Ships and Stations

[Sorehl 0]

Is there interest in artwork like the attached that would depict the ships and stations of STSF together?

 

I had generated this item as part of the design processes for Camelot and Aegis, then wound up adding some other ships from Jeff Russell's Starship Dimensions website for comparison purposes. In this picture, 2 meters = 1 pixel.

 

More could be added, but since some sims don't have a website I'm not certain about all the various classes. Already depicted are Sky Harbor Aegis, Camelot Station, USS Excalibur-B, USS Reaent, USS Manticore, and USS Challenger.

 

If there's interest in having your ship added - I'll probably rearrange things - speak up. And make sure I know the ship class for accuracy.

Sweet..

::geeks out and gets all happy at the visual aid:: That chart is wicked cool!

Neat!!

 

Agincourt's a Prometheus, any chance we can get added to the shiny? :-)

Wait...wait....au are missing the part where the Talon is decloaking on an attack vector to blow it all up.......

Makes my day. Now I just need to change my background, or whatever it's called in Vista....

And the Yorktown should be renamed the Arcadia

But where's the Hood?

Excellent! Do that and I'll take down the full sized TNG banner that now adorns part of my office wall!

But where's the Hood?

 

Uh....in front of the windshield?

::adopting a suitably British accent:: I do believe, Commander, that it is actually called the "bonnet". I was refering to the Constitution class heavy cruiser named after His Britannic Majesty's Ship, the HMS Hood, pride of the Home Fleet, until sunk by the DKM Bismark.

Which leads to the question, what class is the Talon? Standard D'Deridex warbird or a more exotic variant?

 

And can anyone provide the starship class of the Republic?

 

And what about Red Star Nightclub? It could be added to the artwork if it's something I didn't have to make from scratch. Ex Astris Scientia lists Vanguard, Regula, Particle fountain, K-7, and Amargosa as Federation classes. Or perhaps it looks like something from another genre - the Close Encounters mothership, the International Space Station, or the old style Von Braun space station "wheel". Or maybe it just looks like a floating diner. (Anyone can suggest, but I'll take the hosts' word as canon - so you have to talk them into it.)

 

I'll probably double the artwork in size. People can reduce it in size for their needs. So it'll be 1 pixel = 1 meter, again based on the Starship Dimensions website.

Anyone have a picture of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? :)

Haha, this is great, and no I don't Sam. Sorry

This chart is so my new PC wallpaper. Nice and thank you Sorehl.

 

EDIT: already added to the work computer and I'm geeking out and showing it to my co-workers. :-P Looking forward to the next update where we have the whole posse represented.

Republic is a Galaxy Class while the Talon is a standard D'Deridex warbird.

I've added these two ships. Of course, leave it to the Romulans to have such an unnecessarily large ship that it can't fit completely in the picture without blocking everyone else out. (That's if you hold to the sketchy reference to the D'Deridex being twice the size of a Galaxy class, which I don't, but have represented here anyway - it's been replicated in so many places.)

 

I removed the earlier version and offer the refreshed one here.

The Galae needs large vessels to contain all those Rihan egos and the space borne political manuevering and alliances enacted by the crews.

This is great stuff, Thank you, Sorehl!!

You could represent STSF Academy by adding some redshirts floating in space. :)

Given that the scale is 1 pixel per meter, I believe there are a few floating near Camelot Station, Grom.

[Guest Natalie Harris]

This is so cool! Thanks for doing this Sorehl.

No word back from Red Star? I must admit, after Sam's suggestion I envision a floating 50's art deco diner.

 

BTW, there's obviously room for improvement on this diagram. Some of the ship artwork is better than others, based on the source. Now that the relative sizes are established, I could replace images with similar ones of better quality if you've got 'em. The restrictions are that they should be side views and expandable to the sizes shown without degradation. If there's interest, you could post any recommended images in this string or otherwise forward it to me.

 

Eventually, I'll cut out some of the stray pixels or turn them into redshirts. What color would Joy be and how many pixels would she be up to from various Academy deaths?
