USS Baker Class Heavy Destroyer
You know, I can almost accept this as a heavy destroyer when compared to the Saladin, really. The stats given the ship don't jive with that, of course, but FASA had a lot worse designs out there...

Right now, as a favour, I'm getting the FASA 1st Edition manual done. (I've got three more classes to draw, and then I get to writing it. AIEE!) After that, I need to wrap up the second Connie era book (a few pods, etc..)Quote:

My goal, honestly, is to average out a 'netbook' a month with these puppies.
Very nice! Very nice! Very nice!
C'Laih Class Runabout
(Drawn on scale with shuttlecrafts)
I suspect heavily that this ship was an aborted attempt to draw the Vulcan warp-sled from The Motion picture that just didn't pan out. I took the basic lines, and actually made the ship fit the parameters that it's SUPPOSED to serve, using from lines from the TFF shuttles.
I'm not too thrilled, but it's an extremely obscure ship as it is...

And.. before anyone mentions it.. I got the labelling fixed already - just not on the uploaded version. :P
TF....you're doing very good work, but....ummm......that's more of a runaway than a runabout.
"......first, we construct a large wooden badger......"
<<<>>>
"Run Away!!!!!!!!!" :D
Sorry, friend, but that design may be a violation of the Geneva Conventions. :eek:
Given the good work you do, I'm terrified to find out what it looked like before. :rolleyes:
You're doing great work, nonetheless.
Upper half of a TOS shuttle, scrubbed of its detailings , shoved onto a warp sled, with the sled made twice as thick - again scrubbed of its detailings, with a pair of LN-64 engines (of course) cribbed from the Spaceflight Chronology and stuck onto the sides.Quote:

Actually, I rather like that thing.. Kind of reminds me of the alien ship at the beginning of Wrath of Khan, and a precursor to the Runabout. The profiles could use a little work to make it more elegant, but it has a lot of potential! :)
FASA's? Actually, it's not terrible in and of itself, the problem is that it didn't mesh up with what it's SUPPOSED to be - something you see a lot of in FASA, really. In this case, the ship was simultaneously too big and too small. (Too big to be a shuttle, too small for two decks, given the supposed dimensions.)Quote:

I know many of the ships are meant to LOOK as if they are based on modules, but really, they are massive superstructures.. The ammount of R&D time, work and effort involved in designing what is effectivelly not much different than before, I can't really see that the extra effort involved could not be used to adapt existing hull frames? Hmm.
SS Laweya Class Frieighter
Nothing much to see here, being basically a smaller version of the Overfield with a
new 'hood' on the saucer.

Me, personally? I was fine with the basics. ^_^Quote:

Now THAT is how a freighter should look!! It's got a hint of Fed lines, but doesn't scream "I'm a sloppy hull slapped on to an elegant looking saucer section!"Quote:

I'm using Paint Shop Pro currently (and about to get a couple of tonal-add-ons for it to play with!). So, there's nothing fancy about the ships, just lines and fills, with a grayscale palette. Keeping these simple /really/ helps the look, though.Quote:

SS Kareth Class Scout
I kept fairly close to the original lines this time, but had to redo the saucer completely because the specs given made the ship IMPOSSIBLE once again. Rather than be too much of a stickler for another largely-unheard of ship, I upped the size all around to make some sense of it in both form and function.
And this concludes the 1st Edition FASA Feddie SRM!
