3D Art; Starship!

Way cool. Too much orange though. The nacelles being orange is okay...but the whole hull looks orange and has orange spots on it. Maybe add some blue glow somewhere to offset it and return the hull to a nice sleek gray?

Nice pictures.

 

Looks a bit derivative of Excelsior and Sovereign? classes.

I can't tell whether the ramscoops on the warp engines are in line of site from the front -- if not, and they're not variable geometry units, it might be a violation of some starship design rules (see Ex Astris Scientia for more info). :D

Where is the main deflector dish supposed to be?

Hi, Vex. The orange is on purpose. It goes along with the WebRanger: Inferno site color scheme. The Ranger sim is in a dark time (great story plot) and we're practically renegades. This is to go along with that.

 

You should have seen an earlier texturing. It wasn't just orange-y... it was

!!!ORANGE!!!
. I have blue up at the Impulse domes... a splash of color.

 

As far as the nacelles go, these aren't buzzards. ALthough i don't believe TOS Movie engines ever utilized bazzards, these are definitely not buzzards as the Ranger-E was built by corrput starship engineers thinking they could make a ship on their own. These buzzard-like pieces are sliptsream field attenuation emitters. During normal flight, they don't glow. It's only when we try to use the sliptream do they glow and lightning flies about in the nacelle vents as its a POS system that's still in the testing stage. We use a lot of power trying to use the thing.

 

For the deflector, look in the 2nd image... there's a tunnel that has some glowy things in it. The deflector's in there. You just can't see it due to the shot angle.

Wish I could draw these things...

 

Looks like the Excelsior Variant (Enterprise-B, USS Lakota) With her Nacelles rotated 90 degrees...and as many have mentioned..a lot of orange!

Yep, it's that class. And, the saucer neck's been removed and the saucer taken down.

The pics look pretty good! But unfortunatly, I agree with the others about the color. Now excuse me, I have to go find a glass of orange juice now :D .

There was a USS Lakota in DS9?

Yes, it was in DS9 "Homefront" (Had to look up episode name in startrek.com library, I'm not that much of a nerd).  It was the Federation ship that attacked the Defiant.

Yes....in DS9's "Homefront"..the original model used as the Excelsior and in a modified form..the Enterprise -B was prominently brought back to life at the USS Lakota with some minor clever relabeling.
