@ rarcher- thanks! while making the U-40, I wanted to use the V-8 as a reference, for parts mainly, but the dimensions never worked out. The schematics I used were not even true to itself, and I had several sources citing different sizes for the same ship! Anyhoos, I whipped up a little something for reference sake. I didnt do too much with Fasa's version of the v-8 mainly because james43a did such a fine job, and i didnt want to re-engineer the wheel. I used the deckplans from 1977 as the primary source, but even it had some issues it seemed. Just for giggles and discussion

If I might suggest UFC? Shorten the pylon some on the D-15 it just seems to me at least way too long especially for combat you'd think a destroyer as more compact to reduce its overall profile just a suggestion mind you take it for what you want

I edited my last couple posts, added a shorter strut for the rom D15, as per rarcher's suggestion (looks good, nice call) and added game stats for the Maar Zhiin in pdf format. Thanks all!

Nice design! Though I question why the andorians are still making their own ships in 2271 but whatever! LOL

Thanks guys! rarcher-bryan @ tactical starshipcombat mentioned there was a shortage -actually a non-existence- of andorian ship designs. Theres tons of tellerite, vulcan, and some caitian designs if im not mistaken, but no andorian. Now why they would need vessels did cross my mind too...I figured after the events of "Journey to Babel" that the relationship between the founding members of the federation is still somewhat fragile. For security reasons most members maintain a small fleet of their own defense that Starfleet can call on as a reserve if needed. Maybe? <shrugs>

Yeah, the idea that all of the other races in the UFP just decided to start building human ships never sat right with me. In my imagination Starfleet has ships from all (or at least many) of the member races.
Probably up through Kirk's time, at least, Earth ships are mostly crewed by humans, Vulcan ships mostly crewed by vulcans, etc. There are probably some exchange programs that explain the occasional alien you see on human vessels. Even in TNG it seems that ships are still not fully integrated.

I wanted to try a gorn cruiser, following the design of the one that scarcely appeared in the remastered episode of "Arena". This one is a generation or two behind that one, circa 2245. Special thanks to Lee over at Morena shipyards for his "chartless shipbuilder" file and Bryan and the folks at FASATrek for the numbers. Gorn_MD-3_cruiser.pdf (78.03 KB)
