In Honor of the Equinox


Nova Class:  A mid-range explorer and planetary survey craft.  Not for deep-range exploration... Like to the delta quadrant.  No, really.  Don't do it.

Nova Refit: Interdictor.  A later refit model of the nova, replaces the fore-sensor array and auxiliary deflector dish with an energy drain beam.  This is a light pt-boat, not a major combat craft.  If you have a smuggler problem, great.  If you have a military incursion, flee.

Nova Carrier:  A variant of the Nova with down-swept nacelles, and a large outboard docking frame capable of supporting a single modular mission plate.

Soyuz

Based on the Miranda, The Soyuz adds a large extension to the rear of the hull, and  four outboard non-engine nacelles.  Whether those are sensor pods or large fixed canon emplacements seems to vary with the source.

Rickover Class: Tactical Logistics Carrier

The Rickover tactical logistics carrier is an automated materiel delivery system.  These ships are meant to function with minimal or no crew, freeing ships of the line from the mundane work of logistical support. More than just a freighter, the Rickover is designed to be a military asset.  12 of her docking ports are powered and articulated to accept the same turrets installed on federation warships.  This allowed the Rickover to deliver even valuable supplies without a destroyer escort.

The class is named for Hyman G Rickover, a Terran wet-navy admiral of the 20th century.
“Bitter experience in war has taught the maxim that the art of war is the art of the logistically feasible.”  -- Admiral Hyman Rickover, USN

Miranda Class: Ticonderoga Variant

The Ticonderoga is a sub-class of the Miranda.    She boasts two additional outboard AMC arrays, but sacrifices  the "rollbar" and its torpedo (missile) arrays.







Miranda Class: Apache Variant

The Apache is a sub-class of the Miranda.   While the Standard Miranda might be slightly starved for energy, the Apache does not suffer from that malady.  She boasts 4 warp nacelles, increasing her speed and her energy output.  She also has two additional outboard AMC arrays

MMP: Outpost

This is not a ship, but a utility module or "Modular Mission Plate" for the Miranda, Ticonderoga, Soyuz, and other variants on the same basic hull.

The Outpost is a prefabricated building, suitable for dropping on planets for quick colonization




MMP: Blank Plate

This is not a ship, but a utility module or "Modular Mission Plate" for the Miranda, Ticonderoga, Soyuz, and other variants on the same basic hull.

This is just a blanking plate to protect the MMP Docking port when not in use.  It does provide additional shielding.

MMP: Utility Carrier

This is not a ship, but a utility module or "Modular Mission Plate" for the Miranda, Ticonderoga, Soyuz, and other variants on the same basic hull.






MMP: Dual Turret

Mounted on a Miranda
This is not a ship, but a utility module or "Modular Mission Plate" for the Miranda, Ticonderoga, Soyuz, and other variants on the same basic hull.







MMP: Longboat

The Longboat is a planetary exploration and supply vessel, designed to be carried between star systems by a larger vessel.  It is neatly scaled for hull transportation on ships designed for the purpose such as the Miranda, Soyuz, or Ticonderoga.





MMP: Combat Carrier

This is not a ship, but a utility module or "Modular Mission Plate" for the Miranda, Ticonderoga, Soyuz, and other variants on the same basic hull.






TMP Miranda, New Version

For those who have been following my efforts, I have never been more pleased or proud of one of my ships than I am of the new Miranda.  The new blocks smooth the hull beautifully.  The interior is much more developed.  I've learned new tricks and added new features.   This ship will set the standard for my future efforts.



Note!  This was created under StarMade pre-release 0.107.  I have no idea how it will behave under older versions.

Star Trek 1:1 Automated Weapons Platforms


The Automated Weapons Platform (AWP) is an attempt to build the combat capabilities of a main-line starship into a framework which is inexpensive, customizable, and  functionally disposable. The AWP series are purpose built, from existing mass-produced parts.  The reactor and engineering section is from a sublight tug.  The nacelles are standard for light scouts of the era.  The turrets are standard base turrets.  Redundant deflectors allow the craft to more easily push through combat debris like a  heavier craft.

Sector: StarTrek 1 to 1, Federation Space Dock


This is my biggest build yet.  The Federation Space Dock is a full 1 to 1 scale ship construction facility scaled to accommodate even a full scale Galaxy, Sovereign or Nebula class ship.

Note!  This is a full sector export with a star-base, not a ship!  See instructions here: http://star-made.org/content/exportimport-whole-sectors

LAG WARNING!  This thing is frimping huge.  If you could move planets, you could park one inside the structure.  Not for systems faint of processor or light of memory!

  • 20 base-turrets defend the structure
  • A spacious shuttle and loading dock allows for ample parking
  • A shop module is built in, allowing for easy storage and deployment of ship-building supplies

Shipyard 60

The shipyard 60 in foreground with the faint
shipyard 120 under construction in the background.

The Star Trek franchise often shows ships in an orbiting "Space Drydock".  These construction, repair and maintenance facilities are both the birth cradles and the hospitals for craft whose size or structure rules out construction under planetary gravity.

This is the first and smallest planned shipyard.  It is meant to house ships whose Length, Width and Height are all less than 240x120x60 meters.

Star Trek: Nova Class

Original Source Material: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Nova_class
Download Links:



In the late 24th century the Nova was commissioned as a class of  small planetary research vessels.  One of the class, featured prominently in a two part series of Voyager episodes "Equinox" parts 1 and 2.

Mass: 5681
LxWxH = 167x83x34
Power:108233 (796176.1 e/s)
Thrust 16135.1
Shields 242710 (5920 s/sec) Recovery: 3.0
10 unenhanced turret ports.

Star Trek: Miranda Class Refit

LxHxW = 242x72x143
Power:6647172.6 (1139673.7 e/s)
Thrust 29027.2
Shields 354016 (7769 s/sec) Recovery: 3

The Miranda class is best known as the prototype for the Reliant, The ship hijacked by Kahn Singh in the motion picture "The Wrath of Kahn".  Miranda shares many of the same stylistic elements from the refitted Constitution class, but in a more compact form with the secondary hull integrated into the disk shaped primary hull that was the signature element of most Federation ships.

Star Trek (movies+) K't'inga

Photohttp://star-made.org/node/9600

Mass: 7988.2
LxWxH = 218x63x138
Power:1102492.6 (1073558.3 e/s)
Thrust 21620
Shields 322789 (7269 s/sec) Recovery: 3.0

The K't'inga was the "new" Klingon ship designed for "The Motion Picture".  It really is substantially similar to the D7.  It's supposed to be a new ship model, rather than a retrofitted older craft, but it bears a lot closer resemblance to the D7 than does the "refitted" enterprise to its appearance in the original series.

Star Trek D7 Battle Cruiser

PhotoKlingon: http://star-made.org/node/9598
Mass: 6588.4
LxWxH = 218x64x140
Power:606160.6 (854567.1 e/s)
Thrust 18844.5
Shields 96394 (3045 s/sec) Recovery: 2

Romulan: http://star-made.org/node/9598

Power:606160.6 (854567.1 e/s)
Thrust 18844.5
Shields 96394 (3045 s/sec) Recovery: 2

The D7 Cruiser was the standard enemy ship of the original Star Trek series.  Designed by Walter "Matt" Jeffries to evoke the threatening lines of a manta-ray these ships became the instantly recognizable face of the enemy.

Star Trek Defiant Class

Faction: Federation
Era: TNG

Mass: 4484.2
LxWxH = 122x23x92
Power:1345156 (433336.3e/s)
Thrust 7394.4
Shields 51365 (1935 s/sec) Recovery: 1
(not to be confused with the TOS constitution class star ship of the same name NCC-1764)

The Defiant class was designed as a "Borg fighter" It was therefore exceptionally tough and well armed for its size and incorporated the latest technologies.
