I like it. I think it fits for this type of ship

*Blows dust off and chokes on it*

Blimey, that needed doing. :p

So I upgraded my computer over the weekend and have essentially started with a blank computer again. I've got around to re-downloading Blender, but haven't transferred everything back onto the computer yet, so had nothing to play with. Since I haven't even opened Blender for a couple of months, I decided to get some practice in.

I've taken the opportunity to start fleshing out a concept that's been stuck in my head for a couple of days now, so here it is after a couple of hours of work. Definitely going to need a rebuild, but I like where it's heading.

(Don't worry, I'll be getting back to the Avenger this next fortnight. I want to re-familiarise myself with the program before screwing up something I like. :p)

This looks intriguing. Based on the Intrepid no doubt?

That it is. I was browsing the web the other day and came across this:
http://mark-rademaker.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/poll-voyager.html

I also read some of the comments and someone stated that in the post Nem books, Voyager was stripped down for a few years and the put back together. This got me thinking of what Voyager could be like with a refit like the Enterprise had in TMP.

Don't know whether this shall be an Intrepid refit or not. Pylons shall be fixed, though.

Vortex,

Please finish that Oberth/Avenger. You are doing an excellent job with her.

Vortex · « **Reply #146 on:** January 26, 2014, 05:17:18 AM »

Thanks, I restarted her two days ago. Want to at least have the main part of her down before I have to redecorate my room.

Turns out 2014 is the year of redecorating.

nxadam1701 · « **Reply #147 on:** January 26, 2014, 11:48:58 AM »

Lol the year of redecorating ehhhh

Vortex · « **Reply #148 on:** January 30, 2014, 03:32:43 PM »

Slow progress, but I'm liking the way that it's shaping up. Deck count has gone from 6 to 7 on this version.

Hey, I like it, can you show other angles please.

Thanks. Lucky for you, I've been working the underside today.

Changed the shape of the secondary hull slightly, so that it blends better into the rest of the front. Deflector housing is temporary, but I'll probably keep it as something similar. I was surprised at how well it worked.

nxadam1701 · « **Reply #151 on:** January 31, 2014, 04:49:30 PM »

Verry nice

Vortex · « **Reply #152 on:** February 01, 2014, 10:44:55 AM »

And the roll bar is now blocked in.

Eloi · « **Reply #153 on:** February 01, 2014, 01:28:50 PM »

That's a very cool design. I really like it.

Vortex · « **Reply #154 on:** February 01, 2014, 02:26:01 PM »

Thankyou. I'm loving how well this version is turning out. I need to decide what I want to do with the impulse engines next, and that should be the ship mostly blocked.

nxadam1701 · « **Reply #155 on:** February 01, 2014, 09:59:59 PM »

I like too

Vortex · « **Reply #156 on:** February 02, 2014, 11:49:21 AM »

Again, thankyou.

I wasn't particularly happy with the way that the pylons dropped down onto the nacelles, so I moved the weapons in and angled the pylon. I also moved them down a little to put more of a curve on the bar, so it isn't to square.

Just for fun, I duplicated the pulse emitters and moved them in. Might keep them, it fills up space and, well, she is called Avenger.

mckinneyc · « **Reply #157 on:** February 02, 2014, 01:15:27 PM »

That looks too crowded now, and feels like overkill. I would remove the ones above the warp nacelles

nxadam1701 · « **Reply #158 on:** February 02, 2014, 02:07:31 PM »

Does the rollbar have to be connected to the warp engines. Can it be connected to the hull instead?
And quick question. This ship, what is it classified as?

I kinda like the rollbar. Harkens to the Reliant, another perimeter action vessel, which is what I'm guessing this would be classified as.

For the impulse engines, might I suggest some small nacelle-esque structures above and below the deck that holds the warp engines? Sorta like Intrepid's?
