No offence to anyone here, but I've been looking for a good Delta Flyer (like from Star Trek Voyager) for a while and have found the very few models available to be ... lacking. One seen in this thread, for instance. Looks pretty good, but at that size it is not able to hold what it needs to be able to do what it needs to do to *be* the DF. Then I looked around and found that the main problem is the blocky nature of the game. At the right scale, it would have a little more room, but still would be really slow and under powered as far as weapons go. The DF was built to be a hot rod.
So I started a project. Designing and building the Delta Flyer III (in the show there was a second one made after the first one was destroyed). It's going to be the same shape as the regular one, but it'll be a lot bigger. I was originally going to just have it be double sized, but due to forgetting to think in multiple dimensions, I doubled the length. Which multiplies the total area by 8, not 2. But this ship will look like the previous DFs but have far more speed and capability.
I've started blocking it off with landscape materials to get a sense of scale going and it's already got plenty of room for a good amount of weapons, two jump drives, and enough power to not go down when simultaneously speeding through a sector and charging the jump drives. If anyone else wants to see it, I'll be putting it up for download once I'm done with the empty hull, and then a few times after that as I fill it in until I'm done.
