Wow DJ...you really have your ship's history and Trek-nobabble all figured out, excellent!

I love it when you talk nerdy to me DJ.

Quote from: blasphemer

These design elements are the result of the nacelles capacity for extremely high warp speeds. In early tests, it was found that the ships engines were capable of accelerating so quickly and reaching such high speeds that they would, on standard pylons, fly away from the ship. This effect had previously been documented aboard a shuttlecraft during transwarp experimentation in the late 24th century, but the designers of the Eclipse class had not forseen such a problem on a full size starship.

No DJ!

NO!

No transwarp experiments EVER took place aboard any shuttle. Not in the Delta Quadrant, not ANYWHERE! NO SPACE LIZARDS! *cries, rocking back and forth chanting "it never happened, it never happened"*

Sweet renders. I can't wait to write a fic, pertaining to this one.

8 September 2386: The (Eclipse-Class) U.S.S. Tripoli, NCC 71644. A routine shakedown expedition leads the Captain and crew into a living nightmare. Reinvigorated "Terra Prime" radicals holding the staff of a Cold Station as insurance, are threatening to release virulent bio-hazards into the atmospheres of several A.Q. Alliance refugee ships holding vulnerable / involuntarily displaced civilians. Most of whom are carrying populations of extremely elderly and vulnerable new families into the Idran System. Their leader has misappropriated Starfleet resources to notify the closest available Gamma Quadrant authorities of the "barges of the dead". Several alien ships are approaching the cargo ships on an intercept course.

Any chance of a youtube animation clip of this one separating or pulling out of its box-dock?

Darkthunder · « **Reply #546 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:08:01 PM »

Think you may have to revise your fanfic a bit Hellsgate. DJ Curtis wrote in one of the "tech pages", that the "Subspace Compression" technology on the Eclipse Class wasn't in use until around 2426. I suspect the entire class was launched around this time.

Hellsgate · « **Reply #547 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:28:22 PM »

Well, it works for the early 2420's (Star Trek: Online timeline). I'll give DJ Curtis a co-author credit, of course, but I'm going for a time period just long enough after Nemesis for there to be a ripple effect throughout the Federation, & people are still feasibly ticked-off (ie: Layton / DS9) enough to want to do something "Greenpeace"-style dramatic. They're infiltrating transports like Arcady's "Cleopatra's Needle" & Raven-Class science ships & spazzing like grounded fifteen year-old's. They're not genuine paramilitary threats but they'll set the A.Q. Alliance back a ways diplomatically-speaking.

Design by Arcady

STO is set in 2409. You still have 17 years to wait for the subspace compression tech. And the whole Layton/DS9 thing was 4+ years before the events in Nemesis.

Damn this will be a great replacement for good ol' Galaxy ;) have another cookie forhard work you've done here DJ ;)

Hellsgate · « **Reply #550 on:** December 10, 2009, 03:50:21 PM »

I can't wait to see the Captain's Yacht interior and/or its dedicated docking airlock.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #551 on:** December 12, 2009, 12:00:59 AM »

I am doing up a shuttle, maybe two, to go with the ship. I actually used the ship's secondary hull, stripped down and simplified, for the base of the thing.

Going for a fairly straightforward, utilitarian design. Something not too flashy or sleek.

moed · « **Reply #552 on:** December 12, 2009, 01:21:12 AM »

Very nice. I don't know about you but it looks pretty sleek to me.

I like how you kept the deflector array on it.

Dalek · « **Reply #553 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:06:55 AM »

Not entirely hooked on the deflector being there. Perhaps its a variant designed for travelling at faster warp speeds?

Nebula · « **Reply #554 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:17:59 AM »

yeah I don't think the deflector leaves room for the crew in the front...

Lionus · « **Reply #555 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:34:28 AM »

I like it. and since we don't have a clue how big or small this shuttle actually is, who are we to say that there's no room?

vgdude999 · « **Reply #556 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:47:40 AM »

looks good.

Dawg81 · « **Reply #557 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:50:21 AM »

u are probably going to need to modify the shuttle nacelles since they also double as landing skids but im not sure how to pull off the right look other than that very nice idea

Dalek · « **Reply #558 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:53:00 AM »

There isn't any sitting space, not without kneeling on the floor. There need to be some major adjustments made to make it seem possible to sit and walk around and if that does happen, it'll look like a bus.

Vortex · « **Reply #559 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:58:47 AM »

Cute shuttle.

Dalek: Maybe it's bigger on the inside... :roll
