Because of last minute release date shifts the MK 1 will be featured on the cover. The original schedule was already extremely tight, so we decided to go with the MK1.
The good news is that I now can finish the MK2 without haste, so I can go over the details a bit longer, and really make it 3D printable.
I’m also playing with the idea to create the “Voyager fleet”. This fleet appeared in the books "Full Circle” and “Unworthy”, both by Kirsten Beyer.
Ships in the fleet:
1x Intrepid class (USS Voyager)
2x Vesta class (USS Esquiline & USS Quirinal)
3x unknown class ships (USS Hawking, USS Planck, & USS Curie)
1x unknown class medical ship (USS Galen)
1x unknown class mechanical/repair/transport (USS Achilles)
1x unknown class biological transport/production (USS Demeter)
Anyway, first I will focus on the Vesta.
A shot of the bottom in progress:
I look forward to further updates on the Full Circle Fleet Project!
ReplyDeleteThe Vesta looks good.
ReplyDeleteI re-read both books not too long ago. I'm pretty sure the Hawking is Nova class, so the other two science ships probably are too. The Galen is the prototype, so why not just design her yourself?

Looking forward to your work!
ReplyDeletegenius, absolute genius. the Vesta class is by far my favorite post-TNG starship design. i'm looking forward to the completed mk2, and whatever you have in-store for the rest of the Full Circle Fleet. awesome work!!!
ReplyDeleteYou do such great work, man. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThe USS Achilles might be the class ship of the Achilles-class in the DS9 Dominion Wars game (http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Achilles_class). It's sleek shape and large deflector may be compatible with quantum slipstream drive.
