Reinterpretation of SFB ship design

Great, now I've drooled on my keyboard... I'll be sending you a bill.

Lol, thanks - I think

It's actually the CA... Turns out the ISC don't have a proper BCH, which I didn't know - that means the ship that I had intended to be the BCH is now the model for their CC variants >.<.

CC (What I mistakenly called a BCH)

Non-PPD CA

PPD CA

If it is any consolation, I recently made the same mistake.

The reason for my mistaken guess is that the "angle" on the wing seen with the hull lights led me to thing it had that single angle so the wing went way up the center nose. I didn't think of the second "angle" that cuts the wing back so much on the CA.

It's odd, but then most of the race's naming conventions are odd. I'm just used to Federation.

I-BCV

I-FF

EDIT
Added the I-DD

Well, you can tell because the cone of light drops off instantly (because there's nothing there to be illuminated). But no worries, I can see the cause of confusion.

Rob, very cool Borak image. I'd be very interested to see how this shapes up in the other dimensions.

Definately like what you're doing with the ISC and the Kzinti. The ISC in particular are much cooler than the designs in SFC.

I was hoping you'd like it.
I'll get around to making the models, but right now the canon races have priorities.

The I-CL

and the I-CS

Rob, no worries. I can be patient. For now, I'm just enjoying the ISC and Kzinti...keep 'em coming!

Excellent. Not that I think you will have to wait very long. I've hit a rhythm.

I-HDD

This is the joy of the ISC. I can get away with kitbashing becuase of the fluff of the organization - all regimented and what not.

Have you considered giving the earlier two-prong ships, like the YCA/LCA, a go?

Furyofaseraph · Post by **Furyofaseraph** » Sun Dec 06, 2009 5:08 am

I haven't really thought about it, no.
My personal SFB/Star Trek timeline is a bit skewed compared to standard SFB, so a lot of the early ships wouldn't actually fit in very well.

Here's the last of the fleet.

I-CVA

I-DNW

I-BB

I-CA

I-DN

I had to change things around a bit in order to fit in the I-CM.

Fury, what software did you use to create those? I've thought about tring to do stuiff like that, but I don't know what programs to get or where to begin.

Oh, okay.

Would that also preclude the likes of the CLF/CBR, or coudl there be room for those as well?

Or the system defence refits (NCA/NCS, NDD, NFF) for that matter?

3ds Max 9-32bit and Photoshop CS2, but the apps don't matter. Determination and skill do. I've been doing this for a while.

I'm not really sure. The game I made these for doesn't use specific models per ship, but rather just 1 model for all the CAs, 1 model for all the CCs, etc, including the New, fast, and so on.
