USS Consolation Class Medical Frigate
Well, I took a lot of feedback on the original of this, and the common consensus was that while it made sense for the Feddies to design a ship around the Medical Pod, the Consolation's original design wouldn't be the logical concept.
So, it's been drawn and thrown up here.

Nicely done.
Fascinating how tastes can be different. :D
In the view from the front, it shows it squared off (some what) at the bottom of the secondary hull. This doesn't seem to show up in the other view or am I missing something?
I believe what you are seeing are the shuttle bays which are hidden in the top view.Quote:

USS Sarda Class Tug
This is, effectively, John Lester's USS Remora class as found on Starship Modeler. The ship design is mostly the same, with the registry changed to be in line with 'canon' registries. Also, since the name 'Remora class' is also one of FASA's more popular designs, I switched the class name to one of Starship Modeler's other vessels.
The model is here: http://www.starshipmodeler.com/cfsto...y&Product_ID=8

It's the shuttlebays that you're looking at. The protrusions are only slight on the top view (as shown in the pod views elsewhere) and are obscured by the Consolation's warp engines.Quote:

There be Klingons, captain!Quote:

One question: It's a tug. Where do pods attatch?
Definately does have a Klingon feel to it. Makes me wonder if that was the original idea, and it just didn't pan out that way...Quote:

USS Compactat Class Battleship
Based on the SFB 'New Dreadnought' design, with the shovel head. It's basically just the Dreadnought with the primary hull swapped for the shovel. And, yes, I got the 'shovel part' done today, for better or worse. :)

USS Deslandres Class Tug/Transport
Yeah, fit of originality, I know, swap the saucer for the spade and all.. still, this is an SFB ship (though of different name, natch), and I needed one more for Starfleet #2 anyway. I'm making this a slightly more 'sturdy' vessel, or something.. not really sure what the spade gives you other than mass...
Edit - Updated with a MUCH better looking 'spade' design than the miniature I used first.
