Description
Okay, yet another style of interface. I actually like this one even more than the one I used on the Iolair Library File piece.Related content

Is this class capable of Planetary entry and exit like the Intrepid and Vesta classes can or no?

She can fly through atmospheres and hover, but she's not equipped with landing gear.

Please I need more about her! I love her.
What are these:
1. Polyphasic Deflector Shields
2. Multi Axis Warp Field
I love to see more of her interior mate!

Polyphasic deflector shields... uh... ask me a few years back haha. If I had to guess what I meant (other than technobabble), they're capable of changing their state of matter depending on the incoming weapon or other potential source of damage. What's typically a conformal energy shield can, upon impact, solidify and disperse kinetic energy (e.g. an inbound meteor strikes the shield, which solidifies, and both shatter into clouds of dust). The conformal energy shield then coalesces around the hole which had been formed like new tissue covering a wound.
The multi axis warp field is a product of having two-dimensional warp grilles/fins. By varying the point of peak power along the grid, the geometry of the warp field can be modified and redirected like a fighter aircraft with vectored thrust. Be it for redirecting scanners or tactical targeting, the ship's body axis can be offset against the velocity vector.
As for the interior, that's never been my strong suit, but here's a corridor: jamietakahashi.deviantart.com/…

Finally a Feddy ship that I like,excellent.......now where's the physical model?

The physical model, you say? In my dreams, that's where it is haha.

Hmm... She's a lovely design, filling out her basic needs nicely. (Not to mention the fairly unique hull structure.) The only thing that piques me is that she has such an armament. Albeit it looks good on paper, it just doesn't make much sense within the realm of Trek.
As for the design, I love the fins, the dynamic, predatory shape, and her major systems, such as the shield array, look awesome. She seems to have a Prometheus style saucer, the hull of an Excelsior, and the nacelles of an Excalibur, plus the fins from the reject Intrepid model. It all works quite well, and feels like something I could expect to see, instead of another botch job.

"First conceived as an interdictor during the Dominion War, the design was shelved for over a decade. During this time, other ships came and went, and the need for the Avenger Class seemed to dwindle.
In 2388, however, in light of the Quadrennial Defense Review, Starfleet determined that they would need a new science vessel. Something larger than the Intrepid Class that would incorporate all of the advancements in technology that came about as a result of USS Voyager's seven year trip through the Delta Quadrant. At that point, someone doing their best impression of a voice in the wilderness chimed up to remind them all that there was a spaceframe designed and ready for such a task.
In 2393, after extensive modification and upgrade analysis, the green light was given to the Avenger Class. As a reminder to the design's heritage, the class prototype, USS Avenger NX-101468, would retain its original name. All other ships of the class would be given names of explorers and scientists, however."

That explains the background. Most of the time, she uses the torpedo tubes as probe launchers, and with the events of the Typhon Pact and whatnot, all ships are more well armed, though made not to look like warships.
At any rate, that ship's my real pride and joy. You can get right down on her hull and not lose too much quality like here [link]

Quite an interesting story, and well thought out. I commend your sense of realism, and the qualities that you've put into the narrative.
As for the unusual qualities of it's weapon systems, there are a few discrepancies with Star Trek lore I'm curious about. First, most phaser arrays can project as much power as the ship can manage, and more arrays are usually only added to cover blind spots. Second, why so many separate torpedo bays, and with different types of torpedoes? A Quantum Torpedo launcher fires Photon Torpedoes perfectly well, so why not upgrade all of them? Heehee, sorry for being such a bother, I'm just a bit of a stickler for canon. ^^
Beautiful shot! I'm impressed by the level of detail you put into the skin.

As for the phasers, hopefully the arrangement can provide double coverage. Potentially, two different spots could be hit at once by two different arrays.
As for the number of launchers, well, that's just an attribute of the original warship nature that never went away. It'll come in useful in ST:AVG Seasons 4-7 though...(No spoilers.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seems unnecessary, since most of the time a single array can handle as much power as the warp core can usually shunt to weapons. It's not a bad idea though, just seems like overkill to me. Still, always having a backup is useful!
Perhaps my mistake is that your ship doesn't have that many tubes, just launch capacity. Technically the Galaxy-class only has one forward and one rear torpedo bay, but the forward bay has the ability to launch seven in it, while the rear can launch five. Or is there some other reason for the many tubes, such as a wide number of arcs of fire that can be covered? In any case, I am curious.

Read it and weep haha
With the Avenger, the number of phaser arrays is kinda deceptive compared to a Galaxy or Sovereign. The ones on the Primary Hull are split in half, unlike the continuous ones on other ships.
As for the number of torpedo launchers, I had figured, based on the Sovereign, that they weren't interchangable. The photon torpedo tubes are still capable of launching probes, but I don't know about the quantum torpedo tubes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see, they have a phaser arrangement similar to the Intrepid-class layout, being all segmented. It's a workable arrangement, so I have no debate on that.
Here the problem is that "Torpedo Launcher" and "Torpedo Tube" do not have the same meaning. A launcher is simply the bay that contains any number of tubes, each which can fire off more than one torpedo. The Sovereign-class seems deceptive in this, though realistically it had four originally, then they upgraded it to five because of a mistake in the movies. It also doesn't help that they give the illusion that photon and quantum torpedoes are different, even though both Defiant and Intrepid-class ships can fire either/or at any time. The people who edited that article had only what they could see in the films to go off of, and they didn't pay that much attention to what they were saying in context. (Admittedly, I made the same mistake earlier in the conversation, so I guess I can't exactly talk.

Okay, if we're to get into that kind of semantics haha it's 4 and 4 for the tubes. Basically, two forward dorsal, two forward ventral, two aft just behind the shuttlebay, and two aft in the mid engineering section. I prefer to have several spaced out. Remember the damage to the Enterprise's torpedo launcher in TWOK? one shot could have rendered both inoperable. Typically four of the tubes are inactive, but if needed, they're there. And since she was originally a warship, it still fits with her historical design.

Sounds good to me! Sorry for all the debating, I just loooooove to be technical with ship designs. Due to this fact, I hate Defiant and all of the physics involved in it's design! XD

She's got her issues for sure, but hey, I still like her. I've never come across a canon ship I didn't like (with the exception of the DS9 Frankenfleet)

Heh, I suppose so. It's just annoying to deal with inconsistencies in a ship design. I guess I can't complain, it was more actual Star Trek, after all.

holy shit. it looks like a cross between a WW2 jet, a Delta class starship and a TIE fighter

Well, I hope that's meant in a good way, haha.

thats freekin awsome!!!! it looks like something we could realy bild nowadays but still looks some much cooler then most Federation ships. great job

Why thank you, I may have found a style to stick with.
