seems everyone's doing startrek ships :)

i myself have done a romulan ship already and thought what the hell might aswell do something for the federation so having spent all night not being able to sleep i finally got bored with other stuff and "planed" out a design

based on the klingon bird of prey i decided to design my fed ship around the bird of preys overall shape its going to take time to do this one with all the curves and hull sections but heres the basic blocked out design

any C&C would be great

    Interesting look. Seems more like a mix between the Prometheus and a Vor'Cha, though. Not the B'rel.

    You know, I agree with Aresius that this looks more like a variation on the old D7 / K'Tinga / Vor'cha battlecruiser design lineage than that of the much smaller B.o.P., what with the head being just as flat as the neck and the ends of the rear wings sporting what looks like warp nacelles instead of disruptor cannons. Don't quite see the Prometheus influence, though.

    But whatever, Federation or Klingon, cruiser or scout, this is looking interesting.

    the head, neck and wings are all "blocked" out atm making this a basic shape and the final model wont be flat at least i hope not, i'll model in the beasic hull etc then upload a updated render so you can see more of an unflattened design :)

    Aha, well, then let's see where that goes.

    I think the Prometheus is in there somewhere, because of the spear-headed design. Straightforward and pointy, y'know...

    well lets find out, its lotto time lol

    heres the idea planned out sadly i'm not sure if i'll be able to continue it yet as its hitting over 55,000 polys and my damn computer aint able to hack it much but i should be able to finish the basic model i'd be glad to give it to someone to do a high poly model with or i need to buy me a new computer lmao

    Okay, I can see the B'Rel a bit better now, but still, I think it's closer to the Vor'Cha.

    doesn't look fedish enough, doesn't look quite klingon either, maybe it's just some weird alien race out there.

    That's 55k already? Looks like you need to go back and redo it to get rid most of those polys. BTW you should try some sort of bird name for the class, like warhawk or eagle or something.

    Starfleet doesn't need a huge battlecruiser with Neg'var-Class leanings. There's been better designs that've stayed smaller, more elusive, and generally truer to the point of a bird of prey with few necessary changes to already established runabouts/shuttlecraft.

    :rolleyes: Only because you think that's not necessary it doesn't mean it is no necessary. And I see no Negh'Var influence anyways...

    Here's how I see it: The previous design, whether actually Klingon or Klingon-inspired Federation, was far too smooth in the end. This one, for a Federation design, is far too blocky. Please round off those curves on the saucer section. I do like the general direction this is taking, though.
  • metalsnakemetalsnake5 Posts: 0Member

    well with this design i'm trying to keep it low poly and hopefully it kinda follows the style of a pointy camero car at the front end and its not finished how ever i've added some details around the hull so hopefully it'll give it a better look though if it still cant soften the curves i may redo the saucer section

    anyhow heres a couple of renders to look at

    just added the warp nacelles though i'm not sure if they'll stay like this or whether i'll improve them and the saucer i've still got the phasers strips and photon torpedo launchers to add in and the deflector array though at the moment this might totally get redone again and again

    Cool look. I like how that turns out. :)

    The pylons need work. The straight versions don't really flow with the ship.
    The saucer really needs to be more rounded at the edges.

    Interesting evolution of the Intrepid Pathfinder-Class.

    the what class ?? never heard of that one i'm afraid this came out from my head with no references used so simularities are coincidental if anything i'd say this is more a class called "the what you end up making at 6 in the morning" :P :)

    are we nit picking about Federation ships again, if so i can go on and on and on on certain designs, mostly by that weird guy Eaves and his stupid designs ;)
  • metalsnakemetalsnake5 Posts: 0Member

    speaking of those designs i'm attempting to do one of them now but yeah i deffo agree with oldmangreg on my design and the intrepid pathfinder class there nothing alike mostly cos theres no chance mines going to be smoothed surfaced lol imo if it has phasers photon torpedo launchers and warp nacelles it fits into star trek and its so easy to make things have those hehehe
