Because it would be cool to rotate , well at a low speed , but still cool , and because it's round , but sure it great as it is

You could make an animated texture set (much like folks do with bussards) that sits inside the ring and "rotates".

o.O But the nacelles still wouldn't roatate

new WIP

its an updated version of the sentinel

lol i just been looking through the old posts on this thread... i forgot about how much i like the newer version of my nx sentinel

I don't like the quad-nacelle design that much as it should have the Dauntless or the Prometheus-class style arrowhead 'saucer section' to homage the D'Kyr-Class Vulcan Cruiser from "Enterprise".

If you're not going to get rid of the Sovereign-Class ovular saucer, then slide the slipstream initiator forward to where the Captain's yacht and/or the torpedo launcher usually sits dead center in the middle of the saucer's ventral side or locate it in the very forward tip of the saucer a-la the NX-01's nav deflector. If you're going to do an annular warp ring, than please stop tacking sovy nacelles on it...choose one, the ring or the X-positioned regular nacelles on pylons and stick with it. You can put in a shuttlepod launch bay in aft of the saucer or an Arrow-Class launch bay in the usual spot under the saucer.

umm Hellsgate the ring isn't a warp field generator/engine.... it's there for a phaser bank.

Lionus · « **Reply #90 on:** September 10, 2010, 01:34:04 AM »

I really do like the quad-nacelle version. IMHO, the dual nacelle version seemed lacking in department that was important.. ;)

Oh, and Hellsgate.. Constellation-class, Cheyenne Class and quad-nacelle Excelsior prototype had oval/round saucers too. Dauntless was an alien vessel, this it doesn't follow the Federation design principles that closely, and Prometheus is an experimental battlecruiser designed against Borg threat which led to the un-orthodox approach..

hobbs · « **Reply #91 on:** September 10, 2010, 02:17:59 PM »

hmmm. lionus is correct its ring for a phaser to be placed, also the ship has nothing to do with vulcan ships. And there are no soverign nacelles ''tacked'' on. I dont even like the sovie that much.

(Sorry if i seem a bit deffensive hellsgate but i felt like i was being told off)

One other thing.... It has no slipstream dont know where you got that idea from.

they got the slipstream idea by the shape of the deflector....

hmmmm well i was going to update this but due to sods law when i tried to save my update (ie: preliminary texture) Gmax crashed and the window shut down... lol only about 1 or 2 hours of time wasted.
:mad:

bankruptstudios · « **Reply #94 on:** September 13, 2010, 06:53:58 AM »

Not really, go to documents, gmax, and look for autoback. It automatically backs your progress.

hobbs · « **Reply #95 on:** September 13, 2010, 04:03:05 PM »

thankyou

bankruptstudios · « **Reply #96 on:** September 13, 2010, 04:17:51 PM »

any time

Hellsgate · « **Reply #97 on:** September 14, 2010, 11:18:25 PM »

Hobbs: Can't wait to see where you go with your project from here. I apologize for getting your back up & making you feel that i was telling you off. I just don't think you need an annular warp-ring style design for the phasers. They should be positioned to be able to give you 360 degree hull coverage, front to back and 360 degrees around its waistband without needing to build a secondary hull specifically for improved weapons / sensor arc coverage.

hobbs · « **Reply #98 on:** September 16, 2010, 04:34:59 PM »

Hellsgate: no friend i should apologise i read too much into your post, i'm proud of my ship but appreciate your comments.
I however must say this... its my ship and i'll have a ring hull if i want to

again my sincere apologies

hobbs · « **Reply #99 on:** September 24, 2010, 02:03:57 PM »

well its a double post but...

I think i'm going to redo my ship... (still with ring hull, sorry hellsgate

)

i'm basically redoing the saucer again.
