USS Hades

[Starship]

Beautiful!

Question: Do those doors slide to the side, as opposed to the conventional clamshell configuration, or have you not gotten there yet?

I´m still debating with myself the best configuration. As you can see, I don´t have to much space to move the doors to the top or to the bottom, nor to the sides. So, I´ll have to find a creative way.
Perhaps a door with several "leafs" (planes) that move and overlap is the solution.
But I´m openned to suggestions.

Well, you seem to be following a (roughly) Miranda-like configuration with those twin doors. I believe the Reliant filming miniature had an articulated-looking pair of doors (though never shown open). It makes the most amount of physical and architectural sense to do a similar thing, albeit with a subtle curvature. Almost like a hybrid between the flat recessed Miranda doors and the curved clamshell Enterprise doors. YMMV.

Shuttlebay doors installed.

Perfect!

Updated.
- Plates
- Painting
- UVW
- Small details all around
- First try to build interiors. Just a learning exercise

interesting little shuttle

Nice progress! Those are some big engines, both impulse and warp, for a shuttle that size. Specialized for high speed or some particular mission profile?

Speed and long range flights.

Finally i think a did a good job with the phaser turrets.
I still need to correct uv´s and colors, add other minor details, but I´m very proud of this. As you can see, the turrets can cover almost 180 degress in any diretion for fire.

I´m trying to set the size of my USS Hades and would like to make her close to the Relliant. But I found at least 4 different specs:

230 meters lenght, a beam of 127.1 meters, and a height of 51 meters.
277.76 meters lenght; beam of 173.98 meters and a height of 65.23 meters.
237.6 meters lenght, Height: 58 meters, Width: 141.7 meters.
233 meters lenght, 64 meters tall and 140 meters width

Any ideas about which are the correct (or close to) dimensions?

Nice! You implemented my recommendation for 4x Pairs of Ball Turrets on the Dorsal side for superior Weapons Firing Arc coverage.

Now for the Ventral side, you can follow my recommendation to have superior weapons fire with 4x Pairs of Ball Turrets rotated 90° in placement on the Ventral side.

how wide is the refit enterprise's saucer? i would assume reliant's beam is the same. hades' seems to be very similar, but the the nacelles are outboard rather than tucked under or behind

 

[Bernard Guignard]

Beam on The Reliant Saucer and Uss Enterprise should be the same
in around the 140 meter mark if my memory serves me right
