[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [qb] PA ships? [/qb][/QUOTE]Perimeter Action ships, such as the [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/perimeteraction_akyazi.jpg][i]Akyazi[/i] class[/URL] (image from [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/]Starship Schematic Database[/URL]. Another possible solution is that which Thomas Sasser devised for 1/537 scale models based off the ERTL/AMT Refit 'E' kitbashes. A primary hull based navigational deflector would work, as seen on my [i]U.S.S. Patrick[/i] model: [IMG]http://members.aol.com/Griffyards/patrk04.jpg[/IMG] It's an idea that was later used on the [i]Akira[/i] class in ST:FC. Just modify it a bit to fit the TOS concept technologies and there you go. You could also just leave any sort of nav deflector off, I guess, and say it folows the same design philosphy of the [i]Avenger/Miranda[/i], [i]Oberth[/i] and [i]Constellation[/i] class ships. Rick Sternbach is quote in an article that appears in an issue of ST:The Magazine that these vessels use a combination of force fields, Bussard collector's and tractor beams to clear their path of debris, thus don't require a dedicated navigational deflector. Perhaps the [i]Saldin/Hermes[/i] classes are the same? Another thing to consider is that the three round "circles" on the leading edge of the primary hull might also be navigational deflector's. I recall seeing in a set of blueprints - and want to say it was the FJ set - which show that as being the navigational deflectors for those vessels. Just a couple suggestions.... [/QB][/QUOTE]
