[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] OK, as I mentioned in the Discussion section, I am slowly but surely DS9TMizing some starships, for the simple reason I wan't to see a starship chart like The Vorlons - with all the ships on it - I initially thought the DS9TM ships (well some of them Shelly Centaur etc) but I realised that The Centaur - what we see on screen is different so I will do a version that is of the onscreen variety - now it seems as if Doug Drexler took his Adobe Illustrator ships and cut and pasted some of them for some of those variants - but I am still at a loss as to WHAT part of a constitution that is on that Intrepid Constitution variant... anyway - seeing that monstrosity <IMG SRC=http://www.uq.net.au/~zzarayfi/freedom.jpg><IMG SRC> I wanted to 'fix' it - i.e. to my knowledge - the Federation does not alter the size of their parts - like the Klingons and the BOP's so we have a reference point the constitution refit neck Taking a chart with scale starships i.e. the encyclopaedia and a little bit of artistic licence I took it upon myself for the reason stated above to redo the Freedom - and probably a few others - like the niagra etc - in all the same style - i.e. Doug Drexlers ships from the Encyc II and the DS9TM so here is the Freedom: taking a Nebula nacelle (same as a Galaxy nacelle) but the Nebulas for chronological sake - have a lower batch of registry numbers - and thus would have a higher chance of having earlier class parts (we assume that these ships were just flung together by the Federation - that they were actually design experiments - maybe to test Features of the Galaxy, Nebula or Ambassador class ships. I also too an Ambassador Saucer section similar to the RPG picture - also it is similar to a report that Mike Okuda's slide show depicted this ship with a Galaxy saucer - easily confused with a Nebula or Ambassadoe saucer... Also that the top of the constitution neck would assemble easier with the base of an Ambassador saucer - similar mechanisms - (see closer pictures of both the Constitution refit and the Ambassador classes) with a Galaxy saucer - there would be that deep groove for the engineering section - maybe that is the purpose of this ship to mix and match engineering section (or saucer section) parts... Also, I don't include that bizzare addition that is on the RPG freedom (the bit on the bottom of the nacelle with windows) - how would they even GET there, through the nacelle? anyway - adding this to a chart - in scale - and hopefully will get a few other ships completed in a similar fashion here tis: <IMG SRC=http://www.uq.net.au/~zzarayfi/freedom1.JPG></IMG SRC> [/QB][/QUOTE]
