Here is a Centaur-like configuration for the as of yet unamed battleship. I wanted to set it apart, but still give it the familar top down profile. I think it looks pretty good, let me know if something needs changing.

........your wish is my command.

Actually, I lied...I already made one. Figured it was optional. I'll post a pic with it.

**Raven Night** · **Posted**: 05-14-2005 07:23 AM

Here they are, one with, one without. I will put up 4 views later of the latest changes with some chatter.

Very nice! I love the nacelles and the arrangement of the three impulse engines. Nice job integrating a Sovereign-like bridge module and taper. You might want to reshape the nacelle pylons, however. The front view looks rather boring--the pylons are flat-faced and have no detail. The deflector could stand more detail, too (but I'll bet your not done with that, anyway).

I can work on the struts....the struts on the orignal were thin, but then again this is not the original. Not even close. I agree, the struts need more meat.

Ill post a pic of my latest shortly.

**Raven Night** · **Posted**: 05-15-2005 01:07 AM

Ok, here is the latest. No time to explain the details now, I will later, I will just post the pics for now. It is my birthday, and the misses is bugging me to stop work and go play.

wow this ship looks perfect...

CaptainWolff · **Posted**: 05-15-2005 01:13 PM

Absolutely beautyfull!!!
Realy love the nacelles.

Darkthunder · **Posted**: 05-15-2005 07:18 PM

Would it be possible having 2 engines on the saucer and one on the aft end of the ship? Would make it possible for saucer seperation perhaps Wink

I would say the shape is just fine, what i would do is add all the other phasers, but i wouldnt add any more torpedo launchers, i think that would be over kill, we have to remember that she is after all a Federation vessel and her primary mission is ment to one of peace.

**Nebula** · **Posted**: 05-15-2005 08:38 PM

LMAO mayhemuk do you not know the BC2 Story Line?

It needs to have some armament, after all they are fighting a war to take back Earth.

mayhemuk · **Posted**: 05-15-2005 08:43 PM

True ive never known the story line of BC2.
Nobody's perfect.

**Raven Night** · **Posted**: 05-15-2005 11:25 PM

Thats fine Mayhem, its a common mistake.

This is a Third Fleet vessel.....designed for the Starfleet Marine Corps. Almost all Third Fleet ships are warships by design, and this is no different.

The Third Fleet does not use mainline Starfleet vessels, and that means no canon ships in this mod. They are all brand new designs...including this one.

cool ship, im waiting and waiting till all your beautiful ships are releases Smile

**Armondikov** · **Posted**: 05-19-2005 08:19 PM

Nice. But if you want to give it a beefier appearence I'd widen the struts a little, the whole thing looks slightly weedy as it is. You just need more beef on it.

**Raven Night** · **Posted**: 05-19-2005 09:02 PM

I felt the same way, but I was trying to go for a visual cue, or ode perhaps, to the original centaur. Here are the pics of the original.

If you are designing totally new ships for BC2 (by the way im really excited about a bc2 i had no idea about it) Then may I suggest building battleships that are chunkier in design. Like a defiant type ship. One main problem with having warp nacelles out back of the ship is that they present a lovely target and they make a 'battleship' look weak and spindly. Also having large warp nacelles also limits firing arcs, or is this intended? I think the whole idea of having enterprise looking ships is good if your on a mission of peace but if you want a battleship then you should be going for somthing chunky! as i said, look to the Defiant!! thats one cool ship.

If i have the wrong idea of the game, where can i find the story line?
