Trekyards EP91 - USS Hammer (fan design)

Don Meiklejohn

USS Hammer. NCC 90467 designed by myself.

The idea of this ship ship started with the action of the nacelles rotating so to deploy the weapons arms as well as conceal the nacelles from any damage. The rest of the ship was built around it.
So for warp and general flight the nacelles are in the deployed position ( as seen here ). When under fire the nacelles rotate around a central pivot point and the warp plasma cannons are revealed.
The warp flow is redirected from the nacelles to power the cannons to produce a powerful blast.
She is loosely a combination of technological advances from USS Voyager and the USS Defiant and her size is slightly smaller than Voyager.
She has a slimline design with a detachable Bridge module.

Thanks

I think the nacelles roll all the way under exposing the weapon, I would like to see it rendered with them exposed

Looks like the entire wing pylons along with the nacelles can lift up similar to Voyager.

And in case you missed it, this ship seems to have both on the top as bottom side (front side) 4 torpedo launchers, not just 4 on the bottom side. So this may be a torpedo ship which could explain why there are so few phaser strips.

Looks like a narn cruiser from Babylon 5.

Why cant Star Trek have differnt type ships. This reminds me of an Andoran Design

[CLAIR.L]

this ship design feels like starfleet is starting to take inspiration from other races in the galaxy

[LordCakeskull]

In combat mode the nacelles swing down and under, keeping them close and protected. This also brings the plasma cannons up and out, to firing position.

The nacelle/cannon modules pivot at roughly their halfway point. Not at the inboard end.

When I saw the thumb nail the image screamed shuttle to me.
Well this is a better next gen Defiant than I had planned, I like the design and the attack wing mode. Federation's own Bird of Prey.
I too would love to see this thing fly and in action. USS HAMMER vs USS DEFIANT, Fight! 🙌

From certain angles I like it but hate it from other angles. Overall an interesting design

[terranempire]

Starfleet reverse engineered a jem'hadar attack ship,

[shawnbeckmann]

Fill in that Gaping hole in the front of the Ship and the Ship could carry Hundreds of Torpedoes more.

It looks like the T6 Pilot Ships Icarus, Ajax and Mercury from Star Trek Online

I love the fact that not all federation vessels have to have a saucer design. Love this ship !

[nigelbarthorpe]

How do I create amazing ships like this? What software do I need to download to allow me to create my own ships?

[EroomYrrah]

The weapons are fed by the warp flow from the nacelles to power the cannons. Good one.  Did you agree that the weapons fire comes from the red slits in the front.

[ironwolfF]

Phasers....? Pffft, we've got two big honking plasma cannons (and a bunch of torp launchers) to announce "WE'RE HERE!!!"

(Seriously though, IMO the phasers are there as lesser 'attention getters' ..."Power down bud or else!")

[arturoserna]

it looks like runabout and the attack fighter from Star Trek insurrection .

[ElizaWheeler]

The configurable nacelle deployment reminds me of the B'rell Bird of Prey

[danieljum]

So it can only be captained by Thor?Or by George Kirk?:)

[DeathBYDesign]

Where can I find this ship? Does anybody know where I can get some pics of this? I have pretty much every other ship out there but this and I want it.

I think this ship could be used in one of Sam's Fan-films! Maybe even in a Fan mini-series called Star Trek: Galaxies Beyond...? Just saying...
