Fun with Greyscale

[TFVanguard]

I think I love you.

Is that a second shuttlebay aft, where the old second sensor dish used to be?

Nope, that is a swiped Oberth-class sensor suite, 'cause the FJ manual had the big dishes as main sensors, and this made more sense.

Spiffy; just wanted to make sure for when I get around to doing my new stat blocks for all these monsters.

[Captain Blake]

I tend to agree, FWIW. It would be an interesting look, but I can't see them doing it.

I concur. I know a lot of people love the Oberth, but I'm not that fond of it, so having a "replacement/alternate" ship would have been cool.

Ah, well, non-artistic types like me take what we can get.

I dunno, being able to go warp speed backwards could have been cool.

But the sensor's are truer to the original, good call.

Actually, I hate the damn thing. I wouldn't if TNG didn't use the same damn model for everything from a shuttlecraft to a super-dreadnought.... heh. But, considering its heavy use, it obviously becomes the surveyor of choice for two generations.

I might do one at some point. Let me get the last few 'basics' out of the way... Anton, Miranda, Knox, Avenger...

*cough*Klingon Bird of Prey*cough*.

Yeah, well, about half of those occurances were civilian models, so apparently, the Oberth class was cheap as dirt.

Better than I hoped. Whenever you get to it'll be fine.

Thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate it.

Ditto.

I think I love you.

What he said... But in in a strong, manly, companionable sort of way...

Seriously, that's the best refit version of the Fed I've ever seen...

Knox Class Escort Frigate

I'm going to make a 'stat' recommendation here. The 'megaphasers' on the upper part of the hull should probably be either statistically Excelsior-era phasers on large mounts ... or, instead... a self-contained (as in, independant power source) phaser system with forward-arc only firing.

Now that is an ugly ship, the art still amazes me though.

Erm.. thanks?

Lacks some sense of proportion on the secondary hull, but I actually see this much more as the predecessor to the Connie (as she was in the Spaceflight Chronology) than the stuff we've been given sense.

If I were free to do up my own lines, I would probably widen the secondary hull and make the fit more 'natural'.

[Phoenix]

Oh it's not your work, the Baton Rouge Class has always looks bad. The Secondary hull isn't all that bad, it's the bulky impulse drive that makes it look...tweeked.
