Needs more blue

2009-04-20T05:20:00.000-07:00

Been pretty busy with work, but heres some nacelles. I even built the coils inside, you can kinda see them. There is still a lot of details to add to them and where the cutout is i still need to round off the edges. eventually the buzzards will have some insides to them too.

more viper wip

2008-09-01T22:35:00.000-07:00

Been working on this today, still a WIP so the name plaque and chair are jsut place holders, the paneling is just different coloured polys i thought would look interesting in the render test.

EDIT: the top two images are the latest, still the chair and the engine covering are placeholders as are the guns, which are just mk2 guns for now.

The Eye

2008-05-29T23:07:00.000-07:00

Had this idea stuck in my head this morning as I awoke from my slumber. Inspired by the Eye of Jupiter from BSG. Took 10mins to doodle it out hahahaha.

my battlestar

2008-05-18T19:26:00.001-07:00

i can jump on the bandwagon too

"Battlestar Zodiac"

2008-05-15T02:00:00.000-07:00

Have not touched Trek designs for quite a while now. Been into BSG a lot these days. Here's my take at another ship which survived the Fall Of the 12 Colonies. The Zodiac and her crew were out on a deep space exploratory mission when the Cylons attacked the Colonies.

Work is still progressing on the ship. Still not too satisfied with the Connecting arms to the flight pods. Will Post more updates soon.... Galen

New Majestic

2007-03-27T01:43:00.000-07:00

We have begun conceptualizing a new version of the Majestic Class Starship, so expect some updates to come soonish. Although at the moment I am re making one of my older ship designs which will be drawn up with all the specs much like the runabouts and the Legacy itself.

What is the ship I am rebuilding, well it will be a surprise, once I get the main hull done and details underway I will be posting pictures.

So there are TWO new re designs coming soon !

More Pics for the Month

2007-03-24T03:59:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, I've made more pics of the Legacy. I'll try some non trek pics tonight... I know, i know, its getting boring...lol . Nice to post them up here anyways . Do leave a comment and enjoy!

Brand New Renders

2007-03-18T20:12:00.000-07:00

Been toying around Lightwave for the last 2 days. I still can't make new models, but I sure could render scenes and images now, basic ones anyway. This is my 2nd batch of renderings. Still more to come too. Also, been starting work on the Legacy class tech manuals. Thats gonna be our new long term project. The Orcus fighter redesign is taking on a new direction. Hopefully, we could get some images up soon.

Stormcrow Variant Runabout

2007-03-01T18:23:00.000-08:00

The tactical version of the runabout, with added missile packs under the wings

What could this turn into???

2007-03-01T16:22:00.000-08:00

Gryphon Class Runabout Completed

2007-02-14T20:29:00.000-08:00

She's finally done! The Gryphon Runabout is complete.

Added specifications to the attached image. She turned out bigger than I expected. Was hoping to keep her under 30m, but oh well, 40.5 m is just as well. We'll have to expand the Legacy Class Bay by 2m to fit this baby in :)

Next Project: Orcus Class Fighter redesign.

FFX-32MR "Orcus" Specs

2007-02-08T02:34:00.000-08:00

To go along with the runabout here are the fighters specs and info.

FFX-32MR ORCUS

In Roman mythology, Orcus was a god of the underworld.

Model Number: FFX-32MR
Code Name: Orcus
Unit Type: Multi-role fighter spacecraft
Manufacturer: AKG Engine Systems
Operator: United Federation of Planets/Starfleet
Accomodation: Pilot and Co-pilot
Powerplant Type: FNX-815-D-16 Compact Enhanced Matter/Anti-Matter Reaction System. IDX-108-HP Mk II Compact Mass Drive System x 2.
Speed: Cruise: Warp 7.5; Maximum Speed: Warp 9 (Controlled M/AM Overload)
Armament: Mk VIII Compact Pulse Cannons x 2; Type-VII Phaser Array; Mk V Mini-Torpedo Launcher x 2; Hardpoint x 6

Equipment:

Type V Regenerative Shield System: This system quickly analyzes an attacking weapon's frequency and then modulates shield freqency to increase damage mitigation without depleting shield energy.

Mercury System: This system utilises the collective energies of 3 or more fighters shield systems creating a larger, stronger shield bubble.

A-L.S: The Anti-Lock system is a sensor jamming suite that masks the fighters systems from targeting sensors of other vessels.

Cerebus A.I. System: The Cerebus is an Artificial Intelligence utilising three seperate cores working together. Cerebus monitors the pilots and ship systems, it can take over control of the vessel if nessesary.

E.C.S: Enclosed Cockpit System, a fully enclosed cockpit for both pilot and co-pilot incorperating a holographic, almost 360 degree viewscreen. The cockpit area also serves as an escape pod. There are no windows on the fighter. (Prototype Model FFX-00 uses the usual canopy configuration)

The Pilgrim

2007-02-08T02:16:00.000-08:00

This is a ship design I have been working on for an animation, its still in the design stages but I have worked out a few specs and features for it:

Diomed Systems Scout Craft
SC-460

-6 Person Crew
-1x Minas Class FTL spin drive
-2x Ion Fusion (I.F) Drives
-Long range directional sensor/comm array
-landing capability
-ARTGRAV anti gravity system
-ECM arrays

arms
2x Gemini ion beam arrays
8x Point defense turrets
1x Anti ship torpedo tube
2x heavy cannons

Originally this ship was built during the 50year war as a scout vessel. The captain of the pilgrim purchased the ship from a junk outpost on the rim 2 years ago. The ships of this type where built during the last 10 years of the war so the pilgrim is already over 20 years old.
