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.

No, but the original battleship is sov inspired....the structure of the top end and the forward torp area are similar. I like the hawkish, almost blade-like shape of the Sov in those areas.

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.

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.

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.

Ok, saucer sep is possible if I put the old saucer back on...I actually played with that idea before I went with the fixed one. Could try a sep variant.

As to the other suggestion, why dont you grab one of the pics and show me what you mean.

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.

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?

The storyline is evolving as we storyboard it to make it work for the game...we have released small bits of it, but do not wish to release it all for obvious reasons.
