With the colour, I'd say it could be where they keep the ship's supply of Mountain Dew. =P
(Because it can't be replicated)
Wow, this is turning out really nice, great work! The deflector is definitely different from what we're used to, but that's good, we don't need more cookie-cutter designs. =) Are there going to be ANY blue/radiator areas on it at all?
Hehe, the color is green because they are quantum launchers. This ship has no photons. Only Tri-cobalts and quantums.
As to the blue radiators, all Marine Corps vessels use type L or type LX deflector arrays instead of the standard type A, C or F arrays. They are not as efficient as the latter arrays, but are much more resistant to damage and use much less power...a side benefit, important for Corps ships, is that the arrays allow cloaking. The type L and LX were codesigned by the Klingons. Type L are used for "sensor cloak" systems, a sensor signature damping system that does not violate the Treaty of Algeron, and Type LX are for full cloak systems that are approved under the Romulan/Federation cooperative act of 2381. This ship has the LX type, and as a result has the full cloak capability.
...A fancy way of saying all Marine Corps ships deflectors are red instead of blue to set them apart. Red screams "im a warship".
oh so only a couple of top bays nothing major! thought this was a battle ship (runs for cover)
...the Infinity is even worse...40 launchers, most of them revolving turrets ala DS9 hehe.
Beautiful work Raven, it's about time the Feds flexed their muscles
Thanks. This was a way to create warships without violating the prime mission of Starfleet. By making this part of the Marine Corps fleet (3rd Fleet), she can have all the weapons she can hold.
