Talk about long skinny pylons...
Ya, I noticed that after I posted. I didn't look at the dates and only viewed the first page so...DarkOmen wrote:Yeah, that's like what we were talking about earlier in the thread, that it could go fractions of QV1 for a lower "warp" speed.
That's because the Relativity doesn't look like a Federation design. It's really too far out to hold enough design commonality to be worth bothering with, I think.DarkOmen wrote:well, someone put a comment on my deviantART account that that wanted to see a USS Relativity era (aka 29th century) Enterprise, which i figured would be the Enterprise NCC-1701-T lol
I tried making some renderings that were just so completely off of the normal design pattern that, to me, they just didn't look like Trek anymore, it was just a ship. I may try again, and if anyone has any ideas/suggestions, let me know. I still plan on doing the Defiant battle wing picture soon too
It certainly isn't a typical Fed design, but it does share traits some other designs, notably the Defiant. Indeed, the ship is probably best described as a cross between the Defiant and a Voth city ship.Jordanis wrote:That's because the Relativity doesn't look like a Federation design.

A good description. I did notice the very faint bits of Defiant in the way the nacelles worked, but then, you'd hardly know the Defiant was a federation ship except for the color scheme (white with glowing red and Cherenkov blue) and the bridge shape.Captain Seafort wrote:It certainly isn't a typical Fed design, but it does share traits some other designs, notably the Defiant.

Well let's see, i was pretty much just making up names, but i'll do my best...Bryan Moore wrote:Interesting. When do we get the rundown of all this whacky "new" technology?
Antipolaron beam: A very rare subatomic particle, that only the federation has been able to produce in quantities. There is no effective defense in existance.
Quantum Singularity Torpedo: Torpedo with a gravametric spatial warhead. Upon reaching a preset proximity of target, the warhead generates a gravametric distortion, and creates a quantum singularity. The intense gravity tears the targets hull apart. The singularity evaporates after approximately 3 seconds.
Biphaisic Pulse Cannon: A cannon similar in style to the pulse phaser cannons of old, pulses rather than a beam. They force a small impact area to go into two phases of destructive interference.
Chronophaisic shielding: Upon impact, these shields spread damage out over not only the physical area of the shield but across time, and across several phases, significantly reducing the load on the shield.
Yterium: Modern crystalline metal developed by Starfleet Quantum Mechanics department. Element no. 174.
Tribaltic armor: increcibly dense Boson condensate, and incredibly resilient to change in state, a single cm of the armor will dissapate the energy of an attack across the entire hull.
Polaric bond Enhancer: Essential a Ultra Ultra Ultra SIF, that works on a much much finer level, increasing the bond between the subatomic particles that make up atoms.
Chronographic Projector: Has to be used with known spatial and temporal coordinates (I.E. you cant go places you havent gone before with normal modes of travel). Uses a chronographic displacer to project the ship to a series of spatial coordinates, in 0.001 seconds.
Quantum Drive: Run of the mill quantum slip stream drive, to allow the ship to go into areas not yet explored. QV stands for Quantum Velocity, QV 1 is equal to warp 9.9999 and QV 5 is 9.99999 and QV 10 again the fastest you can travel
i guess that does it.... someone pick it apart and tell me what i did wrong.
Eh... i know its not everyones favorite, but hey... it's cool.Deepcrush wrote:I still hate this ship. Not you darkomen or your design just the E-J its self. So so so so ugly!
Well, this is the year 2553 and it does use a different propulsion system.Jim wrote:The shape of the saucer seems to contradict the streamlining trend of ST ships. The saucer is very wide, wouldn't that effect the warp bubble shape too much?
But blame the creators for any inconsitancies lol
THank you... unfortunatley, i think i may be wrong... i really think what the creators were going for was a massive ship, probably 1500+ m and only 3 or 4 decks tall on the saucer... in the pic in the Ships of the Line calender, the saucer really looks paper thin.Mikey wrote:I for one appreciate the fact that you took some of the uncertainty from the canon view we had to make it slightly less pizza-cutter-ish.
