Hey Hoss, be fair! That's a new thread!

Seriously, I'd guess that the argument would be that a (big) space vessel is closer in concept to a (sea) ship that it is to an aircraft.

It's a fun discussion isn't it?

spyone: It would partly depend upon how good Starfleets understanding of subspace drag is. If your theory is good enough & your computers powerful enough you could theoretically simulate to a fairly...

Montana? I must have missed that one, is it pre- or post-Iowa class?

Phantom: True, but that's the operational role, not the ship class. Looking at the stats of a Norway as shown in the SRM you could easily deploy it as a Light Explorer as per the Intrepid rather than...

You'll have to forgive the somewhat rambling nature of this, I'm kind of arguing with myself as I'm typing.

What my thinking is that given the capabilities of replicators, effectively unlimited...

Crisis:

At the end of day, if it bothers you that much then just change it. It's already in the SU range for a 7 (total SU would probably drop by 80-120 due to size dependant items) & if you want...

A pair of designs based upon a common hull. And yes, they're another pair of modern vessels with shiny new toys, but I like the the shiny new toys. Original Trek sucks & the movies weren't that much...

A couple of reasons:
First, the stats in the FASA SRMs are way too low for SD. Look at all the designs & you see length, mass, etc are all far lower than would be expected. Even ships described as...

Jalu

IIRC, the Sovremenny came out 3-4 years later. The...

Since I've got the itch (& time!) to design again I thought I'd start with an odd idea that'd I'd been thinking of for a while - a Starfleet design with twin engineering hulls.

UDALOY CLASS
...

I hope this matches everybody's expectations, I must confess that I've rushed this one somewhat to meet my self-imposed deadline. I don't think there's any serious errors, but if there are then...

I'll have a Spacedock version ready in 2-3 days, providing my work doesn't get in the way. Ir's about time I designed something again.

Possibly some mistakes in this one, but I'm too tired to review it & since I'm going to be busy for the next week I wanted to get it out whilst I had time. Sorry.

HARLEQUIN CLASS
Class and Type:...

Well, I couldn't stay away for too long, particularly since this kept rattling around in my head.

MARS CLASS
Class and Type: Mars-class Light Escort
Commissioning Date: 2376

HULL SYSTEMS...

OK, all the designs are now up except for the odd races (Husnock, Tkon, etc; mayb one day http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif).

For now, I'm a little burned out & am going to have a rest...

The last of the designs I was requested to come up with (by Mig1 this time I believe).
I've based the idea on the LUG TOS Gorn Battlecruiser, including roughly how it looks and the weaponry choices,...

Just another Strike Cruiser (Hey a new Internet acronym: JASC!!), but I like them so there. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/tongue.gif

HONOUR CLASS
Class and Type: Honour-class Strike Cruiser...

That's what I had in mind as well, hence my comment re the LUG Andorian style vs the FASA Andorian style.

All the vessels shown in the LUG Andorian rulebook show the nacelles in the standard...

Nearly at the end of the design requests! ... And for Dan Gurden we have a Romulan warship. Basically it's somehing to go & hunt Vor'chas with since I think it matches up quite nicely against them.
...

Mig1:

Well you can't get more close cropped than embedded nacelles! Seriously, I was going by the LUG vessels rather than the FASA books for this.

As for the redesign, go ahead by all means. ...

Dan

Unfortunately my artistic ability is roughly comparable to an ungifted house brick.

To make this design easier to visualise check out the piccy of the Atlilirth (the actual bird version)...

My very last design from my Merlin-class family. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/frown.gif

ARCHER CLASS
Class and Type: Archer-class Missile Boat (Proposed)

I just wanted to complete the family with a small repair/support version of the Merlin-class.

BARRETT CLASS

Commissioning Date: 2377

HULL...

And for Mig1, we have a design from the Andorian Defence Force ...
