I'm not a big TAS fan myself but I was asked to do this one and as requests go it seamed easy enough.

Schematics

I had to make a few additions and extrapolations because of the spartan nature of the original drawings, the most obvious of which is the addition of a door.

You know, something about submerging warp nacelles doesn't sit right with me... Then again, if they're vacuum-tight, I suppose water wouldn't hurt them.

Nice drawings.

Interestingly, an early draft of "Starship Down" [DS9] called for the Defiant to go down on a water world; later the idea was revised to the gas giant one that was actually filmed.

Well-done. I like the additional details. They were absolutely necessary to make the shuttle credible.

Nice schematics, Rev. But even with the added details this isn't a very credible ship. It sure as hell doesn't look particular aquatic. I think the shuttles in TAS are generally pretty bad.

(Note: The emblems says "shipsyards")

I agree, but like I said, it was done at a request.

Considering the whole thing took me only one hour from start to finish (schmatics & logo) I think I did fairly well in the error department. [Wink]

Well, Reverend, I never really liked the design, but, as has been expressed already, I like it alot bette rnow than I did before [Smile]

Good job!

Reverend, great job on the design. I am really impressed. [Big Grin]

Are you going to make a more detailed and corrected version? What program do you use to design these wonderful ships?
