Hellkite Shipyard

[thunderfoot]

All I can say is...Gotcha!

 

[Hellkite]

This is an ASW ship. Like a WWII convoy escort. She doesn't need everything a fully equipped explorer does. When a vessel intended to perform a limited range of functions is designed, it is normally optimized for those functions and any additional functions are vestigial at best. I like this idea a lot. Always wondered why Starfleet never had the equivalent of a Spruance class ASW destroyer running about using the 24th Century version of the BQQ-5. Odd that eighty years after Balance of Terror, the Rihannsu can still hide with near impunity. I think the textures should emphasize her specialized role as well. She should have sensor strips all over and there should be no angle you can look at her from where at least three are not in plain view.

back to topic

That is my intent with this

See the pods on the right and left edges of the star drive they are sensor pods that give 360 x 360 interlocking scanning fields Ie the For-site System "Starfleets new Multispectrum subspace based detection system" that and like the original version she has demarcated sensor Probe launchers and sensor plates over the hull

The Peredhil Class simply put a light Tactical frigate so she is like the Defiant class in that she built for her job and any thing that is not necessary to that task are vestigial so he had no Science labs, Hollow deck or bars. She is luck to have a gym and a mess hall. I see her crew quarters to be Spartan like the Defiant class and her Sick bay is like an ER more than a whole than a hospital.

Interesting, so I guess the bridge setup is something like this:

 

[Hellkite]

for the most part

but the tactical II is the subspace based detection system operations station

The Foresight Tactical Detection system is a new way of detecting ships which have a very low emission state or are cloaked. Originally developed for search and rescue operations in areas with a high density of objects or emitters, it was intended to speed up the accurate location and subsequent rescue of personnel trapped on ships which have lost power and have limited supplies of atmosphere or other life support resources remaining. Foresight uses gravimetric variances measured in the nanogram range coupled with perceived differences from the norm in the dielectric steady state of local tachyon particles. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers Research Branch developed a way to improve the original systems through both hardware and software upgrades along with improved FTL field processor capabilities. The Foresight system is very complex and requires significant training to use effectively, so it is not currently in widespread use throughout Starfleet. Nevertheless, it has significantly improved the abilty to locate and track low visibility, low EMCON, and cloaked ships. Several previously unknown Rihannsu facilities have been discovered near the Neutral Zone through the use of Foresight.

Thought we needed some technobabble to support Helkite's new system. Hope this hangs together enough to suit everyone.

Fair enough, I just thought a Tactical II would be good considering it's a combat vessel and incase tactical 1 is destroyed during combat, like it explodes etc.

Sounds good none the less. I really need to get back to the Midway bridge I was making some 6-8 months ago.

lol It's good to see Jane's Defense Monthly is still up and running in the 25th Century.

Yep it would be good to have you back on that bridge in more ways than one

 

[Majestic]

Unfortunately all my Midway time will either be in modelling or through my fan fiction. Two projects that have taken a back seat to my A2FO projects.

 

[Hellkite]

new prospective

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Interesting, that sure should be of great help to any modder that would like to try to build her .

Named in tribute to the 29 men who died November 10, 1975 on the Edmund Fitzgerald

Mark IX Reconnaissance drones

 

[Hellkite]

My take on a Breen Fighter

 

[Adm_Z]

nice! very nice.

 

[Hellkite]

On which one

Which should I but my time in developing ?

 

[Adm_Z]

Oh haha, I like the last too specifically. The fighter looks like something out of "Stealth" and the breen fighter looks perfect.

 

[Hellkite]

"Two "

It's not a fighter it a man pack Recon drone that fits in a MACO Ruck, in fact it' s only a meter in length but is as a micro impulse drives so it hypersonic and as a trans-global range.

But I think I nailed the Breen Fighter If I do say so my self

 

[Adm_Z]

That you did. Oh and don't be surprised if you catch me typing 'won' instead of 'one'. I have been playing some games that allow you to type freely in the game as long as the words are in their dictionary, and numbers are not, so I have been getting use to typing similar words to numbers like won too and tree. Sounds like baby talk.

Tholian Sentry satellite

Tholian Sentry satellite is a unnamed, autonomous and highly destructive system / planetary defense platform which potentially has the power to destroy any invading ship Armed with heavy fire web projection canons.
Tholian Sentry satellite are normal found thru out the Tholian Assembly due to their extremely xenophobic nature.

Note: Extremely hard to detect given it crystal hull adsorbs deflects normal scans when on stand by the hull is transparent which all adds to degree of difficulty in detection

Appears in the Knight rising Fanfic

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
That design looks very close to the canon stuff we know for them, and it would be very interesting to see a model of this ingame .

Keep it up!

 

[kjc733]

Shhhh!! Don't give hime ideas

 

[K_merse]

I wonder how much polygons that Breen fighter would need

 

[thunderfoot]

I wonder how many polygons that Breen fighter would need

Why? Did HK put kjc on a polygon budget? As to 'giving HK ideas', this is a frakkin' fabulous idea! I like it when he thinks outside the box and the end result is something pretty special.

 

[Hellkite]

@ Thunderfoot I did no such thing. Heck it's not even in my vocabulary

@ K_merse fell free to give it a shot and find out

Dominion Fighter craft ​

 

[Majestic]

Now this is awesome, fantastic design HK.

 

[Hellkite]

Thanks I glad you like it my friend

 

[thunderfoot]

I like how you kept to the same stylistic elements as the Jem'Hadar Bugships. Perhaps you should consider a new career in Hollywood. As a CGI artist.

 

[Terra_Inc]

Me lieks a lot, looks like a solid design. We need moar of these...
