Hellkite Shipyard

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
The Seraphim looks to have lots of internal room for Fighters, and I like that since there are no dedicated Carriers for the Federation in Trek canon... maybe except for the Akira class, but even that ship is kinda small so only a few squadrons per ship I suppose.

Do you have any plans for your ships?

 

[Hellkite]

The Seraphim plays a role in the Midway Rpg

and the Fighter are from her and the rest of the ships are from what I see as a Carrier group built around her

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I think it is a good idea to make a custom fleet to support the Seraphim, and I'm glad that it has her won types of Fighters as it gives a unique feel to your carrier.

Maybe Starfleet will build more Seraphim ships and maybe their Fighter designs could eventually replace old designs (maybe the Peregrine) and to complement newer ones (as the Valkyrie and Gryphon)... it is that or it may be depending on what region of the galaxy the ships are, so maybe one type of Fighters could be adapted more easily to certain conditions near the region of space they are closer to.

And variety is always nice .

 

[Hellkite]

some like this is what I have in mind {not to scale}

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
That is an interesting fleet pic, maybe someone will be able to make 3d models of them for ingame and/or bauty pics following your great designs.

I am now liking very much the Peredhil Class, and for what I re-read, it is a very useful class of ships, because it would not only be able to destroy cloaked ships, but it might be very useful as an attack ship, to complement the Akiras and Defiants. Or is it just a specialized ship for your fleet? like to be near your carrier and maybe some starbases?. Either way, it is very cool.

Keep it up!

 

[Hellkite]

It just not specialized ship for my fleet they are part of the fleet,
the pic was as example to what a Carrier group would look like not limited to

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Thats is good to know, and it opens many new cool option for the whole of Starfleet .

 

[Hellkite]

Forgot to put this on the first post so long ago

If anyone want to use any of the ship, Fighter or bombers here feel free to do so all I ask is that you site design credit that all I will ever ask

Scout and Reconnaissance shuttlecraft

[Adm_Z]

Thats sweet, and a very fitting name IMO.

 

[Jetfreak]

Looks great Hellkite! I really like the balance of clean lines and rough edges. The organic touch is very fitting as well, can't go wrong with lethal weapons that look good in the process.

The design actually reminds me of Neucom planes from Ace Combat.

 

[CABAL]

Oooh, I really like this one.

 

[Starfox1701]

Nice a Starfleet Marine Raptor

Think of her like a sport bike motorcycle fast and agile. in fact that how the pilot sits in the cockpit just like on a super bike

The Ideal is to use them like the scout bikes of ww2


for the record I'm not happy the dorsal view I will be reworking it but it dose give you some Ideal of were its going

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I'm glad you could make an upper view of the Barracuda! it looks better than I expected, and it sure looks like they can fit on any ship's shuttlebays.

I can also see that due to it's size, the enemies would have a hard time trying to hit it, so the size+speed+armor, that ship does have a good chance to survive it's mission .

 

[Majestic]

Very nice HK, quality work as usual.

 

[Hellkite]

Thanks

Now I have to wait for our resident commanding M.A.C.O.'s " Intrepid"
Approval

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
And good luck with the approval, if he doesn't, well, you can send him to test the ship nevertheless in Dominion territory .

 

[Atlantis]

Looking good!

One thing: Would a starfighter pilot really sit as if on a superbike? It's very restrictive in terms of being able to look around...

A bike goes from point to point on pre-built roads, and the rider sits ON it. A starfighter pilot is INSIDE the craft, and (especially one in battle) needs to be able to turn and manoeuvre at the blink of an eye, so (if you'll forgive the broken metaphor) you need to be able to look around in that blink of an eye...

Given that the cockpit hood/window is above the pilot, it would make sense that the pilot be able to look up easily. In that position, you can't.

 

[Timberwolf1701]

is there a model of the Peredhil class somewhere so it could be used in a mod or two ?

But this is not a Fighter but a Scout

what you said would be true if you only have position 1 (pos 1) But there is room in the cockpit for position 2 (Pos 2).

both are used

pos1 issued in high warp were the tunneling effect would for negate the need to for wide view points it this position the Scout pilot would be focused on the froward view and instruments during the FDL flight

position 2 wound be used at Sub-light and observation mods which would make full use of the bubble canopy that and each pilot's helmet has display projects the sensor images onto a monocular lens in front of the pilot's right eye. sensors in the cockpit track how the pilot positions the helmet and relay this information to the turret control system. pilot can aim the sensors by simply moving his or her head

like the US Army's AH-64 Apache

Sadly nope Syf started on but never finished it


But feel free to make one . I would love to see it

 

[Timberwolf1701]

I might just attempt it!

 

[Hellkite]

that would make me real happy

 

[Hellkite]

Romulan Thrai class fighter

Thrai means Predator in Romlan

 

[Majestic]

Nice Romulan fighter you have there.

 

[Hellkite]

thanks

Thought I take a brake from the Federation

I thinking of doing a tholian fighter or may be a Gorn

 

[Majestic]

A Gorn one would be interesting.

 

[Hellkite]

I'm not to happy with this one

 

[Starfox1701]

what is it? Isee no id markings?

 

[Hellkite]

Gorn

it a concept some what loosely base off of STO gorn
