Looks great, and I can see the Excelsior-class influence, but if you don't mind my asking, why is this thread named "I have imploded!"?

Nice looking stuff, AT. And Strategia, an archaic meaning for the term 'implode' is 'to motivate into action' ergo AT saying "I have imploded!" could be read as "I have been motivated into action!"
Just saying is all...

Re: I have imploded!
Awsome! Now if someone would do a Dahak/5th Imperium shipset I would love them  as a matter of fact don't I'm off to do that right now!
BTW the proper "Inspiration" for those ships is the Excelsior block B construct (Also known as the Enterprise B class) because the extended "cobra head shape" on the main hull was brought about with the ENT B and introduced in "newer" Excelsior type starships.
Funny though the good ol' E's aren't built anymore  and according to one ST book I read the last one rolled off the line 20 years before Next Gen
Anyway I'm off to go make the 5thI a reality

Re: I have imploded!
When I first saw the ship in Star Trek III I thought it was ugly. Then when I saw it in VI I fell in love with it. Originally it was called the Ingram Class (Prototype).
When I got a model of the ship as a gift and assembled it, that was when I knew I had truly fallen in love.

Make that a third  .
Problem with making a 5th Imperium/Dahak shipset is that...well aren't the ships all just planetoids? Freakin' massive ships but mostly circular, no?

Re: I have imploded!
Yeah that is one problem.....Fighters could easily be covered as their "Parasites" however with the larger fighters being sublight battleships and destroyers and cruisers.
Their planetoids are all well just that Sphereical Brass-Gold Planetoids with the main differences being purpose and size.
There are also a rather limited amount of Planetoid classes I know of:
Utu
Asgerd
Trosan
Vespa
Imperial Terra
I know there are at least two others but I can't remember their names at the moment.
I also think out of the above listed it the Asgerd and Imperial Terras are THE most powerful warships which would make them the Dreadnoughts/Baseships.

Re: I have imploded!
People really seem to be turning away from accepting new star trek sets. I said a long time ago that I was done making them and well I have held true to that statement.
I have update many of the sets, but I have not made a new set, aside from the Terran Empire, in over two years. (STM Federation sets don't count as they were on the books since 2002.)
This latest set has been half finished since last year and I just want to get rid of it. I started it back in 2002 and have done nothing with it since.
Once its done, I am done. I will update sets as needed, work on the sets that I have in queue now, and work on special projects for people but otherwise I plan not to make any more ship sets for SEIV. There really isn't a need now that SEV is coming out.

Re: I have imploded!
Nah AT we like those ships I was just struck by inspiration for the 5thI ships as they could totally OWN just about every other sci-fiverse except Culture (So I hear I don't actually know Culture capabilities).
I just started reading the book and it's a Feddie wet dream lol I mean if star fleet had just ONE ship with the abilities of an Asgerd or Imperial Terra they could conquer the entire Alpha quad, then the Delta and kick the crap out of the borg

Re: I have imploded!
Quoted" There really isn't a need now that SEV is coming out."
Not sure I agree with you there. I think SEIV will be around for a very long time. I don't think I will have the money to go out and buy SEV anytime soon. Plus, I still really enjoy SEIV. SEV sounds wonderful, but it also sounds different enough from SEIV to allow both games to co exsist. I could be wrong about this since I have not played SEV yet.
(OT Will making MODs and shipsets be harder for SEV or just different? This may also determine how long SEIV remains a major player in gamedom.)

Re: I have imploded!
Mods will probably be easier; the game will use formulas.
