Mark suggested this to me, and I think it's quite doable, except that we don't have any real schematics or anything for it. If we do, could someone send me to them... But if not, I was planning on making them and then putting the ship into a scene, for beauty shots. So, this will be for all input anyone has for it, especially those who helped design the ship. Just what the basic hull shape will be, the saucer, the engineering hull, the nacelle design, any special opening that there might be (eg. large windows, shuttlebays, cargo bays) or any special outside parts (eg. captain's yacht, large escape pods).
So, now that that is all out, help me make designs, and I can't promise this to be beautiful, but I plan on trying my best. Whenever I have an idea for the design (usually schematic-wise) I'll post the pictures in here.

Re: Paladin Photoshop
I don't think there is a finalized design, when I opened a thread to get general discussion on the finalized design flowing again Teaos locked it b/c he thought I was trying to Hijack the topic.
Here is a 3D rendering I did (a rough wire model basicly) based on what we had previously talked about and the feedback on the 2D models I'd drawn up. (the program I designed it on is Google Sketchup, if you don't have it you can download it for free here [the non-pro version], after you download the software you can download the actual model.)

Re: Paladin Photoshop
Why 4?
It looks alright with 2...

Re: Paladin Photoshop
We decided that the added redundancy and endurance would make sense for a full-on Battleship, and that efficiency would be a secondary concern on such a vessel.

This reminds me, I thought we'd decided on a "thicker" primary hull?Lt. Staplic wrote:there are two on the outside of the secondary hull, one in the groove in the secondary hull, and one beneath the ship.Mark wrote:Paladin has four nacelles

We did, and better cover for the nacelles, and more intergration....
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Paladin Photoshop
I did this quite some time ago...it was meant to be a rough concept to spark conversation really. Plus I wasn't very good with Sketchup then (not that I'm much better now.)

I'm going to see about getting Bryce 3d tonight, so I may make a new model myself.

Re: Paladin Photoshop
Sorry, did we decide on the "X" config for the nacelles or the "+" config?

I don't know, actually.Mark wrote:Sorry, did we decide on the "X" config for the nacelles or the "+" config?
My model had a "U" config, with the lower nacelles closer together.
EDIT: No, that was my next step that I never got to. Now I have to start from scratch.
Here was my rough untextured idea:

Re: Paladin Photoshop
That looks like a rather stretched out x which would probably work better. It fits more with what we have seen from trek.
