Attack Pattern Gamma Fourby =overseer

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Scenes / Futuristic & Sci-Fi

Created as a request for

's Gamma Fleet Operations.

_{Note: I am aware the by design a Nebula class starship cannot separate it's saucer section at will like the Galaxy class does, only in case of emergency.

However, part of *Turbulence1973's request was that it can and I figured that might potentially be an option. Therefore, this Nebula class has a battle bridge and impulse engines on the stardrive section.

I'm generally not a huge fan of non-canon designs, but in this case it's within the realm of possibility and I guess it works.}

_{---
Background: Textured environment (starfield), nebula & asteroids. My work.

Meshes: Nebula class by Flat Eric (modified by me), Galaxy class battle bridge module by Prologic9 (modified by me), Danube class Runabouts by Thomas Slanitz & Peregrine Fighter by Lee Scheinbeim.

Composition: Scene and lighting setup in LW, final composition in PS, including some FX.

Critique by *saucer-level-0 Aug 9, 2012, 3:09:43 AM

excellent ideas played-out; and, executed very well.enormous impact, here! saucers are a very great favorite, always SELLS. blend is just-right; for my taste! scale of the object craft' good. backdrop is stunning indeed! it looks so 3D, incidentally: the scattering speckling of rocks/meteorites over the view, is a good-touch, giving real physikal depth to the work! technique is strong, and the colors understating which i like! a nice sense of movement, everywhere, excellent again.
does what is says on-side of-can!
well done overseer, a great success. 101%

hope to see a lot lot more .. a lot of publicity need for "this-one!"

This is probably the most ingenious work involving the Nebula class I've ever seen.

=overseer Apr 19, 2013 Digital Artist

Thank you very much.

This is Awesome!

I've thought of a unique idea, What about a Sovereign class undergoing a saucer separation? It's just a thought.

=overseer Apr 3, 2013 Digital Artist

Well, based on the availabe info and technical manuals, all Starfleet vessels have the ability to saucer sep during an emergency. Even the original Constitution class did; however, this is permanent. The saucer section is being severed by explosives in an emergency. The Galaxy class was different in that it could reattach.

So, in theory it could be done, but let's see. I try and stick to canon as much as I can (the above being an exception, due to request).

Thank you very much though!

~TwistyGuru Sep 7, 2012

Yes, it's non-canon; so what? It's not that implausible (experimental ship design, perhaps), and the work itself is gorgeous! So, this old Star Fleet Captain is all for it!

=overseer Sep 8, 2012 Digital Artist

Well, it's not a problem at all, I just like the 'canon Trek' and I think they did a good job. I have no issues with fan based storylines, except some take it a step too far. *Turbulence1973 is not one of those, which is why I don't mind doing artworks for him.

As long as it is within the possibilities of the establishes Trek timeline... I'm good.

And thank you very much!

~Goanimator Aug 9, 2012

This is awesome I never considered it could separate. I always thought the nebula class was more beautiful than the galaxy class and this just proves it.

=overseer Aug 9, 2012 Digital Artist

Thank you.

Well, it can't separate as such. The way the canon ability goes is that most starfleet ships if they're built with the 'saucer/engineering hull concept', they can jettison the engineering section in case of emergency. That's also the reson why most ships have the impulse engines fixed around the hull (think of the Enterprise/-A for example). The Nebula class is no different.

However, canon-wise the only ship classs that can do separation at will to date is the Galaxy class. In this case though, *Turbulence1973's storyline requires the at-will separation, so I threw something together to make it possible. I guess it's within Starfleet Engineering's prerogative to modify their existing ship classes if the need arises.
