Katsulas Class

Here is a new Cruiser, the Katsulas.

Information will soon appear here.

How does it look?

[Grimace]

It kind of reminds me of a guy with a big chin. Actually LEADING with the chin, no less. Besides the rather lopsidedness of the saucer section, which I'm guessing was a concious choice, the ship doesn't look too bad. The rest of it has pretty clean lines, and the neck section is quite stout looking.

All in all, pretty good work.

[The Tatterdemalion King]

Ergh. What's with the saucer?

[Meteo]

It was because of where I placed the neck, it was in the way of where I originally wanted to put the bottom of the saucer.

I also melded my TOS Miranda aft structure to part of a Constitution stardrive, and it even has two impulse engines because of that.

ICON Stats are coming up next.

Andreas Katsulas (the actor who played G'Kar on Babylon 5 and Commander Tomalok in a couple of episodes of TNG, was not without a rather prominent chin. I can't speak for Meteo, but I'm betting the class was named for Andreas, so that might have been a conscious choice.

[Meteo]

I had placed much of the hull together, and I placed part of the saucer onto the neck, and had to reposition the bottom to keep it from blocking the neck. That's it.

And I did name it after Andreas Katsulas, although I probably should have made it a Narn Cruiser.

[PGoodman13]

Nah, let's not cross our mythologies here. Tomalok was a Romulan; the Katsulas class should have been a Romulan ship of some sort.

[Meteo]

I'll do another, Romulan ship then.

[PGoodman13]

Hey, don't go changing things on my account.

[The Tatterdemalion King]

That doesn't make sense... why couldn't you just have the underbulge connect to the neck?

[Meteo]

I was trying to keep there from being a black gap that I would have to fill in, sue to the cut and paste, and I also shortened the back of the saucer, contributing to the problem.

[The Tatterdemalion King]

can't you erase the black space?
