So I figured something out in the process of trying to recreate the Guardian cruiser from STO: how to make a Galaxy-esque stardrive. So now, the ship I showed earlier has been updated. Coloration isn't final, but this is mainly what the design will kind of look like

Very creative mate, much better than the STO inspiration design you used. :thumbsup:

I think the bulbous shape makes it look friendly which seems appropriate for a medical ship.

I like it! Always nice to see a good medical ship design. I was a fan of the upgraded Daedalus design that was the U.S.S. Pasteur as well.

Forgot I had these. I don't normally do TMP kitbashes (as they've been done to death) but I noticed a lack of kitbashes that used Oberth parts, so I remedied that.

So does anyone remember that funky looking station from Star Trek Elite Force that was the Scavengers' base? I decided I liked the idea and went crazy.

That;s an unusual station/kitbash. I remember the scavengers base well one of my favourite levels from that game.

That's an interesting design. Different. I kind of like it. Looks like a new type of warp drive in the making.

Ditto on the new type of warp drive comment. It's different, I like it!

I is indeed different. Kudos to you for originality. I will definately keep my eyes on this one.

That is pretty cool. I love the dual neck. I love Klingon designs and this really meets the mark. I might suggest not trying to make it so blocky, add some curves into it, like the B'rel has. :D

Looks great. You really did an amazing job. I was skeptical of the nacelle design at first but after seeing it fully textured, it fits nicely. :thumbsup:


A different perspective is that without the secondary hull, it would make sleek escort. ;)

Very interesting! The Oort looks almost like a future variant on the Obereth

So I'm starting to have an odd problem with the Oort. The rear torpedo launchers are further forward on the model than the forward launchers, and it caused a problem where the rear launchers would fire instead of the forward launchers when the ship was facing in the direction of an enemy. I realized that is because the rear launchers are closer to the target than the forward launchers, so I thought I'd try to restrict the firing arc of the weapon. Now, the rear launchers and the forward launchers fire, except when the ship is facing away from the target. I have no idea how to fix this problem.

So I tried to make the Olympia Shuttle from Borg Invasion 4D. This is the result so far...

Hello:
I never knew about Borg Invasion 4D, but the shuttle design looks interesting, a change from the shuttle designs the canon Trek have given us, so I think is welcomed :) .

How many polygons does it have so far?.

Looking good man. Perhaps you could take some artistic liberties and slim that secondary hull a little.....it is really the only part of that ship I don't like. :lol2:

Seriously though, very well done.

Hello:
That is a very interesting ship design, clearly it has all the Starfleet feel :) .

I agree with SciFiFan, you may retouch the secondary hull a little... because even if the extra room is always useful, you know that Starfleet likes some fancyness on their ships ;) .

Keep it up!.

Really love these ships, especially the fighters-- they are gorgeous and I'd love to use 'em in my personal mod.

I also love your kitbashes-- have you ever considered trying to do Luna variants, using the variant pods from Nebula-class ships? I've been wanting to see those for some time, particularly if there was a rollbar without the observatory pod on one. With a 'bare' version of the Luna available, the player could upgrade the Luna into different functions, such as the Standard Luna, the high range Tachyon detection Luna, and the weapon pod (like the Akira) Luna.

I hadn't yet, but with Aad releasing a ship pack recently that included the Luna I could probably do it!

Which Luna variations are you looking for? I know you want a no pod version, but what other ones would you like?

Taking requests?!? I love it!
  1. The Akira weapons pod instead of the astrometrics observation pod would be great (it's considerably smaller and could be the 'start' point for a Luna)
  2. A saucer-pod like the one on the Phoenix would be awesome.
  3. The Nebula's 'arrow' pod.
  4. A pod that suggests it might be part of the Manheim Center technology.
