Hellkite Shipyard

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
A TMP-era bomber? You caught my attention!

 

[Starblazerfan]

Bombers make sense in Homeworld, but Star Trek?

 

[Hellkite]

It was requested by Majestic for yesteryears

 

[Starblazerfan]

Ah, that makes sense.

 

[Hellkite]

TNG era
Lyran fighter

Yep Terra's peoples ​

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
That is a very cool fighter! I admit I had to google for the Lyran people, but that was before I placed my like .

 

[SciFiFan]

@Hellkite is gonna hate me for this but, it reminds me of the Risian Corvette from STO.

Only better.

 

[Hellkite]

No hate here

Lyran's ship and starbase

More like the Risian Corvette took after the Lyran navy (Star Fleet Battles - 1980)

 

[CamSPD]

Hullo there. I was introduced to your work over at DA by kjc, and I have to say you have an impressive portfolio of ideas! One of my faves is the Seeker-class, which -- if you don't mind -- I intend to use in an upcoming fan fiction project.

 

[Hellkite]

Thank you

Feel free to do so; I'm just happy that she is liked and getting used.

 

[CamSPD]

I really like the look of it. It definitely has a "Vesta's kid sister" vibe with the textures and paint job, but I can see the influence of the Dauntless and Intrepid as well. It's a unique design and none of my fellow fanfic authors will be using a ship like it, which I love!

 

[Hellkite]

I'm fond of the Vesta marking as well on her "just sets her off" But we do have a none marked version as seen in the pic

[CamSPD]

Oh, I love that picture by Jetfreak! KJC has suggested I contact him about maybe getting some pretty pictures done, which I am very likely to do once I am ready to get started on the stories. I want to get some other storylines wrapped up before beginning this project.
-----
Only other thing I would want to see for this awesome ship is an MSD! Man, I wish i had the talent to do graphics and 3D art.

 

[Hellkite]

I could try to make one for it never have done it but I can try

Just be warned I use ms paint , it may not be that fancy

 

[Chiletrek]

...Just be warned I use ms paint , it may not be that fancy

Is not the weapon what matters but the warrior who wields it... or something like that

 

[Hellkite]

True

But in this case I need a surgical scalpel and all I have is a rusty sledge hammer

 

[Chiletrek]

Well....

 

[Majestic]

True

But in this case I need a surgical scalpel and all I have is a rusty sledge hammer

Hammer is my weapon of choice haha

 

[Hellkite]

Arcadian class



Yes that is a up swept delta wing she has

"Nova class slipstream replacement "​

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
A successor for the cool Nova class? You sure aim high, but unlike the official new Starfleet ships, you sure know how to make a ship memorable

 

[Hellkite]

What can I say

It's on my mouse pad​

 

[Hellkite]

TLE era Vehement fighter

wip


​

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I love how you truly made it look part of the TLE era, as in between TMP and TNG because it looks very modern human-like and also very much like future designs like the Valkyrie class (ST: Invasion) .

 

[Hellkite]

Errant Class 32nd century


Yes. I know what errant means

Errant - erring or straying from the proper course or standards.

​

 

[Majestic]

Great to see some art based on the new Disco series.

 

[Jetfreak]

The floating nacelles seems to be the new gimmick for these future ships.

 

[Hellkite]

But that is what they went with so to set it in their world design language I had to go with it.​

I like it because it's different and futuristic.

 

[Hellkite]

My reasoning into it in two parts

One it is not a good Ideal on a to have overly complex drive systems

Quote

Two tactically it's not sound

Over forces compaction automation that can fail in combat and spreads out the shield wreaking them.

Holey ship Hellkite.
Not seen the new Discovery past s1, but separated nacelles sound even dafter than folding nacelles. The nacelles are just the "wheels", the warp core is the "engine" - unless Discovery now has independent warp cores for the nacelles. I know I know, 30-something century space magic. But Trek has always been a little different to other scifi in that it tries to explain its space magic, so its annoying when the writers forget how they claim it works. The likes of B5 and Firefly don't bother, and therefore aren't really constrained by it.
Anyway, nice work as always Hellkite. I just can't stand hole in ships.
