Mantaray Class Corvette

A renewed version of a original version I made for the Star Trek Enterprise Recognition Manual I mentioned before. The first image showing the old version while the new one shows the more detailed and final version.

The Mantaray is a well armed small starship mainly used in a support, escort or fast attack roles by Starfleet Command. Armed with rapid fire microtorpedo launchers along with 4 phasers it packs quite a punch.

I hope that one day I might finish this job but as it stands now some more presssing issues are at hand. Even so it was a fun project.

Star Trek ENT Era Recognition Manual

A project that deserves much more attention then I am giving it right now.

A Jane's Fighting Ships style booklet but then situated during the Earth Romulan War.

I am in the progress to updating the images with a new style so I will first post the old images and add newer versions as I go. Even so I have some images that I will keep since those already worked out quite well.

2 Of those are a fighter and a bomber design. The fighter being a single seater armed with pulse lasers and missiles while the bomber has a dual seat configuration similar to a A-6 Intruder and is armed with only torpedoes and a impressive electronics warfare package.

Chronicles of Man II

Something new and something old. Showcasing a revised version of a destroyer replacing the older image (the second). It mainly has different details and in my opinion a better layout then the old design which looks less convincing armed with to heavy guns and a large dropship bay.

The new version seen here has 2 single barrel guns, 6 missile tube (3x2) and 2 at the front as its main offensive capabilities. It also is issued with state of the art CIC and ECM capabilities making it able to command a small taskforce and deploy effective anti missile screens.

The old design was less agile looking but was better armed missiles wise but needed to sacrifice ECM and sensory capabilities. It was also sacrificed speed since its single cruiser sized gun turret soaked up a lot of the available energy.

Chronicles of Man I

A fast transport, a civilian variant and its military counterpart. A design I actually like better then several of the warship designs made so far (which I will post later on). It is atmospheric capable and is able to land as well.

Star Trek Origins part II

This weekend I worked out two designs for Star Trek Origins one being a Borgified Romulan Warbird, the other being a 'Borg' Vessel. Both ships turned out pretty well in my opinion.

I added the Enterprise in the second picture as a scale reference.

Chronicles of Man Designs

As part of something completely different I have joined the universe, designed and created by Josheua Samuelson (http://thechroniclesofman.com/), quite some time ago and created several starship designs for several factions. The main faction is the Free Republic of Veridia which is loosely based on Scandinavian and the Low Lands during WW2 but with Scandinavian and Chinese immigrants. But that being said in the far future obviously.

Two designs of a small gunship/dropship and a larger dropship which are both used by the FRVN Marine Corps (Free Republic of Veridia Navy) to be added to the bigger capital ships for boarding and planetary drop missions.

Mercury Class Scout

As an ungoing venture I designed this vessel as part of a starship recognition book. Showcasing Enterprise era/Earth-Romulan War. In this case I am redesigning older designs in a new improved look.
The first image shows the old design and the second the new improved one.

The Mercury Class scout is a advanced high speed vessel with a crew of 8 man. Lightly armed the ship relies on its advanced sensors and speed to gather information and report back to its assigned fleet. It has 1 small specially designed shuttlepod for atmospheric exploration and can reach up to speeds of warp 6.3 with a standard cruising speed of 4.
