An ugly child, but that's not my fault...

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [qb]Amasov! Can I just say I LOVE THAT MEDUSA DRAWING! Woooo! That first one - with the colour does look better. I really really like what you have done. I've got to ask - what program did you use... is it easy to use... and where can you get it!?! ;o) I have another theory now and the nacelles of this baby... Look at the top two... the seem to be sort of 'dangling' off the edge. Maybe these nacelles are 'emergency nacelles' brought into to hastily replace damaged/destroyed nacelles allowing ships to be able to go to warp. They might have a number of old exxie nacelles lying around and can bring them in when needed - they just slot them on. Maybe the original version of the ship had another nacelle on top with two pylons similar to the bottom!?! Anyway. I love your pic, and I'd LOVE to see you do more ships - even ships we've seen - I'd like to see the FC ships done in your style - I'm sick of seeing the encyclopaedia schematics of them - they seem to be the only ones on the net. Andrew[/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks. :) Micrografx 8.0 is the program I use. Before I got it I used Paintship, but this one is easier to use, allthough it lacks some Photoshop features. And as far as I remember, I got the the budget version (I think they are allready at 9.0) for €15 (or do you write it 15€? No idea... :confused: ). It's very easy to use if you know some small 'tricks'. My nacelle theory was another one: What if the ship originally used 2 nacelles? the two at the top? The third may have been added when the ship was heavily damaged. I imagine some sort of Akira-secondary hull, an Excelsior hull directly attached to the saucer. The thing was blown away and Sterfleet used abother saucer to replace it. Maybe they added the third nacelle to increase her spead. If the warp core was running down from the top of the saucer to the bottom of the secondary hull, it was destroyed, too and replaced with a smaller one. To compensate this, they added a third nacelle to create a stable warpfield with a lower amount of energy. OK, the theory is a little bit far-fetched, but I really have no idea why they would add a third nacelle, connected with the main budy with two instead of one phylons. In other words: Why does the lower nacelle need the energy of two main plasma conduits running down instead of just one, like any other nacelle. Hey, maybe I'll sketch up the thing I imagined. I'm sure it will look a lot better tha this thing. And for my 'future projects': I first wanted to complete the kitbash ships for my project, and then go on with something new. I always wanted to try the Freedom. Maybe I'll do the Norway or Steamrunner, too. Because you are right, the FC-ships look really ugly. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
