Gorgious fan-designed Fed ship

[Death from the Sea]

BTW, one of personal trek favorites.

not bad, I can see it looks to be a cousin of the Akira class, this is something that Starfleet would actually design.

oh, and Patrick Degan I gotta say that was pretty funny.

It has SELF REGENERATING HULL skin, a MULTIPHASIC DELFECTOR CANNON which also acts as the primary weapon - able to fire a plasma ball of extreme destructive power, and finally, a GALACTIC DRIVE.
This is what is generally known as "whipping one's skippy".

which are recreation areas (dining, swimming, lots of vegetation, trees, etc..), and the unique bio and regenerative properties of the ship enable the interiors to be 'customised', as furniture etc. can be 'morphed' out from the walls, floors etc..
She can land on planets, go underwater etc. and has a compliment of ICOPRELIATOR CLASS Fighters in the large rear hanger.
This bit doubtless was typed one-handed.

it is funny because it is true

holy fuck, that clogged up my DSL! Talk about graphics heavy!

That looks a bit like where the Reliant lineage might've split off into the Akira.

I always figured it was the evolution of the Miranda and Centuar sometime in the early to mid 23rd century. Before the Ambassador but after the Centuar.

Phoenix Archetypes is great, ain't it? Dak really knows how to design and make some beautiful ships.

[Iceberg]

The Akyazi looks alittle like the NX in one of the pictures. o.O

The design predates the NX-class by many years; it was first published in Jackill's Ships of Starfleet Vol. II: Perimeter Action Ships in the early 1990s.

We were asked to comment on the ship, not the lighting composition of the pictures which showed it. If someone asks you to comment on a car, do you comment on the lighting of the picture you're given? All that matters is the shape of the model itself, and that shape is both ridiculously simplistic and butt ugly in this case.

I agree. Whatever the merits (or lack thereof) of the actual mesh, the design is butt ugly. But that's not what kojikun said. He criticized the execution of the design as much as he criticized the design itself. That is what I had an issue with.

Why do you have an issue with it? I said it was ugly and that it was a ridiculously simple thing to make. Is there something WRONG with me saying that it's fucking easy to make?

[Howedar]

You also said that the texturing was shit and the lighting was horrid. Don't try to change the subject.

[Patrick Degan]

Basically a TNG-era version of the Miranda-class, but a sensible design nonetheless.

And how the hell does that change a damn thing? So I commented on more then just design, big fucking deal.

Oh, and wait, whats this? The first post asked, 'what do you think' not 'what do you think of the design!' So I was entirely justified and not overstepping the original intent of this thread. I expect a public appology.

It is a big fucking deal. As you've just shown, you don't have any idea what the hell you're talking about. You aren't defending your statements, you're just saying "its not a big deal."

Concession accepted.

HAHAHAHA!!!!

You can go fuck yourself if you think you're going to get an apology out of me for your own screwing up.

[kojikun]

I expect nothing more from you.

So back to the topic on hand before this thread gets HOSed.

[JME2]

I never said I could do better, dumbfuck. I have nothing to back up because I was stating my opinion on the ship, AS THE ORIGINAL POSTER REQUESTED. So fuck off, Howedar.

So in other words, you presume to judge someone's techniques without knowing said techniques yourself? Kiss my ass, you self-righteous piece of shit.

Play nice! Play nice!

True.

True.

Funny, I thought nice was when we didn't use multiple nukes on each other...

Lets try that again, this time remebering to type the tag correctly

[EmperorMing]

That first design looks more like a fighter. Stick a bubble canopy on it and call it such.

A ship should resemble a *ship*, not look like a fighter.

I refer back again to the Akyazi-class design. It looks very distinctly shiplike, and more importantly, very distinctly Starfleet (amusingly, we now can place it in a line of design evolution with NX at the beginning and Akira in the 24th century, and lo and behold it FITS!), while at the same time being quite different from anything seen in Trek before (published in 1992).

Oddly, I didn't like the design much when I first saw it in the early 90s, I thought it was too small and flat to be a "good" Star Trek design. Of course, now, with hideous skate-shaped monstrosities joining the canon of Star Trek on virtually a weekly basis, the Akyazi-class design looks like one of the best Trek designs, canon or non-canon, ever.

Being a horrible visual artist, all of my attempts to draw starships have ended in pitiful failure.

However, nearly four years ago while planning the movie Death of Angels 6 with Matt "IceFire" Schuette, I got a modeler/animator on SB, Omar Chaudry, to kitbash a Sovereign from Rob Caves' old website into a crossover series design I'd once made. IceFire then gave it the proper hull textures for a reason about to be made obvious.

I present to you the Solaris-class:





That said, most of the ships I've designed mentally are rather ugly. But they weren't built to win beauty contests, they were built to destroy enemy naval elements, and one can't make asthetically-pleasing naval warships when one's multiversal commitments in the Great Game Story Debate means trying to keep up with the Walls of Battle of powerful states like the Ottoman Star Empire (a Webertech ATL created by Her Grace the Duchess of Zeon ).

Best ship I've seen so far in this thread if the one Iceberg posted. That first ships is.... fugly.

"Nice" on SDnet is saying "excuse me" before you say "fuck you."

Ah it's ok.

Hey how'd you like my fighter/gunship design btw?

[Death from the Sea]

Steve why is your Sovie-kitbash green? Looks like it was made by the Romulans or Klingons.
