Description
I've been a bit remiss in posting orthos for the Seeker class. So here it is.The Seeker Class is to the Vesta what the Intrepid is to the Galaxy. It is a light, medium endurance exploration cruiser equipped with slipstream drive.
The design is by Hellkite, with more detail here: hellkite-1.deviantart.com/art/β¦
The mesh was built and mapped by myself.
The textures are by Jetfreak: jetfreak-7.deviantart.com/

I did my best to try and use the t5 and t6 Vesta parts in Start Trek Online to recreate this beautiful ship, sadly couldn't really do it justice. I love love love this design, and the art to bring it to life is very well done.Β

Yes I imagine it would be difficult to recreate in STO, the Dauntless style secondary hull would make it difficult (and the sloping saucer). I think the Brigid has a deflector that's sort of similar and has the downward sweeping pylons, but then you're stuck with the sensor pod.
Thanks for the compliment though.

Thanks all for the positive comments.
DMMACB - I can't speak for Hellkite but my inspiration during the build was Dauntless and Vesta, Prometheus never entered my mind. I was aiming for the organic flowing look of the Dauntless as it's the only slipstream vessel we saw on screen.
Nhlaqgor - I like the idea of the Vesta and I like the nice sleek lines. And Rademaker did an excellent job with the build. But I really can't stand the gaping deflector and so I haven't carried that element over into my slipstream designs. I think the Dauntless integrated wedge deflector dish is a much better fit for the sleek flowing look.

Nice design definitely a improvement over the Vesta.
I like the central "spine" and the saucer integration in it. Very nice work!
