Thanks mate!
here's a little update.
Thank you!Ooo thats lookin really good
Chances are bad, because ive modelled so many details, that a port would require a complete recreation.That is a sweet design. Any chance you make a lower poly version for A2?
Actually, this is pretty nice. I may post this in the ship's decription, if im allowed to?Ya know, it is a real treat to see Herr FahreS design something. I am a long time fan of all his work and always greedy to get more of it. It sometimes makes me scratch my head trying figure out what he is up to, but it never fails to make me go "Ooooh!"
About those nacelles. Maybe this will explain some things. It is my interpretation but perhaps he will be kind enough to allow me to share it.
'Near the end of the 24th Century, Federation research teams made significant advances in the fields of metallurgy and warp technology. New manufacturing techniques for warp coils, coupled with better warp field control software and faster more efficent computers, allowed Federation engine builders to reduce the size and number of warp coils required to move a starship faster than sluggard Light. This in turn influenced the design of starships by allowing shipwrights to utilize interior space required by engines previously for additional crew spaces and larger more efficent ship systems. As an example, when the Galaxy class was first proposed as a complete design to Starfleet's BuShips Committee, it was viewed as almost a luxury liner due to the large amount of interior space allocated for crew and their families. Less than a century later, the same class of ship was seen as similar to a slave rowed Roman Trireme galley compared to the latest designs.'
Ah, itll look badAwesome job. I am curious as to how the ship would look with the pylons with a reverse sweep (sweep towards the front).
Awesome work, FahreS.
That is a nice looking ship. I have to say, it looks better then I originally thought even. 3 thumbs up.
Indeed an outstanding design Fahres, you've certainly outdone yourself on this one.
Thank you all a lot!they look really good FahreS, full of l33tness!
Wow, the detail on the shuttle alone is awesomesauce.
If ported, this would make a great BC addon. Recently, they had managed to place the command center in a shuttle. Allowing you to fly it directly, and the windows are transparent too.
Looking forward on the finished product.
btw, if you want some name choices, try "Directrix"
wow you guys do surprise me, heres much more going on than on legacyfiles!
But still nobody did comment on the registry number!!^^
I can't speak for everyone else but I didn't pick up on it.
Is there a reason behind that or just artistic block?
And i need your opinions again
Should there be a registry
USS Voyager NCC-74656-A
?
Or would that be too much?

Sorry, but I just don't see her being Voyager-A.
Giving her that name is unimaginative at best and feels very forced. She may resemble Voyager a lot but I just don't see it happening.
An all new name would be better seeing as this is supposed to be an Intrepid derivative.
Name her whatever you want to name her. Use whatever registry you'd like. Someone somewhere will not like whatever name and registry you give her anyway for any number of reasons. If we do not like her name and registry, we'll change them around to suit ourselves. If you make her available for A2 D/L I'm going to name her...
USS FahreS NX - 100001
Why? Because I'm a modder and we do this sort of stuff all the time. Ta DA!
Thank you, that was very helpful!Typically any craft, Captain's Yacht, Shuttle, etc... would share the registry number of the ship it's attached to, and I think a 5 digit registry number is appropriate, I myself tend to shy away from the 9 series in my own works, but that's mainly because of the timeframe I'm working with, so I guess it depends on when in the Star Trek timeline your ship came to be? I could easily see if having a 9XXXX series number if it was constructed/conceived in the 2390's 2400's...
I wont call it intrepid class II or something xD, but aint the enterprises derivatives too?Sorry, but I just don't see her being Voyager-A.

nice idea, and i like the description "intrepid evolution" better xDAnother option would be giving her (a new Voyager) a different, yet similar registry. (e.g. NCC-97465) That way she has a registry that matches the time frame yet pays homage to the current Voyager.
The one thing I have always found odd in Star Trek, is that in the 200+ years of the Trek time line, Enterprise is the only ship to keep its registry.
In my opinion, she is not really an Intrepid derivative but, an Intrepid evolution. Of course it is all open to interpretation, or what the creator says it is.
haha, lol, lmao, i believe i have to submit this ship for a2 just to see that happening xDName her whatever you want to name her. Use whatever registry you'd like. Someone somewhere will not like whatever name and registry you give her anyway for any number of reasons. If we do not like her name and registry, we'll change them around to suit ourselves.

Thanks, but i just ask, because i personally am not sure if i like the 74656-A or not xDYou should name your ship whatever you wish, it's your ship and you can do what you like with it regardless of what other people think, everyone has their own opinions but you shouldnt let the anyone disuade you from what you want to do just because they dont like it
In my opinion I rather like the name you have chosen
so two like the idea, one not?I think it would be very appropriate.
Besides which, the whole Voyager-A concept might be a good one, but for all we know Voyager remained in service another fifteen years. If nothing in the Delta Quadrant killed it, nothing in the Alpha Quadrant's going to stop it either....
Well, remember that the Enterprise-D survived Borg attacks, but were destroyed by Klingons. So who knows, something in the Alpha Quadrant can maybe destroy Voyager.
Anyway, I don't mind if that ship to FahreS is called after Voyager, even though the other suggestions in this thread is also good.
but aint the enterprises derivatives too?
I'd have to take the name out of my Achilles class .ODF (since all ships of that class in my personal build are named for modders, and seeing USS Payne, USS Jetfreak, USS FahreS and USS Avon in formation together ingame is something else to behold)
*must resist urge to integrate modder names*
More than one registry is always a preferred option.
I can see how you'd want to make this Voyager-based, but there's no need. I say give it a separate registry and identity entirely its own. I personally hate Voyager, and anything affiliated with it, I tend to avoid. So if I didn't know this was a FahreS design I'd say 'no' to it based on Janeway and Neelix rather than on the merits of the design itself.
Although to be serious, I'd like to recommend the name Cygnus class for this design. Something about the overall shape of it looks very swan-like to me and the elegance of this vessel is understated yet visibly appreciable.
They just keep getting better, FahreS. I can't wait to see the final product.

Janeway is an admiral, dont think that the voyager can stand a fight without herWell, remember that the Enterprise-D survived Borg attacks, but were destroyed by Klingons. So who knows, something in the Alpha Quadrant can maybe destroy Voyager.

I agree, Voyager has also always been my personal favourite, even when watching all the series Voyager was my number one favourite on top of the others, as I know it is also Majestics favourite series in my eyes the ship has a really nice sleek look thats totally different to the others that I find more appealing
lol after thunderfoot, now you do start calling me Herr Fahres, Mr. Jetfreak?^^lol, not all all. That's called "ships of the line" or "lineage" so to speak.
Here's a couple of class name and ship name suggestions, take your pick Herr Fahres.
- Directrix
- Apalis
- Delphinus
- Erne
- Asterozoa
- Ravia
- Sepia
- Lapata
- Geopelia
- Orcinus
- Wyvern
- Skyskimmer
Others are free to suggest too, like SFK's "Cygnus Class". If possible, a poll as well.
Thank you, and this ship will definitely have different registries, but maybe not Voyager. Am still not sure...Why not have a few names for it, with the Voyager-A being in there, several registries plus a template should make all happy if you are inclined to go that far Fahres.
But either way I look forward to it and will have to get the PC version of Legacy sometime in the future if only for this ship.
Further to Thunderfoot's point, I'd also code a USS FahreS if this one were available for A2 --I'd have to take the name out of my Achilles class .ODF (since all ships of that class in my personal build are named for modders, and seeing USS Payne, USS Jetfreak, USS FahreS and USS Avon in formation together ingame is something else to behold) but I would definitely welcome a ship of this quality, with its distinctly post-Nemesis design. It'd look really good being escorted by a formation of Courageous class and Planck class vessels.... PotD idea!
Now THIS was unexpected and truly a fine sample of lulz.
*must resist urge to integrate modder names*
Wow thats one of the greatest ideas ive ever heard, and i feel kind of honoured xDResistance is futile....
As it is, the Achilles class starship is so overpowered in my game (with pulse phasers AND quantums) that I only let myself use them six at a time with escorts, like proper ships of the line, so it makes the "mod team" formations that much more enjoyable. And it holds my interest late in the game when things are pretty much decided except for the last few turrets and cloaked units--darn, the USS Moerman needs repairs! Better send it home and have USS Merse move up to take its place in formation! And so on.
