Mako Class Battleship
Fri Jul 26, 2013 12:26 pm
~ Entry Start ~
The LSS Mako, first ship of the line of the Mako class battleships. The Make class originated in AD 2489 and has remained in service (after several upgrades to her major systems) ever since.
The Mako class, despite their size compared to the larger vessels of Star Fleet, is very powerful. Initially it was powered by a slower than light drive, but after the success of the Light Warp Drive initially tested on the prototype battleship Excalibur it was given the Light Warp Drive system created for starships with no warp nacelles.
The Mako is also a very maneuverable ship despite it's appearance. It has four primary maneuvering thrusters in the rear of the ship along with smaller one located along the sides.
The Mako was equipped with five Heavy Turbolasers but since then, the turbolasers have been replaced by Mega Shock Cannons. It is also equipped with to Heavy Shock Cannons on the starboard and port sides of the ship.

This is a cool ship. I particularly like the whole shark theme you've got going on there; it really looks (and sounds) fierce.

@ Dino - Thanks! Glad you like it!
@ AA - Good or bad? I actually made this long before I even attempted to make any Star Trek MOCs. I made it back in '08 if I remember right, but I just now transitioned it to LDD. I've got more old models like this coming within the next day or two, plus I'll be making some new ones along this style.
@ RMM - Thanks! I hope you'll like the coming SDF ships that I have coming!

Good. It's more HALO like, and less ST like. I prefer HALO ships.

Yes, I did have a little Halo inspiration in there. Most Space Agency ships are typically patterned after Halo or Space Battleship Yamato styled ships.

LOVE IT. This thing reminds me so much of a Kol Battleship from SoaSE, but it's still distinctive and something cool in its own right.

I LOVE this ship! It's reminiscent of Halo, as you said, but it's still unique and amazing. Good job!

Awesome! I love the color scheme and the detail/greebling you added without overgreebling. It reminds me of the Spirit of Fire and a Malevolence all in one. (which is good )

@ Dino and Mighty - I wasn't necessarily going for a Halo style, but I can see where you're coming from. It does bear resemblence to the Spirit of Fire.

But at the same time it's not Halo. It has a bit of that mixed in, but it's clearly its own ship too. I really like this little tank of a ship.
