I know it's not, but it almost looks as if the drive section could be latched on to a cargo container. Sort of a warp capable work-bee or cargo shuttle. I have thought of many designs to effectively move cargo containers from orbit to surface in the pre-TOS era. One never sees a space elevator at work in early Star Trek like ST:E prior to transporter technology. I don't recall the animated series very well. I had to look Aqua-Shuttle up on the net. Still it's a great image, though at first I wasn't sure if that's water or desert.

It sure would be neat to see a space elevator in Trek!

May try and do a version of this - one of the greatest ideas underused.
Oh yes, just refit the Delta Flyer.....
The colours are quality!

Now that is what I call "swoooosh!" Hehe!
Reminds me of a shot out of the movie Firefox.

How do you say "remember" in Russian???

I don't know but I'm sure there's a Russian/English dictionary on that anorak in the sky known as the internet.

I hear its a very useful thing for finding information, playing games, reading news, watching videos, and, urm, displaying artwork.

Well it might be because of his improvements along the way... resulting from reading folks' feedback

Yeah, I like his new textures a lot. Can't wait until everyone can play with it!

The TAS "El Nino" Class, about time someone did this one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Drell's had it in the workshop for some time now.

Its still good to see another TAS design being done - that series was underrated in many ways
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So who dubbed this "El Nino", anyway?? It's definitely a "New Testament" name
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Apparently its background info, someone at Paramount/Filmation thought up the name - I read it a few years back on an article on the Animated series, trouble is for the life of me I can remember WHERE
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It sounds to me like something that sprang out of Okuda's need to name everything for the Encyclopedia. I'm pretty sure Filmation never named it.... and "El Nino" didn't become a popularly recognized name until the 90's.

Hmm, funny enough the last edition of the encylopedia I had DIDN'T include TAS - its only recently become canon again, but I wouldn't be surprised it was him

She handles very well under your hand, friend! Look for the release tomorrow!

Any orthos as well? The type is official, so one of my datasheets is in order!

I can do some orthos. Probably should do some for the release...

Excellent - may I have your permission to use in a datasheet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure! Or you can do your own, as soon as I get the shuttle posted!

Thank you
Unfortunately, I haven't learned 3D rendering (yet), I keep meaning to get around to it - but I keep getting side-tracked by other things
