Gman_builder Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 @Azimech I monitor the craft posts on KerbalX and the forums and i have noticed a recent influx in Star Trek themed ships. I am working on one myself and thought it was weird how many people started making them at the same time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueMason Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Need to solve some launch problems before I'll consider this completely finished (read: BOOSTERS WON'T STOP HITTING EACH OTHER), but otherwise the Columbia class is pretty much ready to fly! I did manage to get to space on my last attempt but the boosters didn't like that so they did their usual bumping into each other business and left me on a non-correctable sub-orbital trajectory Definitely not inspired by Star Trek that's for sure. Don't know what you're on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, after seeing that Excelsior class, I sort of want to try my hand at building my own Star Trek ships. I bet the Constellation class (USS Stargazer) wouldn't be too hard, nor would a Miranda class. Too bad I have too many projects going on right now to take on one of these giants. I remember you saying that Kerbals would be able to go to some parts of the ship, are you planning on making a functional hangar bay with shuttles as well?

With the scale 1:6 a 1.25m command pod doesn't fit through the door of the Excelsior shuttlebay. Kerbals can go through though. Miranda = always nice.

Yeah, but not as big as some Starfleet vessels, and I always thought it looked a little quirky. The upside to these things though it that it would be easier to build and it stands a closer chance of being made to exact scale. But on the other hand the Stargazer was Picard's first command, and I couldn't even name a ship in the Miranda series that did anything noteworthy at this time.

Gman_builder Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Mine is going to be a replica of the ship with a engine above and below the saucer. Seems easy to start with. I forget what that exact class of ship is called though. Edited August 16, 2016 by Gman_builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman_builder Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) USS Kelvin NCC-1701 No where near completion. I need to do a lot of work mostly on the lighting and the shape of the saucer. Currently it has 1900 m/s of DV in the main engines and 600 m/s of DV in the impulse engines. No where near warp drive but i'm working on it XD Current part count of 1,171 Edited August 17, 2016 by Gman_builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castille7 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Mini Enterprise My next little project, pun intended, because it is looking like Star Trek week on the forum lately. Working on a Mini Enterprise, the craft is performing surprisingly well but I can't say the same for the launcher. I would like for the launcher to stay somewhat proportional to the craft so I am still tweaking it at the moment. Lots of part clipping going on here with fuel tanks, batteries, generators..etc. Photo Album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only been active on the forums for about a years but to my knowledge this is the first time there has been more than a handful of people all intersted in the same topic at the same time. Plus, it wasn't a group effort. I ton of people all kind of gradually started building star trek themed craft at the same time, unprovoked.

Somehow I'm reminded of the episode of TNG where he lost his powers and went to the Enterprise for help, then Data let him eat like ten chocolate sundaes in one meal. This is Q, right? Anybody willing to make a signature badge for the Great Starfleet Bandwagon of 2016? Edited August 18, 2016 by pTrevTrevs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
