STVGP Update

[@stellarproductions8888]

You have no idea how long I have waited, for a truly realistic, re-creation of the Intrepid class vessel, from Star Trek Voyager. CBS has 0-interest in doing it themselves, and they have even gone so far as, to put the cobosh on a team, that were working on it previously. I assumed that the project was permanently dead. I am happy that someone has taken up the torch, because I really need this game like yesterday lol. You are doing an amazing job, I am loving every minute of it, and I can't wait to see more!

[@szebike]

Perfect, thank you for doing this. The Voyager always has a special place in my heart and is IMO the peak of Star Trek.

[@DanielBrainbox]

Thank you :) the Voyager has also a special place in my heart too.

[@Taz.B]

The Intrepid class has always been my fav canon starship. The details and size was perfect. What you're doing is a testament to that. I can not wait till its completed!

[@evenfunnierguy]

The detail level on this is absolutely mind-blowing. Everything is spot on, it feels so much more real than even the film sets from the series. You could produce AAA movie content with this.

You've put so much work into it and it shows., By the way: Me and a friend of mine where always thinking where the toilets where in star trek ships. And you have put them in! Great! I really loved voyager as a show. Mostly because of the ship and its design. It somehow feels comfy. And you just made the ship real!

[@lykan2]

Voyager is definitely my favourite Ship, like you said it feels "comfy" and not to big, not to small, just right.

[@DanielBrainbox]

Thank you :)

[@lykan2]

I absolutely love the lounge there at the Aero-Shuttle.

[@d.b.4671]

It certainly looks good; but I wonder if it might make more sense as a launch/docking control room. Having direct observation of both the bay interior and the space outside would be a useful feature for that particular function of the ship.

[@larnregis]

@@d.b.4671 agreed. It could also include weather monitoring stations, tectonic activity screens, etc. Everything the shuttle needs to safely reach the surface. Though it would be also waste to just remove that wonderful lounge. Maybe put the lounge behind one of the big windows on the side of the ship.

[@DanielBrainbox]

Thank you :)

[@kevinfranks3169]

Absolutely beautiful! Great work, and I have to say I especially love the effort and design put into the areas of the ship we never saw, as well as the effort put into tiny details, like the photo on Janeway's desk in her quarters!

Thank you :) there will be no release until its done.

[@irritablerodent]

As a show, Voyager was a wasteland of missed opportunities. But the production design, especially the actual Voyager ship sets, was fantastic. I always liked how it maintained continuity with TNGs design language but also felt like an in-universe development of it.

[@purefoldnz3070]

I've just been rewatching Voyager and have been very impressed at the quality of stories and writing, something from 30 years ago blows away modern Trek.

[@Lilmiket1000]

@@purefoldnz3070 Me too. I love it!

[@Zeithri]

@@purefoldnz3070 FPFT.... You're impressed.... by the reset of the week, poor decisions, idiotic plots? ... I'll be insulting here but that's just the dumbest take I've read today. Voyager, was flawed like hell and it always played it safe rather than take chances. Voyager is a good show to put on, and just turn your brain off. Background noise it excels as. It's wonderfully pleasant like that. And yes, it is a good watch too most of the time. But once you start to seriously look at it... It's painfully obvious how flawed it is. If you got a problem with modern Trek: STOP WATCHING DISCOVERY AND PICARD BECAUSE THEY ARE SHIIIT. Watch Prodigy because it's excellent and watch Lower Decks because it's fantastic. Then watch Kelvin Timeline movies and realize they're actually good, Enterprise because S3 and S4 is phenomenal. Rewatch TOS. But don't sit here, and proclaim Voyager to be a paragon of stories and writing because then I'll come by and say: THAT'S STUPID. Then make sure you watch Legacy of Kain because that's also phenomenal. I'm sorry if I come across aggressive, I don't mean to. It's just that shitting on modern Trek and praising Voyager is like slapping the horses ass while kissing the bull's. It's not as much of an improvement as you think.

[@Zeithri]

This blows my mind. I love it when people create stuff like this ❤ Just breathtakingly perfect.

[@DanielBrainbox]

[@ReaverLordTonus]

I don't know why, but I always thought the mess hall and the captain's quarters were in opposite locations. It would have made more sense that the captain was closer to the bridge, and the larger space toward the middle of the ship would be more suitable for a common area. Also, I recall Cargo Bay 2 had an access hatch to space and would be closer to the edge of the hull. It was decompressed twice in the series. First was in 'Scorpion' and the other in 'The Omega Directive'. The former showed the hatch along the edge of the saucer on the port side, I think.

[@ShadowwingMD]

Cargo Bay 2 also felt a lot bigger in scorpion. But this is still awsome work here!

[@d.b.4671]

Good point about Cargo Bay 2; a "bay", by definition, is a ship compartment with direct access to the exterior of the ship (see also Shuttlebay). What's depicted here seems to be a cargo hold, which doesn't have exterior access. (And in case anyone asks, sickbay is an exception to the rule; it used to be a bay compartment on naval ships, but it generally isn't anymore.)

[@MozTS]

The mess hall was actually the senior officer’s lounge that neelix repurposed in the first season.

[@moow950]

Wow, imagine if you can use VR with this and acutally walk through the corridors of Voyager. Only the crew now must be recreated. Maybe by using AI to train them with the personalities as shown in the TV series? It would be fun to have a conversation with an AI recreation of Captain Janeway in her quarters talking about the meaning of life ;-)

[@sesesesesesesesesesese]

The more I watch this, the more I lose hope that it would ever be able to run on my Steamdeck haha Also, I wonder why they designed the steps in the transporter rooms to break your ankles lol I feel sorry for the aliens who spend their first seconds in a human-designed environment and get their feet lodged in those gaps. I had a random idea. I’m sure it would be difficult for 1 person to think of how to personalise all the quarters of the unknown crewmembers. So maybe it could be delegated to the community somehow. There could be a tier who get to suggest a few items to go in one of the crew quarters, maybe even providing their own 3d models. That way, the people who are really passionate about this could leave their personal touch on the project in a small way.

21:00 I wonder if this is how Q sees and traverses the universe.

[@sesesesesesesesesesese]

Interesting that you decided to put a second shuttlebay with Neelix’s ship underneath. In the show, we see the warp core being ejected from the ventral hatch that’s closest to the aft of the ship. Surely that causes a conflict where that shuttlebay and main engineering would intersect.

[@DanielBrainbox]

Well, yes, that's true-I had to reconfigure Voyager's space to make everything fit. As you can see, the Delta Flyer takes up a lot of space, as do the other shuttles. There simply isn’t enough room for the Baxial (Neelix's shuttle). The show often used tricks, like shrinking the Delta Flyer to the size of a Type-9 shuttle just to make it fit through the main gate. My goal is to stay as close to the show as possible, but there's no perfect way to resolve all the inconsistencies.

[@sesesesesesesesesesese]

@@DanielBrainbox Ah, that’s understandable. I can see that there would be many things that conflict. Another thing that comes to mind is the section of corridor in the show near Janeway’s quarters that appears to have an extremely high ceiling that would not fit within the hull. It’s the part where the wall has vertical slats instead of the usual horizontal slats (I don’t know if you’ll even decide to include that corridor wall design, since it doesn’t appear anywhere else on the ship lol). Also, on deck 1, I noticed that you had to awkwardly squeeze an unusually narrow corridor between the escape pods and the edge of the hull because there are windows there on the exterior. In these dilemmas, whatever you decide, people are probably going to argue either way. I guess we have to accept the fact that the way some things appear in the show is simply impossible. Anyway, by the looks of it, we can trust your judgement to figure out the right compromises!

[@sesesesesesesesesesese]

​@@DanielBrainbox In season 6, episode 8 (One Small Step), they apparently say they launched the Delta Flyer from “shuttlebay 2”. So that seems to confirm your layout at least slightly. A second shuttlebay exists. I’m also reminded of the Voyager 2 in Prodigy, which had 2 (publicly known) shuttlebays. But, that’s basically a completely different ship, so I guess that doesn‘t confirm anything.

[@DanielBrainbox]

@@sesesesesesesesesesese Ten years ago, when I started my Voyager project, I really delved deep into research and tried to make it work despite all the issues and inconsistencies the series had.

[@sesesesesesesesesesese]

@@DanielBrainbox Sorry if I’m insulting you by informing you of stuff you already know. I’ve been delving into it for about the same amount of time, and I’m still noticing new things hehe! I just thought I’d mention those details to give you a sense of legitimacy in your choices. I know it can be hard when you feel like you’re making decisions that the majority of people aren’t going to agree with the first time they see it. But at least you know there is some evidence that supports the way you want to do it, and you’re not just going down a path that has no basis.
