Some updates
Created some time ago as a little helper for me during the design of the Vesta.
A four page PDF file that shows primary specifications. These where/are not final but more of a rough guideline to me and some writers.
Part below is a quote from the spec list that still has to be taken out. It was intended to be a justification for the creation of the MK.II that I decided to cancel anyway. Instead I made small changes to the MK.I.
LOG ENTRY:
This refit is planned to convert the Aventine NCC-82602 from a "McKinley" (NX) pattern to a "DeSilvo" pattern (NCC).
While labeled as an "NCC" the Aventine currently is identical to NX-82600. (U.S.S. Vesta) with exception of the added experimental quantum slipstream conversion.
NCC-82602 is subject to refit earlier as expected because of the destruction of NX-82600 during the war against the Borg. The refit is scheduled to start at stardate 58969.656 and will take up to 4 months. Currently the Aventine is docked in drydock 18 here at Utopia Plantitia. Drydock 18 is an enclosed dock that requires a higher security clearance and is off limits to all normal personal, including medical staff.
Spec list link thingy
In other news: these brown blog colors look kind of heavy. (what was I thinking.) I will change that back soon. (EDIT: DONE!)
Anything else?
A small deck layout for the Demeter, IF it stays at it's current 216 meter size. It might be too small for the desired hydroponic bays capacity. I might size it up a deck or 2.

Thanks for the spec list - and I actually prefer the previous blog look to the dark one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update - it's almost like Christmas came early.
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a spec list. Each ship class on the STO website should have one of those.
ReplyDeleteThe profile of the Demeter reminds me a lot of the Akira class.
ReplyDeleteI always imagined the hydroponics bays to be much larger, able to accommodate big tropical plants, and with huge windows into space. Kind of as if they'd strapped a few of the Eden Project’s biomes onto a starship. Every time I think of that I always tell myself off for imagining such an impractical design, in terms of a controlled environment for science; what with all the stuff that might find its way through huge windows into space - Makes a nice mental image though.
