    Gorn Cruiser (SFB)

    Another one that's been sitting on the drive undone for too long, so I decided to wrap it up. Basically, this is the destroyer with a second 'large hull', and new 'wings' to the sides. Most of the Gorn ships in SFB are built like this, which kinda makes sense, I guess... Again, the warp engines are based somewhat on those found for Gorn ships in FASA as wel.

    Pearl Harbor Type Mobile Drydock Facility

    I've got mixed feelings on this one. It's not a bad idea, but the engine placement is pretty odd. The original art was very muddled (and tiny) and it was hard to get all the details right, since they were largely impossible to make out. Ah well...

    Also, given the facility type, and the backstory, I made this 'Pearl Harbor' instead of 'Pearl'.. made more sense.

    The warp gemoetry on that has got to be a mess. The Aztec class at least had the warp drive on top of the unit
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Yeah, seriously.

    What if, instead of it being a rigid frame flying around, there was a tug-like central ship that had spars/panels forming a drydock shape when not maneuvering, but that curl or fold up when moving?

    Aztec class had the bridge and warp pylon up in front of the drydock (hood ornament effect), leading the rest of the dock

    Cool thread, nice work on the ships... Just browsed for threads I, II & III, but all the pics seem to have gone from I & II, any chance of a peek at them?

    IIRC, isn't this the one on the FASA SRM that 'folded'?

    That should make the warp geometry less of a muddle (though IMHO it'd still be only 'very' low warp capable)

    Thoughts?

    IIRC, the orgiginal FASA version did fold up for transport.

    I'm going to get another guide together this weekend, which will have a lot of the 'missing' TOS ships. (My server on pixelsagas is rigged to delete posts more than 90 days old... )

    Yes, though it folded oddly. The 'work hull' wouldn't make sense. Also, the bottom plating of the dock would disallow the majority of FASA's Federation ships from actually fitting inside the dock.

    Scorpio Type Corvette

    Drawn to scale with shuttlecraft

    Hate this ship. Hate the design. Hate the scaling issues. Hate the detailing issues. Hate that this is nothing like a Starfleet ships, particularly for the era it's supposed to be in... No hatch (big enough) to get in, no impulse system, no warp system, no viewable weapon ports (at this scale, it's a must)... etc

    Utterly bizzare piece of crap all around.

    Did what I could with it, but I hate this turkey.

    The original looked like a winged dildo. I just tried to make it fit more with the shuttlecraft of the Era, if only to give the damn thing the hatch and engines that it was supposed to have.

    This wasn't meant as critisism, you're doing a wonderful job here.
