Without reference points, I can't tell what class (size) it is.  Nice shape... but how big (or small) is it?

Lemmie guess,...

Frigate, right?

I say that 'cause the impulse engines are so far aft. I think that they'd be farther forward on a bigger ship.

I like it, I like it...

How many polys (just curious)?

From the size of the bridge module, I'm guessing light cruiser? Interesting that you have the impulse deflection crystal on a TOS style ship. Perhaps this ship was the test bed for that technology?

The only thing that is making me scratch my head a little is the thin hull aft of the impulse drive.

An interesting design.

Frigate? Pretty large nacells to saucer ratio. Maybe a police or scout.

Seriously though it looks like one tough little Frigate or Police ship could even be a Gun Cutter for that matter. I dig the originality of the design.Manitoba can have THIS ONE first but I get it second   j/k

I was thinking it would be an escort Destroyer/very light cruiser, Maybe this is the largest police ship available a Police Light Cruiser. For patrol in settled systems where a capitol ship is not needed but where a larger ship would be a good idea. Say along an unsettled internal border  Vulcan/Andorian?  Tellerite/Edoan?  who knows.
The thin area aft of the impulse was just a thought i think i will make it thick enough to be an actual deck.

It's about 9000 poly's right now. I haven't optimized her yet.

Police cruiser

About time someone gave the MP Corps some decent equipment!

Do you play SFB? IF so, the Early Years heavy cruiser woud be a good place to look for how to arm her (after you update it a bit):
6xPhaser-1's (heavy cruiser arcs)
2xPhoton Torpedos (FA arc)

Of course, she'd nead at least 1 rear-firing phaser and a couple of drone racks.

Great ship- I'm definately gonna get this one!

here is the most recent side ant aft quarter view.

The thin area is thick enough to be a deck perhaps this is the police training facility.

MP's dont need anything this fancy. all they do is go around making trouble for some of us enlinsted and officers. ( ex-squid here) thats a story for another time.  i was thinking like escort duties for this baby. kinda like state police are like.  perchance ur ship is somewhat like my DEWEY class. http://michaelmccauley.fotopic.net/c185669.html lol

I love the idea !!!! A border patrol Police Light Cruiser.Like 111wallace111 suggested when you don't need a capital ship. Think of this as a  Mobile Police Station  perhaps she carries PFT's and Ftrs that patrol like squad cars.Perhaps even a SWAT team. How's that for an idea? As for class......How about  F-PCL  ? She could have Fed security force markings on the hull.That long area near the shuttlebay could be where the PFT's are parked ( like fighters on a carrier deck ) one row on either side of the rampway that leads to the shuttle hanger. Stuff to consider.

Post by: J. Carney on June 02, 2004, 02:01:08 pm

And the 'squad cars' need to come seperate, too...  so as we can meke them into armed fighters for the ship to launch!

Nice, but I like the shield alone without the Enterprise delta behind it. But I think that the delta gets overused anyway.

Can't wait to see the finished product, man...
Title: Re: Wip
Post by: Fallen_Warrior on June 02, 2004, 05:45:58 pm
i have an idea about the insignia for the police if you think about it they are just like the M.A.K.O.S in enterprise but without all the impressive hardware so why not use the mako insignia with a less milatary feel to it
Title: Re: Wip
Post by: ModelsPlease on June 03, 2004, 12:43:47 am
I like it but I would loose the delta as well from behind the badge.

I have a couple of more ideas for you to ponder sir.

For a ship class I submit...........

 The Peacekeeper Class  or  The Enforcer Class

Instead of NCC perhaps  FCC which stands for   Federation Circuit Court  

and for individual ship names may I offer............

 USS Judge Dredd
 USS Harry Callahan -aka The "Dirty Harry"

Thought that might be cool.  
Title: Re: Wip
Post by: J. Carney on June 03, 2004, 11:59:20 am
YES, YES, YES!!!

I love that ModelsPlease!

This thing has GOT to be the U.S.S. Harry Callahan-class.

That is so fricken' perfect.

For some alertnate regestries:

U.S.S. Joe Friday
U.S.S. Francis Poncherello
U.S.S. T.J. Hooker

and maybe even
U.S.S. Roscoe P. Coletrain
 
Title: Re: Wip
Post by: ModelsPlease on June 04, 2004, 06:33:40 am
The  USS HARRY CALLAHAN_ ENFORCER CLASS_ F-PCL does sound pretty cool huh? I love the Roscoe P Coletrain one that rocks !!!! And the others as well,all great ideas.

let me as well add as alternates registries.

USS Kojak
USS Baretta
USS Columbo

Better yet all those shuttles will need names as well   ( just like the old Galileo).

Ok so i thought i would name the actual ship after the cars used by the police forces in todays world. Caprice, Fairlane, grand marquis,. ect.....
the "police cars" will be named after histrical/theatrical officers. The one i am using now is Phil Chacon. He was a cop in Albuquerque shot in the line of duty. I thought it might be cool to get a list of the officers from 911 and name a few after them.

Ok it's a little less playfull then The "Barny Fife" but i think it gets the point across.
Title: Re: Wip
Post by: J. Carney on June 04, 2004, 02:58:44 pm
If you are naming after cars, you can't forget the AMC Javelin or the GM Impalla- those were what the State Troopers in AL used as pursuit cars.... though the Javs had to keep a lot of spare parts in the trunk to fix whatever broke dduring the chase, cause those things were just too fast for their own good- they were always falling apart.

Though I'd name the 'cars' after the cars and stick with the traditional stlye of naming the ships after people.

  bummer it would have been cool to have "The Dirty Harry"
