got larger (until they reached points where progress meant becoming smaller). the design looks cool and other than the angular nacelles all the shapes flow together quite well. those panels round the front of the saucer are a cool feature.
that's the ship of Capt.. Riker, right?
very nice
