Author Topic: Elora Class, among others Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       I use Paint Shop Pro 7.04. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Austin Powers Slightly warped Member # 250 posted                       So do I ... at times. Anyway, I still prefer the very first version of the Bombardier, sans the changes. -------------------- Lister: Don't give me the "Star Trek" crap!

Kinda like the refit Ingram with the Galaxy-family nacelles. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged capped I WAS IN THE FUTURE, IT WAS TOO LATE TO RSVP Member # 709 posted                       I think the saving grace of the LN-68 would be if the cut away part glowed red. Now that I would like... Registered: Sep 2001  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       Like that? -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Austin Powers Slightly warped Member # 250 posted                       No, that just doesn't look right. No ship at the time had red glowing ramscoops That's also what pissed me off when I saw the DS9 space battles with all those Mirandas with red-and-blue nacelles. As if. -------------------- Lister: Don't give me the "Star Trek" crap! It's too early in the morning. - Red Dwarf "The Last Day" Registered: Nov 1999  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       Well, those Mirandas also had the yellow arrowheads on the nacelle pylons. That to me suggests newbuilds or refits. So, it's safe to assume that the nacelles have been modified. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Austin Powers Slightly warped Member # 250 posted                       Sure, it just looks so damn weird, especially as the red glow comes from the "grill" on the side of the nacelle where a ramscoop shouldn't be able to function. Remember, all the "real" ramscoops faced forward as to be able to collect the hydrogen etc. Registered: Nov 1999  |  IP: Logged Aban Rune Former ascended being Member # 226 posted                       The ramsoops function (IIRC) by magnetically drawing hydrogen into them. I suppose, theoretically, they could function just as well on the sides. As the ship passes close to a hydrogen atom, it would be magnetically drawn toward the nacelle, then around to the side where it gets slurped up. I may be wrong. -------------------- "Nu ani anqueatas" Aban's Illustration The Official Website of Shannon McRandle Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       I decided to tweak the Elora a bit. I never really liked the stardrive all that much. The first take, v6, was borrowed from Reverend's Entente. This didn't turn out that well, and Kris said that he had designed the sensor assembly as a special adaptation for use at transwarp speeds, so I tweaked it some more and got this: I think this is better. And here we have the Whistler, another ship that I work on sometimes. Needs some work, like detailing. whistler1.gif I didn't like some things in this version, mainly the nacelles. So, I made a new nacelle and here you have the current incarnation: -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged capped I WAS IN THE FUTURE, IT WAS TOO LATE TO RSVP Member # 709 posted                       oooh.. looks pretty dauntless to me.. im itchin to see some windows on it. -------------------- "Are you worried that your thoughts are not quite.. clear?" Registered: Sep 2001  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       I rarely do windows. Especially on ships like the Whistler. The only detailing I'll do on it will probably be a shield grid, phasers, and maybe some sensor pallets or something. Nothing fancy. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       New nacelles for the Bombardier. I think I might tinker with this one some more... -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Red BWC Ex-Member posted                 Sorry, Toph, dont like them at all. Try something between LN-67 and the ones on the Ingram. (Type escapes me at the moment) IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       Well I like them. I like them a lot, actually. I moved the impulse deck back some to make room for an arboretum/rec deck in the aft portions of the saucer. And I finally added some torpedo launchers -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged
