Yeah, to be honest, I didn't put much attention into the ramscoops and warp
emmiters in my latest ship. I payed mor attention to the look and
functionality than the fine details. I did make a very good star trek style
ship about 4 years ago, but I broke down and tore it apart for other
projects before I had the intelligence to PHOTOGRAPH the silly thing. GAD! >:(
(stupid stupid stupid...)
Ah well, you live and learn. It really was good - beuatiful colors, and
sort of Voyager-ish. The ship was sized to match my warp nacelles ( about 4
studs x 16 studs x 2 bricks high) and the ram scoops were the traditional
ruby red Bussard collectors from Star Trek fame. The warp core was placed
on it's side (my ship was 1.5 levels high -long and sleek), with the
placement as follows in engineeirng:
main controls, dylithium chamber, warp core, plasma conduits and converters,
shielding and bulkhead, fusion reactor, slush tank (top) with main impulse
drive (below). The ship was 1 yard long and solid like a rock. In front
of the engineering section was a large living quarters with a lavitory, and
then the main bridge at the very front. Very utilitarian.
My next attempt at a capitol ship is squeduled to begin next month over the
holidays (when I have time). The funny thing is that I typically only take
3 days to build one. Let's see what we can whip up then.
