Description
I keep going back to this image by Drell-7: [link] Not sure why it sticks with me, but I just find it a beautiful presentation - so much I decided to craft a TNG-era homage
I should point out one flaw in Drell's initial offering, though: the title. To the best of my recollection TOS never used the term "shuttle", but "shuttlecraft". I think we all just got used to saying "Shuttle" after the STS vehicle got a'flyin'.================
Miranda 2 Mesh by Wil Jaspers, Chaffee shuttlecraft mesh is originaly by Neco Weigland, Poser conversions by Mattymanx. Background by Frostbo. DAZ Studio render.

I've come up with a design for a ship like that; I've named mine the USS Plano. She's named after a city in Texas.

Is that the same town that makes the tackle boxes?

Plano is where Dr. Pepper/7-Up is based.

Well... I'm just the "render guy". But I agree - the modeler did a nice job designing that updated Reliant.

Awesome design. My QUantum class [link] was homage to the Miranda TNG era

are there any penalties in case I'm calling a "shuttlecraft" just "shuttle" due to my lingual laziness?
I mean, I just wanted to know, just in case
Though however one have to call it (I had no idea there were a Terms of Service for starship naming! wow!

The best render of that incarnation of USS Miranda I have ever come across. The subdued hull plating really highlights the details. Well done my friend on another masterpiece.

Hey, THANKS! I don't see many folks using this model. Not sure if it's a product of the original model or the conversion, but it renders like a real pig. I think it's something in the nacelles. This should have been about a fine-minute render, but I ended up having to let it go overnight. It's too bad as it makes me uninclined to work with this model much more.

Theres a couple of rats nests in the obj export from max that causes all sorts of issues but as the subassemblies aren't labelled in any logical system its proving a complete bitch to track the offending structures down. I think the conversion artist chose to ignore these flaws before doing the daz studio and poser imports. Doing my own conversion (to lightwave) I get the chance to fix these. Rats nests can cause the final renderer to crash as it tries to render many polys with the same spatial coordinates and normal facing.

Well if you get a usable OBJ fix, LMK!

They shouldn't be picking up hitchhikers. Especially not in space.
