From 2009, an UESPA era station. (unfinished)

This month the Merian class will be 15 years old. I'm very confused as I started on it in 2009, but I assume that I then gave priority to Vesta and XCV, to finish the Merian in January 2011. Also one of the latest renders of it, (Strickland variant) from 2024.

Some concept art from Picard (not by me) showing a Vesta class starship on an MSD. I personally would have picked a very different bridge layout, but within the show this would have been a "quick" set redress. That Vesta, (USS Hikaru Sulu) + Captain Harry Kim part was dropped from the story.

Every time my follower count reaches a milestone, some Ferengi trader sends me the same amount of Self-Sealing Stem Bolts, I assume as a cruel joke, just for the shipping fee. (Who else would use 2 containers...)

2131 SSSB's... 🙂 A workbee uses 6. (Six!)
Either way, thank you for the follow! :)

*I'm still here but super busy with anything but Science Fiction... argh! :)

For 2026 getting structure and improving work/hobby/life balance is going to be the main goal.

Meanwhile, here is a slightly barebone image of the USS Carver.

IXL Galileo, landed on a pole of KOI-4902.01.

Tiny departure schedule for the dock.
(Basically the daily commuting runabout (Pleiades) and some weekly supply/cargo/material shipments by Starfleet.)
Still all work in progress but slowly creeping towards a completed dock.

Inspection of Venetia Starlight.
(Modeled in 2008 but recent renders.)
A star yacht with forward nacelles. Some ships in this class are outfitted with roll out solar sails for a calm (but slow) journey.

A still from "765874 - Memory Wall" by the Roddenberry Archive. (I only delivered the ringship model, they do this magic!) 🙂 youtu.be/fzeznWVQu5o

My design for an RC Crawler back in 2009 vs a DARPA concept vehicle in 2022. :) Convergent evolution. (Or so I hope. :D)

I keep chipping away at a new (friendlier and smaller) habitat for the shipyard. Made some new doors today.
