I'm sure the shuttle pilots really enjoy having a big important nacelle to avoid when they leave and arrive on the ship each time. Even if I kept the nacelle low (makes the bussard kinda useless, doesn't it?), the top shuttle bay would still cut it close when launching shuttles.

Somehow, I doubt the Galaxy-X creators were too concerned with design aesthetics and common sense when they made that thing.

What about the Nebula-class, WZ? Aside from the Phoenix and Melbourne variants, I'm sure it's the case for many shuttlecraft pilots operating on Nebula-class Starships, having to avoid the pylon supporting the triangular-shaped pod every time.

Actually Chris on the Nebula ( and her 3 varients) I have seen the shuttlebay placed into the weapon pod support structure so it wouldn't interfere with any but the saucer bay. Perhaps that's another solution. No saucer bay, and make the third narcelle support wide enough to house shuttlebays ?

...or simply not bother with a "Titan-X" at all? Really, all it would end up being is the Titan with a third nacelle and pylon welded onto it. The other fanboyish elements of the Galaxy-X wouldn't have a place on this design if for no other reason than having to rework parts of the ship to accommodate the new ones. I *might* release a conversion kit later on, which has custom engineered parts for a Titan-X version for kitbashers to use. As far as me making one directly though, I don't have any plans for it.

The saucer shuttle bay on the Nebula and the aft saucer phasers were probably intended for a non-pod version of the ship or some other configuration that doesn't have those parts obstructed. The supposed shuttle bay in the aft pod pylon would most likely be used when the normal pod is installed.

Uhhhh......what's B&B stand for? Sorry, I don't have cable TV. :-(

Beavis and Butthead

Ok... ouch my stomach It's time to stop joking. Chris is telling the truth above

But as for WZ's work it is awesome. As I said... no disrespect but full respect. There are really few designs that kicks ass. Most of them are yours WZ. This one keeps my mouth open in a strange grimace of amusement and I can't speak thus words cannot express how I like this ship from a pic

Great work and keep going

(but please don't call this ship another Titan - there are lots of Titans and she is to beautyfull ship to be under command of William T Riker)

If he releases blanks, you can substitute the Titan name. Besides, this ship had already been named the Titan when it was using Atolm's model when WZ retextured it. Consider this a design upgrade from that Titan model.

I was thinking perhaps instead of that supercannon, something more like the twin blasters on the Ronin? They could be shoved under the leading edge of the saucer, or eveb above the deflector. Plus you wouldn't want something that looks like a replica of the agt ent-d anyways. In either event this ship has plenty of potential.

Well, like your quote of WZ, Starforce, there's little originality in adding a third nacelle, giving it a big gun or two and calling it the "Whatever-X". It's also fanboy-ish a design as WZ said it is. Just be glad he's thinking about the possibility of a "conversion kit".

BUMP! Gotta keep this baby on top.

Wicked Zombie · « **Reply #50 on:** January 21, 2005, 03:07:08 am »

The entire top half of the saucer is finished, including a redone set of escape pods. The lower half of the hull is also completed along with a few other details.

yea I wasn't saying it wasn't fanboyish. Just like with the quote...might not be very original but it can still work..I just quoted that cuz it gave me a laugh.

Attention to detail, accuracy and perfection..... you can stare at these WIP and still not find anything to pick up....

darkthunder · « **Reply #56 on:** January 22, 2005, 09:30:39 pm »

I like the fact that this is more or less a Galaxy Class, with Sovereign elements. Best Titan mesh i've seen yet.

CC22 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 24, 2005, 04:24:52 pm »

Wow! That is one of the most beautiful models i have ever seen. Can't wait for this one. Btw WZ are you planning on doing a Galaxy-class at any point? If this is anything to go by it would be top notch.
