Specs posted for the Coronados!

[Atrahasis]

You can go to the individual pages and use the specs for an authentic Coronado experience.

When I play the Feds campaign I use this ship for a long time, until I switch to the Enterprise class for sentimental reasons. Coronado rules in the early era though. How can you beat a heavy cruiser that is also a carrier?

Lovely! Thank you. I've heard people call this design daft etc before, but never understood it myself, seems a natural and reasonably logical way of getting a carrier out of a CA to me, and i got to admit im soft on this and the TMP Oriskany "refit" as well.

Very nice work ;D

Well, it is a bit "daft" in that the shape of the secondary hull is hard to mentally grasp even after seeing all three views of it in an orthographic drawing. One has to see it in 3d to really understand it.

Personally it'd make more sense if the hull curved the other way, as there isn't much room for the PTC's and the fuel tanks and fighter support, but maybe someday I can get someone to make one like that.

BTW, what do you think of giving the Late-Era Coro some WADE deflectors? That's the thing that's always bothered me the most: the lack of any deflector array (dish or otherwise.)

Hello all
Check out the Cartier Class the Coronado's Slightly larger Brother on the Yahoo Groups TreknoGraphx list. I gave the Coronado more secondary hull and added a deflector dish. ;D

Seems like a logical extension...Btw where's the Caracal you hinted at?

Hi Atra
I sent that file a second time to your Yahoo address and there was no bounce back.
Since Rogers Teamed up with Yahoo I've been having problems with mail going missing into the realm of cyberspace. I'm going to upload the file to the Treknographx list and you can get it from there. I didn't actually get blueprints but found scans of the ship in a Roleplaying group. ;D

As a fellow Canadian....curse Rogers cable!

I just reviewed the blueprints....what a fascinating ship. At only 197 meters, it's smaller than I originaly thought...I surmised over 200 meters. More fascinating is the tonnage at 170,000, which is only about 20,000 short of a Connie. It's also heavily gridded....while the gridding on the Connie was subtle, it is just blatant and heavy on the Caracal.
