Hi all its been a while since I posted something here but I am working on a new project now that I want to show. it is a fighter with a Star trek theme. hope you like it.
very nice concept, really like the shape, has a lot of pretty angles, and the nacelles with the integrated guns and the big impuls thrusters - all very sound, maybe these nacelles would look more harmonic angled with the wings, just for a try
there arent a lot of trek fighters concepts out there yet, this is definitly a good take on it, great work :thumb:
Nacelles aside, it doesn't feel very trek-y to me, far less Fed. It's a nice model, just doesn't fit for me.
But, it's not my model!
That said, I actually prefer the roll-bar version. The other one is almost too sleek. It looks a bit too plausible and, say what you will about Trek, their ships are always more Rule Of Cool (with assorted technobabble to explain why the RoC works by their physics) than engineeringly (is that a word??!?) plausible.
It still looks Trek like to me, the smooth sleek lines still feel like quite a Trek/Federation style aesthetic. Though with the roll-bar now taking on a warp grille is that? It does seem to be taking a bit of a departure from what we understand the look of warp nacelle technology to look like, I guess you might be going for the look of some new advanced warp tech that the Federation might be experimenting on or something. Still I quite like it, the shape definitely works, it is only really the new warp engine config you have going on there which is making it look slightly un-Trek like in my own opinion.
Well the thought behind this is that it is a fighter built around 2550 and is a prototype fighter using a engien core based from the quantum slipstream technology that voyager tested in the delta quadrant. so I decided to try some new designs on the nacell to accomidate that engien configuration.

Front half reminds me of the V shuttlepod
This last one is a idea I am playing with. instead of having warp nacell pods I was thinking the fighter could have an arce instead.
feel free to let me know what you think.

feel free to tell me what you like or dislike about it :P
