I've modeled the docking port! It's roughly the same size as the 1m one, so it should mesh together nicely. I haven't actually put it into the game yet, but that shouldn't be too hard. I already know how docking ports work from experimenting with the Enterprise D. Here's the animation:

Starvision, If I may add in something here GREAT work with the models you have put up. but as a mega huge super uber Defiant fan I would ask pretty please with kugar(sugar) on top would you start to work on a Defiant craft for us? I do know you have a plan of action already set up. But if you can bump up the Defiant sooner than later that would be great!

I also 2nd the Intrepid class Starship know as USS Voyager, and ask that you attempt to make along side the Voyage the Delta flyer, and Nelix's ship the Baxial.

Many many thanks in advanced!

What I think I'll end up doing is a poll. I'll include things that are on the list in the OP, and possibly more. I'll leave it up for a bit and then decide what to do. I think I'll hold on Voyager until I create a shuttle for the original Enterprise, because then I'll at least have some idea on how to create the shuttle bay+shuttle. The defiant I could see happening, maybe after the next ship. We'll see what happens.

Great stuff StarVision.

Anyways, The docking port is in the game now and I'm working on the chairs. I realized there was an easy way to make my chairs fit the Kerbals. I just imported one of the stock internals into Blender and, so now I can get the correct angles and sizes the various parts need to be. The chairs are pretty short, the width is easily twice the length. At some point I'll have to update the older internals with proper-fitting seats, but that can wait. I'm pretty close to being done, Just those chairs and sound to go. I'll probably also do some test runs, which I didn't really need to bother with for the previous ships.If anyone has any last minute requests for the ship I'll try and include them, so long as they're reasonable.

Here's the docking port in-game with a station. Also apparently the phoenix is basically a portable warp module, as showcased in the later images:

Good job!

I accidently picked two instead of three. Voyager is the best, I love it, tried to make it myself but the VTOL just didn't work, and I wanted animated nacelees. And I voted for the defiant. Defiant is awesome.

Borg cube... no. Honestly, I can make one up by building a cube in blender and adding textures. That's about it to a borg cube.

..if you make weapons though, THEN it gets interesting.

For my third, I would say redo of the Enterprise D. With seperation. I would use it a lot but it's horrible to look at.

[StarDrive85]

hi all i just registerd. i dont know why i cant vote. but i want to vote for 1=voyager 2=enterprise D redo 3=defiant

[The Destroyer]

You need at least 5 points posts on the forum to vote, I belive.

[Pigbear]

haha I didn't read vote top 3 until it was already going so I'll let you know that I was going to vote Defiant and Enterprise D redo too.

[StarVision]

Well it looks like the favourite choice is obvious! I think the way it will work is this:

1. Finish Phoenix (Within the week)
   
2. Voyager
   
3. Create Shuttle and Shuttlebay for Enterprise
   
4. Update Voyager with Shuttlebay/Delta Flyer
   
5. Defiant
   
6. Something else...(No need to plan that far ahead.)
   

Also for some reason the Unity scene and Blend files went corrupt. The Blend file said it was "incomplete", while the unity scene never loads. It's not too devastating. I already had a backup of the blend file from importing it into Unity, so the model's fine. The unity scene I shouldn't have to re-make as long as I don't change any of the parts. I'll have to set-up the internal, but that's only the model, not the props. Overall It shouldn't delay much.

Why did you go for shuttle and shuttle bay for enterprise instead of defiant?

Is it like a stepping stone to add shuttles to all the ships!

(if you have Voyager with Delta flyer I love you)

[War Eagle 1]

@StarVision.

Im really impressed with your Stargazer mod

Full scale Enterprise needs better asas though

But if I had to vote on something I would like to see a full scale UNSC Charon Class frigate from the Halo series. Like the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn.

It's basically just for me to figure out how to add a shuttlebay/make a shuttle. I already have the Enterprise, and the shuttle is pretty simple, so it shouldn't take too long. I do plan to make shuttles for all the ships. I'll make the original shuttle, the Delta Flyer, and a shuttle from the TNG era.

I'll make sure to up the ASAS when I do the shuttlebay, although the ship isn't supposed to be able to turn quickly. I'll probably update the Stargazer's bridge soon. It's a bit sparse compared to other Internals. I'm not sure on the Halo ship, not because of the size, but just because of all the little details on the hull. I feel like I couldn't do it justice. We'll see how Red Dwarf goes, as that should be pretty similar, after all, I need a break from Star Trek eventually.

Development is almost done! I just need/want to see what RPM looks like in the cockpit. here's a screenshot of how the Kerbals look in their new-ish seats:

[Pigbear]

How'd you get that view outside the cockpit?

You know when you click on a window and it changes the camera? I did that but made the camera outside.

I'm just doing the balancing and sounds now. I'm also throwing in an extra part as a "surprise". You'll have to wait and see what it is!

[MaverickSawyer]

Just for fun I added in the Warp drive from KSP Interstellar. I'm not sure what happened at the end. I guess KSP doesn't like me timewarping with Kerbals on a floating object.

Aha, looks like you met the NaN speed catapult.

[StarVision]

Well so much for releasing this weekend, but that's fine. I am actually finished the model and config files, I just want to test a proper mission and then take a load of screenshots. Expect a release tomorrow! Here's a random screenshot, as I don't like posting without one:

My problem is that I don't have any control over it. I can get it to boldly go forward but thats about it.

Also another idea I thought of would be the Arkbird from AC5 in 1:1 scale

And things were going so well too... My computers AC adapter isn't working and I'm not sure if it will again. I probably have 5-10 minutes battery. I'm on my iPod now but I could just upload the mod on Dropbox or something for anyone who's keen on "testing". Do people want this? I only really have one shot as my battery's basically dead.

OH! Me want! (I mean, if you have enough battery, I guess I can a day…..)

[StarDrive85]

i thought you said you were going to release it tomorrow ?

[StarVision]

Well I tried. When I booted up my computer it said it wanted to. Run a disk check. It froze after I cancelled it. Then when I rebooted it, it refused because it was out of power. Typical laptop behaviour. I'm going out later to hopefully get a new adapter. I'll still post a shoddy test version, just so when I do release it there will be less bugs.

Think you can do the dropship from district 9? here is a good side shot of it https://www.google.com/search?q=starship+enterprise&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=wB0EU-jqGYWO8AGZ0oGwAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1678&bih=989#q=district+9+dropship&tbm=isch&facrc=_&imgdii=t_VE8dl4HJM37M%3A%3BDr7bRlBd8Wd1wM%3Bt_VE8dl4HJM37M%3A&imgrc=t_VE8dl4HJM37M%253A%3BrwZZoQ6WdvuPyM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwormholeriders.com%252Fblog%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252FWetasArtOfDistrict911PDF_Pg124125WebRes.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwormholeriders.com%252Fblog%252F%253Fp%253D19673%3B576%3B226 just please.

Edit: It does require a pilot, also make a second varient without the troop holding part. So I can drop Vehicles were I need in Style.

That sounds more like a demand rather than a request. Regardless, that's not really the type of ship I really feel comfortable making. Not so much the model, but just the way it would function in KSP. I would highly suggest looking at some of Devo's mods. They seem to fall under the category that you're looking for. I also just have a kind of schedule planned out in my head, and I don't feel like disrupting it. Maybe someday I'll do something similar.

i thought you said you were going to release it tomorrow ?

OH! Me want! (I mean, if you have enough battery, I guess I can a day…..)

The new AC Adapter works like a charm and I can resume regular activities. I've got the "alpha" put together now. It includes the mod in it's mostly final state. The warp sounds are placeholders, but everything else should function normally. in total the mods around 80MB. It's pretty inefficient, but I've been gradually getting better with that.

Here's the link, it should have uploaded by now.

Please report any bugs/glitches, as this is primarily why I'm releasing it here and not everywhere else first.

[StarDrive85]

Can you please make a subassembly? or a ship file we can load?

[hydran101]

Im one of Devo's test pilots, He dosent have a dropship quite like the one I asked for. he has one from aliens but not from district 9
