StarMade Shipwright: TOS Miranda Version 5

The existence of an "original series" version of the Miranda class is NOT cannon to the star-trek universe, and is a matter of some debate among the Trek geeks. It is not my intent to express an opinion, just to build a fun and pretty ship. My previous build of this ship was based more closely on the Reliant from the Wrath of Khan. This version is a lot closer to the TOS styling and vision of Matt Jeffries.

WARNING! This ship was built under the current DEV version 0.103. I have no idea what will happen if you try to load it under earlier versions

The deceptively large interior space makes this a versatile craft, equippable for exploration, cargo or combat. The Miranda could also be considered a "pocket carrier" as it's large shuttle bay allows it to carry as many as a dozen shuttles or fighters.

Jump-tubes are vertical passage ways that replace the space-eating ramps that I had been using. Being more directly vertical, they also more closely resemble the design of the turbo-lifts that made the designs of the original star-trek craft even plausibly functional.

Did you ever notice the two dark recesses on the Dorsal hull of a Miranda-class starship? Although we never really got to the the Miranda in regular service, I always imagined that those looked like docking ports for large equipment rigs. Heck you could stick anything up there to expand the versatility of the vessel. I imagined a fuel pod and a sensor array for deep-range exploration. I imagined external shuttle pads for intensive search and rescue operations. External weapons pods, starship parts delivery, self-contained habitats for outposts or colonies. The possibilities seemed endless. The only thing in the way was that strange "roll-bar". But perhaps that was only an optional feature added after-market to a standard model ship?

These musings led me to create my fifth-version of the TOS Miranda. This one had no roll-bar, but it DID have docking fields on each side big enough for all sorts of possibilities.

Full 1:1 scale based on the diagrams and schematics from the original designers.
Powered, armed, shielded and ready to fly.
Interior spaces have decks and hallways. Most rooms are left for you to define
Detailed modeling of the bridge, main engineering and shuttle bay.
The shuttle bay has two working bay doors, which can be opened via docking beam.
Unfinished basement. Plenty of room in the "shoulders" of the ship for rooms, shields, or armaments
Ship comes with 2 versions of TOS shuttles.
Tuned weapons arrays give this Miranda much sharper teeth than her predecessors.
12 turrets provide off-axis defensive capability
Bunkered ship-core for more staying power in a fight
2 oversized docking ports on the ships upper deck serve weapons or utility platforms.
Jump tubes allow easy movement between decks.
