Star Trek: Nova Class ship being built

Oh boy… another star trek ship in SL…

Yes that is right, another star trek is going to be built in SL, some location problems are just now being worked out but it looks like there will be room to fit a small 170m by 80m ship.

More details to come. Check out: http://slquadrant.proboards53.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1141228264&page=1
For additional information.


Standard hallway (deck 1)


Bridge (deck 1)


Apparatus for the Eject-able Warpcore (decks 5-8)


Holodeck (non working at this time) (deck 4)


Main Engineering (deck 7)

Impressive and cool, Sakai. I'm looking forward to visitng.

As to prim limits and space, I just wanted to mention the approach I took when I was making a 1701 refit, which was to create only interiors and have people transport on board from the planet's surface. Basically something more like Star Trek Experience in Vegas. You can always put a scale model behind a window for a fake external view. Don't know if it's applicable in your case, but I thought I'd mention it.

Good luck on the ambitious project.

For this ship I am making it to scale and using some existing deck plans as reference when constructing it. There are a few errors in the plans I have because the person who made them was lazy. But I will work around it, and plan for it to be a ‘complete’ 8 deck ship and hopefully have a full interior. (if primes will allow).

A ship legend and map will be provided to people who enter the ship, because even though it is small, people who are unfamiliar with the interior maze of the ship may find themselves lost. (especially because the doors are all the same). As of now I will have the turbolifts will be marked for ease. Depending on how the project continues, all the doors will get labeled.

Options that are being explored in the ship is by having the holodecks used for a dance club, or other social gathering place, and possibly using some ‘yet to be determined space’ as a small shop location, if space permits.

More pictures will come as the ship gets more developed.

really impressed with the modelling.
a thought for the holodeck - several people walk into the holodeck room. the operator 'initialises' the desired program, and all the people get sent on mass to another area of SL. same for transporters.

Yes, I am asking myself the same question.

It looks to be in Galaxy based on the map, but I can't find it there :)

Any help?

UPDATE:

Well, I did have land before (Galaxy Admin wont let me build it their because it will ‘use up to many primes’) But in the place I had acquired land, they decided not to let me build it their. If you have the land and space to have this ship built on your land, I will build it for you for free. If I don’t get anyone willing to donate land for this venture, in about 3-6 months I will be able to acquire a sim, and I will have the NOVA CLASS STAR SHIP and a REGULA STAR BASE built.

Note the Nova class will only need about 140-160m by 80-100m of space to fit.

I have not done to much in making more items per say. My most recent work is by adding detail in the work. I have inserted ambient and button activated sounds in order to add to the atmosphere of the ship.

Did you state previouslyhow many prims you had used? I must have missed it, I saw you estiment that need for 5,000 in the other forum, but I seem to be missing a mention of the amount of numerical prim usage here. Which is really what I need to know.

Hey, this really looks cool! :-) Hope you get land issues sorted out and all of us can soon have a look at it! :-)

How many primes I have actually used so far? Well, I have only really completed Deck1. For me to do the rest of the ship I need to be able to have it all laid out, so I can see the bigger picture of my work.

Deck 1 is about 500 primes (so far)
Engineering is 70 primes (so far) I plan to add some more detail to it, so it wont look so Spartan.

Well, thats alot less than I was suspecting. I can definately help you out with that. I don't have 5,000 prims free, yet, (I have a couple thousand free atm) but I'm working on it.

Well, the more primes that are available for it, the more detail I will be able to have in it.

Oh, there you are. ;-)

I've can spare something like 2,500 right now. Can you tell me what dimensions you need (60x20, 40x15, etc), my land is oddly shaped.

I had mentioned it on the fist post, but I will mention it again. It needs at space 160m by 80m to tightly fit (170 by 90 is preferred). It does not need to be an exact box to fit. Because of the shape of the ship the land does not have to be a perfect box to fit.

Here is an image to give you the ideas of the actual shape of the ship.

I guess, I missed that, or just forgot after all this time...

I'll check those dimensions, and let ya know.

This is cool.

Are you going to shoot any SL Trek episodes in it?
