Remora Class Escort


Charger Class Escort

Okay - so what's the difference between those two? I can't spot anything!

[TFVanguard]

Hint: Look next to Waldo.

There's one key difference between the two classes...

[Meteo]

I know.

Well, I do think that you redesigned the Charger very well.

HEY! Who took a bite out of my starship?

HEY! Who took a bite out of my starship?

That's probably my biggest complaint with the ships he designs with that notch in the front of the hull: The notch is huge compared to what it's actually doing. Taking it in to the first ring on the shield grid would, in my mind, be plenty.

[TFVanguard]

I'm right HERE ya know. :P

Actually, the 'notch' is a happy medium between that I would consider asthetically sensible and what is offered out there in other fanon designs (Akyazi) and some of DS9's and FC's designs.

Mileage varies, of course, but I think the 'armed notch' like this gives it some 'agressive' character while not undermining the saucer's basic design advantage.

Oh, like that's ever stopped us before....

Oh, it's not that I mind the notch per se; I just think it's cut too deep. I do think it adds something aggressive to the character of the ship, but I wouldn't have made it quite so large. Bringing it in to just the first ring of the shield grid instead of the second would, I think, give it the aggressive quality without looking like...well, a kitbash.

Which didn't come out right, but I'm not saying things to well tonight anyway. Perhaps when I look at it again tomorrow, I'll be able to word it better. (This does not speak well for my ability with words tonight, and considering that's how I spend a lot of my time, it makes me worry....)

Belknap Class Cruiser

Ascension Class Dreadnought (SFPO)

[TFVanguard]

Ticonderoga Class Cruiser

[Grimace]

That Tico is a WEIRD looking ship. So sleek from the front and top, so huge and clunky from the side. What inspired it?

[TFVanguard]

It's a FASA Stardate design, so I can't really say where it came from. :S

[The Tatterdemalion King]

Weirdly, i think the ascension looks better to me than that belknap or the federation-class themselves.
