I tried to find his website, but my browser doesn't find it.
Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.
Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.
We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.
Madkoifish? I found this and what seems to be a wordpress mirror.I tried to find his website, but my browser doesn't find it.
I thought someone already didI have no particular need or use for it, but the Koernerprise is so pretty that I'd love for someone to make it.
Not necessarily, at least compared to some STO ships I've seen. There are a few elements that are a little more detailed, but it seems to be more in-line with the original shape and feel of the 1701 than the JJ is.Its not a particularly clean and elegant ship, with a busy industrial heavy-machinery gothic thing going on.
Thanks! Can't seem to find Thunderfoot's port, but I might be able to convert Wiley's version myself.Yeah, Wiley made on for Bridge Commander, and good ol' uncle Thunder ported her to A2 way back.

I always thought the Koernerprise would be perfect for a gritty and dark series of Trek movies, ala DCEU. Brooding, glum, humorless, intellectual bangingyourheadagainstthewall, all that stuff... Its not a particularly clean and elegant ship, with a busy industrial heavy-machinery gothic thing going on. I think its a tougher masculine looking vessel compared to the curvy slender JJprise.
It definitely has the proportions more correct. The JJ-prise has the nacelles too close together, for instance, though it looks like that was corrected for the JJ-A. It also has the red bussards. The blue ones on the JJ-prise never looked right to me.Not necessarily, at least compared to some STO ships I've seen.

So there's a reasonably accurate, and (probably low-poly) Disco model in Star Trek Timelines.
I wonder if there's any way we could rip models from phone stuff, hmmm...
Just think about how satisfying it would be to blow it to piecesUgh, I would rather see the JJ-Prise A from Beyond than this ship. Even the Shenzhou would fit better with any fleet, the Discovery sticks out like a sore thumb when trying to fit it in a TOS group.
But, but, but... spiny thingsBut, but it's so ugly....
You know, they said the segmented saucer would make sense, then they showed the spinning bits and the segmented saucer still seems unnecessary.But, but, but... spiny things
To be fair, the spinning saucer and the star destroyer stardrive are unnecessary. Also, the spinning parts of the saucer suggest the Crossfield class may have been designed with the dash drive in mind, that this class may be specific for that project, which explains (and hopefully isolates) its unusual design.You know, they said the segmented saucer would make sense, then they showed the spinning bits and the segmented saucer still seems unnecessary.
On the other hand, the Glenn and the Discovery are specifically stated to be the only two ships with the drive, which means the USS Crossfield doesn't have the drive. Though it's possible the writers are as ignorant of naming conventions as everything else, I suppose.To be fair, the spinning saucer and the star destroyer stardrive are unnecessary.

It's also possible the Crossfield was designed to test all the other systems on the ship before a dash drive would be added, therefore reducing the risk of a design flaw messing up the experimentOn the other hand, the Glenn and the Discovery are specifically stated to be the only two ships with the drive, which means the USS Crossfield doesn't have the drive.
