USS Angel Fire (Concept)

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:39 am USS Angel Fire (Concept)**

Ok..
I originaly posted this on the Star Trek Legions forums but I wanted to share this with the Star Trek Voyager forums also..

Realizing I had to get off my butt and do this.
I'm taking a new attempt at the ship I had in my mind from a long time ago.
Its soley based off of the Intrepid and the Rhode island class.

This one will be called: Angel Fire.

Ok. udate on the ship..
I shrank the deflector dish..
The other one was WAAAAY to freakin huge! :-[

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:43 am UPDATE_003: Angel Fire (Project)**

More updates.

By the way.. I made the dish even more smaller after I looked at the Enterprise E toy, My lil bro sold me a few years back.
I can see that the dish is MUCH smaller than I thought so I made the Angel fire's even smaller..

I want to be original but still make this a ship that keeps within star trek vessel guidlines..

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:48 am UPDATE_004: Angel Fire (Project)**

I had a REAL kewl idea..
Again I've been looking upward over my computer station for inspiration from one of my models..
I looked at my Akira resin and it occured to me..
Instead of making the nacelles sweep upward like the Intrepid..
Why not downward like the Akira?
Worth a shot huh?

Here's an animation model of my idea..

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:50 am UPDATE_005: Angel Fire (Project)**

If the animation takes to long to load..
Here are snap shots of it with its nacelles up and down.

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:53 am UPDATE_006: Angel Fire (Project)**

Ok.
I tappered the rear section, added a shuttle bay and some windows to the saucer, yada, yada, yada..

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:55 am UPDATE_007: Angel Fire (Project)**

Yawns..
Didn't do much here..
Just added some grid lines to the bottom.

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:58 am UPDATE_008: Angel Fire (Project)**

Details, Details. Time for a few details..
Well honestly its kinda early to be adding details but details are so fun to me..
I know I have to smooth out a few bumps here and there but lets do a few details anyway?

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 10:00 am UPDATE_009: Angel Fire (Project)**

The spine was WAY to large so I flattened it.
Added the Impulse engines and a few other stuff. ;D

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 12:49 pm**

Tuvok8917 · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:30 pm**

Really nice

, only i miss something.. oh yeah, windows

lol.

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:59 pm**

**Giggles** Dude, I never said it was done..

**LOL**

But seriously tho.. I'm thinkin of putting Sovereign class windows in..
Whatta think Tuvok?
I "WAS" gonna put Intrepid class windows in but I didn't like the size..

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 3:11 pm UPDATE_010: Angel Fire (Project)**

O.k. I've added a few more things like Transporter buffers and that warp core cap thingy. **LOL** eeew. My techno babble is SSSTUNNING!!

I still gotta add windows, add more details to the bridge, work on hull texture, add the those dark red phaser stips thingys oh and did I mention I intend to add windows. **Giggles/winks at Tuvok.**

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 4:15 pm UPDATE_011: Angel Fire (Project)**

Ok I added some details to the back..
Can anyone see anything familure about the rear?

Yep.. Its the Intrepids rear landing pad.
I felt I was traying to far away from the ship that inspired the Angel fire so I made sure to make the rear look as Intrepid as I could!

z-i-p-p-y · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:03 pm**

Oooo I love it.

TrekkieMage · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:14 pm**

Very nice! I like how you've kind of chronicalled the stages of it. Very cool

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:57 pm**

Heh, heh.. Thanks Zips.. Glad you like it!

Lord Borg · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 6:55 pm**

It's really nice, I'm gonna have to learn how to do this

John Connor · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 8:22 pm**

Very nice work and what class is this starship?

Cathexis · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 9:19 pm**

So this is its own class then? Angelfire Class?

If so, it's quite nice! If not, it's still quite nice! Reminds me slightly of Insignia Class....

If I may ask, what program are you using to make this?

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 10:13 pm**

Oooooh Sssssssnap!!!
I didn't think of that!!
The class name?
aw crap..
I read your post an hour and a half ago and I "STILL" can't think up a class name for this freakin ship!!!!
I mean DUDE! It took me two days to think of the name ANGEL FIRE!

Well maybe I can take Catexis advice and make the class name the same as the ship name?

I mean if not then I'm abselutely cluless as to what to name her class..
I SUCK at naming ships!!!!

AUDACIOUS · **Mon Jan 09, 2006 10:16 pm**

Heh, heh..
I think someone with your imagination would make an awesome mesher!
If money is an issue, Get your hands on an old cheaper copy of 3d max and do what I did..
Dive right in!

Cathexis · **Tue Jan 10, 2006 8:23 pm**

Well, I can definitely help with Ship and Class names..........I make 'em up all the time, jus' never had a program to actually make 3D models of 'em!

Thanks, AUDACIOUS!

3dmax? Will look then!
