Another Vote for Century class, looks quite stunning. I was also a bit partial to the Soulwolf class

Well, since most people claim the games are non-canon also (I am undecided on the matter) I would go for the Imperial Hawk from KA.

While the Soul Wolf is a fine design, the non-canon ship that gets my vote is the Excaliber

Next is the Klingon D-70 Khin'Vagh
I've tried to model this ship, but it's shape is to compex for my current abilities.

Cool ship, it might be a good one to make for Project ACOM.

The Dawnstar class has been my favourite for a long, long time. :worship:

EDIT to add: I also really like SJ's Davids class lately. Just makes more sense than the Surya class. :D

wow , stacks, that is a killer ship, very nice!

did anyone ever see some drawings that were made for a Klingon-federation hybrid vessel? (meant to be made as one of those joint-project things, like the Euro-fighter and the tri-nation frigate).

Have only seen it once, but it really caught my imagination (and has been impossible to find again)

I've posted the pic you provided on the Project ACOM modder boards and the response has been positive so far, so you may very well see this ship made for A2 in the near future :)

Hmm which one? I think I remember seeing one in one of the Jackill books...

It would be cool if the ship was made. How would some one get to the Project ACOM site?

My Favorite Non-Canon Starship? Majestic, you are truly an evil, evil person. Here I am trying to kick the flu and there you go giving me something else to sweat over.

How dare you? :cry:

Actually, one comes to mind and I'd post the model of it, but I don't have it on this PC (at the Studio). Once I get to the house, I'll try to remember to post it.

It's a Romulan T'venverex-class Destroyer designed for SFC3. I think the guy who created it was wanting to make a "Prowler" (from HALO) for SFC because this little bugger was 99% undetectable. So long as you avoided speeding through dust clouds, explosions, etc. (Normal Cloaked Rules), BUT this cloak would actually work INSIDE Nebula Hexes and you could use the specialized Tri-Cobalt Mines while cloaked.

You could actually sit right on top of your enemy the entire game and they'd NEVER know you were there, provided you knew how to avoid being "flashed".

The guy who designed it only released it for a little time, but had to remove it since the ship itself pretty much altered every single game mechanic that applied to it, in violation of the EULA. (Plus the TCMs had the explosive yield of a supernova). It was a very nicely done ship, albeit a bit of a power gamer's dream.

It looked like a flattened Shadow from A2. The wings were stretched out so it was nearly as wide as a Sovereign was long, but as short as a Saber. The "head" module was reduced in size to make it appear to have a small, specialized crew. Two barely noticeable Warp Nacelles actually hung beneath the body itself, as opposed to the side where most Romulan Designs have them.

Since this was designed as a "Stealth Bomber", there are no Energy or Ballistic Hardpoints, outside of the two TCM Minelayers at the rear of the vessel.

The ship was too powerful thus it was in violation of the EULA? Or am I reading that wrong?

I think he was saying the ship had some modifications to the game engine mechanics, thus it then violated the EULA...

LT,
I don't really remember (as i say I have looked and failed to find) but i think she might have been called the Khitomer... the problem being that other fan ships by the same name have been bandied around since...

Typical Romulan ploy! They are without honour!

Little known fact: the actual name of the Scimitar?

....

....the Reman Warbird Enterprise!

:D

I'm sure if you ask the Romulans they have a slightly different story...

Can just imagine them electing a pro-praetor for the Sol sector....

"You may be running it for the moment... but it IS ours... we just haven't taken delivery yet"

"after all you're ONLY human, and your Vulcan allies are merely a rebellious SUB-species of the empire..."

Mine is the Battlestar class ship/station from the UEMC federation in the federations mod. I'm sure there is a picture somewhere of it. Second would be the Raptor class from the same group.

Edit: I found an old picture of it. I don't remember if this was the last design. Syf would have to say for sure. I had to find these pictures off of the old Microverse thread on AFC. They are almost 3 years old. Can't believe it has been that long.

Sorry CF... eww yuck.

One of the enduring nice things about the ST ships are the streamlined and smooth shapes of the vessels (toatally un-necessary in the void of space) but that is just nasty.

Sorry, not exactly constructive but am afraid it is honest, would far prefer to see something more along the lines of an ISD wedge with the docking bays to the sides, or even something more Mon Calamari cruiser... at least slightly shaped...

Fave non-canon ship?

It's a tie between the Century Class and the Excalibur Class, both look elegant and powerful at the same time.;)

I have to agree, IMO the Battlestar class is an almost laughable design. But if slightly re-worked, it might be ok.

Settle down guys, you may not like the design but no need to rubbish on it.

My favourite non-canon design is the Midway class, and not the one in the RPG but the design Syf was modelling for the fan fiction I never got to complete but may go back to one day. She has anything a 24th century class would need and then some. :)

I love the look of Mad Dog's Reman Praetor Class, as well as Raven Night's Reman Katan and Saif Class vessels, all three of those ships are true warships of Reman design, and I'm so glad that I've obtained permission to use those awesome ships in my Full Race mod for Armada 2!
