I need to watch Star Trek to get what you are saying. *Turns on TV Land*

The movies would be what yer after...

what is we were invaded by giant banana aliens that turned us into oranges. the we looked like footpaws and smelled like apples?

I think you've been watching too many sci-fi and cooking shows at the same time.. O.o

Or I have been off my meds to long and eaten too much sugar. Which is just as bad.

Very nice picture by the way.

Thanks! ^^

I think Kirk would've crapped on his pants! Especially Scotty! This should've been in the no-win scenario tests they keep at the academy. ^.-

Time for a miracle! :)

Nope! Call on Capt. Kirk to cheat! XD

Hehe, no idea what Starship this is (Has only watched Startrek:Enterprise) ^^'

But cool pic! <3

You should check out the first 6 movies, they're on average really good (the even number films being generally considered the best)

I like this more than furry sex.


Yes I do.

Rofl!! Starships get me haaaawt. ;)

Also great work on detailing and composition despite of it being so sketchy. <3 Luff the warp nacelle leaking and the glow on the excelsior. You even did the blueish aura of the sensor dish :3

^^ Gotta have the glow of the deflector dish. :3

Great pic! I don't think they would have actually fired on the Enterprise, but it would be a sad scenerio either way.
Good thing Scotty knew what he was doing.

Miranda Class is actually my favorite class of starship - but the Contitution Class refit is nice too.

I actually have both the Enterprise Refit (the 'Big E' ) and an Excelsior Class starship as models that I'm in the process of painting.

The Refit I'm actually thinking of rigging up and lighting.

D.O.P.R

You'll HAVE to post pictures. :3 I used to have a rather large Excelsior model, but I never finished it for some reason. :(

For me, man, it's a tough choice between the Ambassador class, the Excelsior class, and the Miranda class (watching the last few DS9 episodes is like porn to me ;))

Ambassador class is another of my favorites!

Miranda class sits comfortably out front, but second place is a close one.
Ambassador class, Nebula class, and the Constitution class Refit are all vying for 2nd.

And I know what you mean about the last few DS9 episodes being like porn.
Amost the whole Dominion War plot-line was riddled with lovely starship action.

D.O.P.R

Not sure if a warp cell has been destroyed, but it is however venting drive plasma, which is also just as bad.

Scene actually happens in the PS2 game, StarTrek-Shattered Universe. Sulu and Co on the Enterprise go through a thing and end up in evil universe, where they fight Checkov in an Ecelisor class...or something along those lines.

I never played Shattered Universe, the idea of piloting a fighter was interesting, but I wanted to command a starship. :)

Also, badass icon. :D

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/sapphire/ is doing icons, but the offer ends tonight. Eh Shattered Universe just wasn't that great.

if you want to fly a starship then try star trek: Encounters. you can fly the nx-class, the constitution-class, the defiant-class, the galaxy-class, the intrepid-class, the nebula-class, and the sovereign-class starfleet ships. plus several different xindi, klingon, romulan, cardassian, jem'hadar, and borg ships, and the level of detail on each ship is incredible.

For starship command star trek: encounters would probably be your best choice.

I like the Defiant class, thing is a hot rod.

True! :3

It either be that or the transwarp made them so fast they'd shoot ahead as in spaceballs :D

Lovely Picture you came up with

Sir! We've gone to PLAID!

This makes my inner nerd hawt. And the Excelsior class has grown on me with time too.

*chuckles* Let your inner nerd out! :D

This is a different kind of pr0n for me, but I love it just as much! Squee!

<loves the Excelsior too>

XD Rock on! *high-fives*

woot, awesome pic. Guess I was too young to let those became my favs, intrepids and sovereigns became mine D:

*chuckles* Sovereign is definately a good looking class, I'm just a softie for the classics I guess. :)

Holy crap. That looks awesome man.

Thankies! ^^

This makes me miss Starfleet Academy, and wish I could play Bride Commander or something on my comp.

Aww... your comp can't handle Bridge Commander?

Nope, no Direct3D acceleration

*glomps the spaceships*

YAY STAR TREK!!!

*growls at anyone trying to take them away from her*

*laughs and keeps his distance* :3

*huggles the ships and offers him a cookie for being good and keeping away*

Hem i have seen most in fact all of the star trek films but i cant remember which scenario this was from...I FAIL!!! *whimper*

It's okay, it's from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

^^

Aahh i see...hrm i'll have to rewatch all of them :P i should KNOW these tings, hell i was RAISED on star trek!!

I'm a fan of the Bird Of Prey ^^

Those too... or the K'Tinga. :3

Heh, according to the lore of Star Trek the transwarp drive on the Excelsior was actually a design flaw so she'd have had the exact same top speed as the Enterprise herself.

According to what lore one can find around the 'net apparently the Federation has the theoretical science behind a transwarp drive, but the scientists haven't been able to actually make a working unit.

Now that said...oh the Excelsior would have totally kicked the Enterprise's arse. She's a Battlecruiser and hence has bigger guns and thicker armor/shields than the Enterprise.

*nods* As the last scene of Star Trek VI shows so clearly, it's a big ship. :3

Heh, you have to be a big ship to qualify as a battlecruiser. Traditionally a battlecruiser is a ship that's designed to carry a battleship's guns at cruiser speeds.

So if she had been able to run down the Enterprise she should have had the firepower to punch a hole in her shields/armor with a single salvo.

I love the Excelsior. My friends think Im crazy for doing so.

Crazy? For loving the Excelsior?! Bah... nonsense. :3

Very nice. I ama fan of the Excelsior as well

:D

Go go NX-2000!
(omg Transwarp)

Well the movie would have a ... well a joke less and a weird end. *G* Or they would have to break free and capture the excelsior...... and blow that bird of prey out of space with a full crew........

i lie the Miranda class most.... (Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan vessel......) and the Nebula class ^.^.

I'm not sure that the Transwarp drive would've worked anyways had Scotty not taken the parts out. Heh, even in the 24th century, Starfleet ships never used transwarp cause they could never get it to work or something of that sort.

Nice! This is the first Star Trek related pic I've seen on FA. It's good to know there are fellow trekkies among the fandom!

Have you seen much Voyager? Specifically the episode "Threshold" about breaking the Warp 10 barrier? That was awesome!

Was watching Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, and Star Trek III: Search for Spock the other night on my Toshiba rear screen projection HDTV. I remember going to the theatre to see them on opening day. Then I was reading the copyright years... and I felt really old! Especially now seeing William Shatner on Boston Legal... He's almost as big as the Excelsior!~ (just kidding)

Can't wait to see the new movie coming out next year!

Live long... and prosper!~


ToRo

Yeah, I'm very interested to see how they do the new movie. :)

That's my favourite star ship the USS Excelsior NCC-2000.

A brilliant work of startrek!

Starfleet would never damage their own vessel only to tracor beam them back to space dock. And how do you know that the Excelsior has those kind of phasers?

Soverign Class for the win

neato had always wondered about this what if scenario.

Goes full nerd mode now, 1 transwarp was a failed project, so the "new experiment" would likely not have needed Scotty's help. If it wasn't a failed project Transwarp would be in TNG. With this being said The Excelsior was likely not even capable of warp speed with the Transwarp core installed. 2 This variant of the Excelsior at sub light speeds wasn't very nimble giving the Enterprise a slight advantage in maneuverability. That problem was later solved by the addition of two more impulse engines on the port and starboard sides of the saucer section much like the Galaxy class. 3. With a failed transwarp engine, means no phasers seeing phaser power was routed through the warp engines for increased out put..


Now for the other side The Enterprise would be hampered by its automation center, that couldn't even manage to raise the shields without freezing up (If the Enterprise had a full crew that would be no problem, but in Star Trek III she didn't).

So given the situations presented in the movie, it would likely be a rather boring battle.

Now put both ships into the perfect scenario could prove interesting the bigger more powerful Excelsior vs the Smaller more nimble Enterprise with Kirk in command.

I felt the same about the Excelsior, hated in the movies liked it in TNG and DS9, The Lakota would be an exlcesior class I'd like to see in action, nearly destroyed the Defiant. But I think it boiled down to how it was portrayed, in the TOS movies ithe Exlcesior was portrayed in sorta a bad light or more so the end of an era. Where in TNG and DS( you were left feeling for it like we did for the Constitution class, out gunned and out dated to its newer counterparts, left feeling bad for it in a way, and it was a reminder of the old Star Trek a lot grew up on.

McCoy would've been driven insane, Kirk and the crew court martialed, and Spock's Body along with everyone else on Genesis would've died when the planet destroyed itself.
