Description The Franz Joseph Dreadnought, in all her three-nacelled glory.

Again, I have learnt many useful things during the building of this ship.


Mesh by me (woo-hoo-hoo!!!)

This is awesome, as always!!

(Incidentally, I've been working on an Excelsior Technical Manual project over at the Trekbbs that I was curious if I might be able to get permission to use a few of your renders, such as this one, as illustrations in it. With full credit, of course. )

Excellent work.

Why does have three deflector dishes? (Or is it just about aesthetic balance?)

Thank you.

I don't know about the three dishes, Franz Joseph probably added them for a reason...

I've always been a big fan of the Dreadnought. It's a beautiful thing. Then again, I've always believed that all the Franz Joseph stuff should be canon.

Keep up the great work.

Canon or non-canon, it never really matters, all we need is spiffy Trek

Neocene [2009-05-03 03:54:14 +0000 UTC]

The Dreadnought was one of those non-cannon ships that always amazed me. It would've been awesome if they would've included at least one in the remastered original series. I know they made a lot of appearances in the Starfleet command video game series. I played all of those.

There are several maps + skins but there are 2 mods that I know of that has a story... or "story", this Virtual Dreadnought, and one that is based off an episode called "The Argas Effect". It is an AWESOME mod. You play as Kirk and the entire Enterprise crew is dead, only you alive...!

I love the dreadnought from the Original Series. And, I've loved flying them in many a game of Star Fleet Battles--well, after the upgrade, anyway--before the upgrade, it was the best cruiser in space.

The picture, of coarse, is perfect.

It was not an easy one to build. I had to remodell the neck four or five times and the engineering hull two times.

Don't you know this design? It's not a Connie, it's a Federation class dreadnought. Franz Joseph Schnaubelt designed it.
