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 love the fact that not all federation vessels have to have a saucer design. Love this ship !
the STO section 31 dreadnought looks a lot like this ship
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! 🙌
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.
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.
I think the nacelles roll all the way under exposing the weapon, I would like to see it rendered with them exposed
It's a fascinating design.
I like it. Throw it into the same box the Defiant lives in and it works. Maybe as an escort or a similar design function. I do agree with the missed phaser strip statement. One along each side would be a good addition to the design.
this ship design feels like starfleet is starting to take inspiration from other races in the galaxy
The configurable nacelle deployment reminds me of the B'rell Bird of Prey
Interesting looking ship! I think it does look Starfleet, but a radical idea.
I like the interior-facing windows: like the Defiant and the Sovereign (underneath in both cases). Not sure a Phaser array is needed there as there are arrays that can be seen and would have covering firing arcs and it would possibly impact the rooms those lights infer.
I love that underside view, that looks fantastic! Again with the Phasers? More arrays does not mean more Phaser power, it just means more hardpoints to draw line-of sight from.
I love the way the nacelles pivot round, that is cool and protects the nacelles in combat. Looking back at the dorsal render, there are escape pods either side of those 'doors' too.
I have always been of the opinion that phaser emitters in an array contribute energy to the discharge and pass it to their neighbor until the point of discharge. If I am correct, larger strips do in fact improve output.
I'd never considered that idea before and it has merit, but certainly, on the topside at least, the windows imply there are rooms there and all previous 'official' schematics sow the emitter arrays to have larger internal than external volume... the two would not be able to share the same space (though I'd be happy to exchange rooms for phasers).
Good point, these aren't just surface details. We must account for the 'roots' of the 'tree.'
Looks like a narn cruiser from Babylon 5.
Fill in that Gaping hole in the front of the Ship and the Ship could carry Hundreds of Torpedoes more.
I agree they should have filled the space in front . I also think admiral clockings has a nice ring to it .
Why cant Star Trek have differnt type ships. This reminds me of an Andoran Design
I like this design
Cool ship. It should be for sale in STO
Looks the Defiant's big brother.
I like the design a lot. I agree the hole is a bit weird but from a visual aspect it doesn’t look bad at all so even if it’s simply to make the ship look different/more aggressive it doesn’t bother me just from a visual aspect.
Practical wise I think it would make sense that it’s a docking birth for a additional auxiliary craft but they should have something that fills it in too.
Overall though I really like this ship
From certain angles I like it but hate it from other angles. Overall an interesting design
Yes develop it more it looks like I can travel in pairs, like two ships in one. A real tactical combat unit
There is always a tension with Starfleet vessels as to whether it serves a military role or acts primarily in a exploratory capacity.
the USS Haammer lookslike Bottle opener with opening in front other wise it cool ship.
that bottle-opener hole reminds me of the Malaurian starship from ENT "Civilization"
Nice video. Not a big fan of the hole, but overall a cool design. Certainly better than anything I came up with.
Awesome concept, I agree that a little more refinement needs to be done. Not a fan of the vacant space un ship primary hulls like the Vengence, but great work overall!
It looks like the T6 Pilot Ships Icarus, Ajax and Mercury from Star Trek Online
+Skyla Jade Forster (Sky) I really love the colors on the first model though
Pilot ship. That is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it.
I give props to the designer, good job. however the design leaves a tactical disadvantage . I'm not talking about phaser strips. by occluding the plasma emitters and by using power for warp drive it eliminates the possibility of fireing the plasma emitters during warp flight. BTW fireing phasers at warp is possible if the velocity is matched, like in voyager vs equinox.
Cool ship.
Indeed.
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!")
Maybe the hole in the main hull is a weight saving option to reduce the amount of force you need to move the ship.
How do I create amazing ships like this? What software do I need to download to allow me to create my own ships?
Have you ever found out what software to use?
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.
The space at the front near the forward phaser array is actually a giant bottle opener
Nucleo electric reactor.
Atomic chatter motor.
Artifical gravity.
And and Mars,Saturn,Pluton and Stars.
I love this ship! I would also love to see it fleshed out with a full Liitho. (top side front and bottom aspects/ schematics. Where is the weapons arm stored when not deployed?
USS Defiant being on one end of the spectrum which officially is classified as an 'escort vessel' and the Oberth class which is a 'Scout /science' vessel. To quote Captain Spock in 'The undiscovered country' "Starfleet's mission has always been one of peace". But in this fictional universe that's not always been the case. Although Starfleet can be seen as a Humanitarian armada it has a military role as the primary agency that defends the Federation.
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.
this feels a lot more like the pilot escorts from STO
it looks like to me could be a heavy fighter because where the bridge is looks like a cockpit
I'd like to see the Gryphon Class Runabout reviewed.
😎😎😎😎😎
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...
Can't touch this ship!
Warp nacelles go down to deflector and inside part that is hidden comes out...
I've seen this ship before and always assumed it was a single person craft.
Starfleet reverse engineered a jem'hadar attack ship,
it looks like runabout and the attack fighter from Star Trek insurrection .
In really looking at it, it reminds me of a Jem'Hedar attack vessel but flipped. Great design though. However, the ship doesnt look like it can defend itself well if it was attacked directly from port or starboard, other than the fact that it maybe highly maneuverable and can bank on a dime.
It took most of the video until I realized that the weapon and nacelle assembly is a single piece that rotates, not two independent "levers".
I like this ship, but to me, it looks like the center of a Multi-vector assault mode ship. Both the bow and stern look like they have docking grips to make a much larger ship. Just my take on it. :)
So why does it have a big hole in the middle of the hull in the front? Seems like that'd be all useful space for quarters, storage, weapons, whatever.
I think that this ship should be classified as Intel Scout. Why? Angular shape of hull should in theory be invisible to scanners.
So it can only be captained by Thor?Or by George Kirk?:)
Kinda fits with sto pilot escorts
You know it looks like it could be used for a saucer pick up when the drive section separates and is destroyed
Cool ship. Dont like the big gap in the front. Same thing about the Vengeance in jj verse that bothered me.
What are the specs? Ship dimensions & crew compliments?
I'm not sure if this has been answered, and I apologize if it has.... but what is the reasoning behind the front feature of the ship? It looks like an awesome ship and very sharp. Also, is the front section accessible from the main body of the ship?
Looks as though its pulls away from the warp engines
If it is dominion inspired perhaps it uses polaron emitters instead of phaser strips.
if this after DS 9... the could be incorporation Jem'Hadar designs. Belly view is great and there are the windows
I think the design needs some tweaking, but overall, i very much like it.
What ever happened to this design? I like it.
it looks like a Jemima Hadar heavy cruiser
Interersting.
Looks like a jem hadar ship
I don't think it looks that Federation. Maybe rounding the main hull more. It does have a Dominion look from some angles. I would said trek but not Fed.
What's with the big hole in the front to me it's not a practical design feature why not use that space
it kinda looks like the nihydron destroyer from the year of hell (voyager)
it a corvette class use navy ships as scale as referance
uh oh, uh, uh uh oh
Here's comes the hammer
This ship is beautiful, and I wish I had half the talent of these ship designers. But if I had to critique anything, it would be the 'tac mode' vs 'cruise mode' thing that happens with the nacelles. I understand moving the nacelles to optimize warp travel, but I would not want there to be any mode where weapons are obscured. God forbid something damaged the articulation system, the main weapons of the vessel would be taken out of action.
+CubanWriter agree, I see the Equniox and Defiant more practical than voyager. I know Starfleet has good maintenance but eventually all articulation systems will fail or improperly operate at some time.
@CubanWriter
I know, I too wish had their talent. To build, draw, design ships in 3-D, in high school all my extracurricular class were Art classes to help me learn to draw 3 dimensional objects, but...NOOOOOOPE! My art teacher only taught, wanted to reach was *in feminine voice* "I'm teaching you abstract and blah blah blah blah art, not to teach you to draw in Anime, or in 3-D art." she claimed to have gone through college or some cheap tech school to teach and learn art, I said BS to her because she didn't teach me anything that was the description of those "Art" classes.
I'm trying to teach myself but nothing is helping to better myself, I'm like Data unable to grasp the concept, understanding of emotions...😖😭😭😭
most Art students who smoked weed became "teachers".
I guess she did because she always talked about her boyfriend being in prison
can anyone out there know what manner of ship class this is?
+Brian Lindee its the tough little ship class
Little?!
Well not little if Worf is the commander.
Looks like an A-wing
This design makes more sence than the normal ,silly, original Enterprise design. that design, beit cool and so different than all the rest, makes no logial sense at all really. just my opinion.
TrekspandedVerse.
(1) I have noticed that you keep calling Starfleet all non-military. In fact, Starfleet IS a military - no matter what the spin doctors call it! (2)my friend like the look of the ship and if starfleet doesn't want it, he'll take it sight unseen.
+James Hook I agree that calling Starfleet non-military is mostly Federation propaganda. In fact, it seems to me that the Federation exists under a mostly benign police state, where Starfleet is an everpresent peacekeeping force that provides multiple state-sponsored services (including territorial expansion via colonization.)
thanks for the support. I would say the Federation is a malignant (like a cancer) rather than benign.
Hmm. I don't know. The Feds can be insidious at times. Their behavior with the Maquis was abominable, for instance. In the context of surrounding regimes, I think it qualifies as comparatively benign. Though of course the 'extreme example' governments of Trek make it easy for the Feds to look good in comparison.
+James Hook I dunno, we don't see them saluting, or or shouting "SIR, YES SIR!!!!" (thank goodness), and so on.
Sometimes, when I re-watch the pilot episode of TNG, I am amused to see Riker dressing down Geordi for not delivering his report at attention.
Looks like Star Fleet copied the jem'hadar look.
looks like Battlestar Galactica converted into the Star Trek Universe.
It actually does.
I gotta say I'm not a big fan of the rotation, it seems like a Star Wars gimmick. There are too many Star Wars ships that have wings and other parts of the ship move for no other reason than "it looks cool". I'm fine with ships like the x wing or the b wing, those gimmicks make some sense. But the one recent ship(the name escapes me at the moment) that has a huge wing that rotates from the top of the ship for landing to the bottom for flight just never made any sense to me. Just why bother designing something so intricate when something simpler will do. I like the overall design though, if the saucer section took some shapes of the intrepid and Prometheus class ships it would look more federation to me.
stop saying little ship !!!
looks bad...strange design choices...doesnt make any sense from a star trek point of view. ugly.
