The 1701 reaches 1000 missions!

[Darth K'Trava]

Well, I said fanfic, but it really never got beyond putting together a story bible - I've got character bios, racial descriptions for new races, a technical paper for the ship's new Sidewarp propulsion system, and a bunch of drawings and schematics. And a partially completed Chapter 1. And a bunch of ideas still in my head.

Geek.




Forget it..... SUPERGEEK!!!!!

With no life, obviously.....

 

[Darth K'Trava]

wow, you almost belong on Trekkies.....

Are you sure he wasn't on there? Or Trekkies 2? :\


At least he isn't as bad as the "Commander" bimbo.

And all I did one time was stick rank pins and combadge onto my Members Only jacket at work for awhile.... This was approx 8 years or so ago.

Nonsense! Those people are nuts!

I would never show up to jury duty in a Starfleet duty uniform with a toy phaser. Everyone knows you don't carry weapons into a courtroom, and anything as formal as jury duty warrants the DRESS uniform.

Now when you wear a 'fleet uniform or other costume for your driver's license...... been there, done that.... Doubt I'll do it this year when I renew it, tho....

Torm, you really aren't helping your case here.....

Croth, you know he lost his paladinhood for lying.....

At the time that drawing was done, there wasn't a Sovereign class yet - but I see what you're saying. That's actually SIX warp nacelles you're seeing there, btw - two standard (but Klingon designed) nacelles on the outer back, two Sidewarp nacelles between those and slightly higher on the back, and two Defiant-like inboard nacelles on the saucer. The large 'city' area in the middle of the back contains, among other things, a set of decks for fighter support and launch. And toward the bottom of the back of the secondary hull is the Sidewarp keel. For scale, she's about five times the length of the 'D', and she has a bridge with a second story that extends further back behind the regular bridge and contains a C-I-C for fleet command - something I never understood why the 'D', being the fleet's flagship, didn't have.

Talk about wanting MORE POWER!!! Tim Taylor would just looooooove that ship.... until he got kicked off it, after blowing it up, while wanting STILL more power.....

Have you got a head-on shot? Or a top view?

Congratulations mojo1701(a)! 1,000 posts is an important event. I'm looking forward to getting there myself someday.

Have you got a head-on shot?

There's the head-on for the unmodified Triumphant Class - done in Paint of all things, before I got decent with Paint Shop.

You can probably see the differences, like that the saucer on the standard ship is more like an actual Defiant class ship. These ships' general frameworks are replicated WHOLE at the Dyson Shipyards, and then fleshed out with detail work and certain elements used in power production that can't be reliably replicated. The Enterprise 170100 was created when some engineers at the yard took the Triumphant design, enlarged it by four, and began playing around. Normal Triumphant Class ships aren't Sidewarp capable, for instance - that is reserved to the Aurora Class Farships (Farship = an Extragalactic Starship Carrier for exploring other galaxies), which are normally the only ships with large enough power plants to handle it. Enterprise is - just barely, and it usually has unpleasant side effects on ship systems. Starfleet was pleased with and is using the resultant vessel, but considering they could have produced a Farship in that time and with that power expenditure, instead, it isn't something they'll be repeating regularly.

But the layout for the nacelles and the rest in general is the same.

An Aurora Class, also in Paint:
