Here are more from the Jeager Files
Alex created a lot of designs for STFC and in addition to yesterdays post here are some more meshes and some rough B&W concepts. As a special treat the last sketch is by ILM model maker extraordinaire, John Goodson. he was in charge of building all the practical models with his crew for First contact and he had a minute or two to doodle this little beauty up.. Would have loved to have this one as a model.
all meshed up
totally meshmerized
mesh-orama
meshmerizing
OK enough meshing around
love his quads,,, I want to see more of the quad ship from the new movie!
cool sketches
goodie, goodie it's a Goodson!
Eavesdropping with Johnny 
Thanks for even more great images!
It’s interesting to see the development of the Saber class (continued from an image in yesterday’s post). The final design is neat little ship.
A pity the Zandura (quad ship) didn’t make it into the movie. Would’ve been a great addition to the fleet and would’ve fulfilled the objective of being a distinctive shape onscreen, as it doesn’t look anything like any of the others.
A lot of these are crying out to be modeled. I might have a go with the Zandura now there are more references. 🙂
go for it!!!
Thanks posting these images – more great work by Alex. I would have loved to have seen that quad design tearing in to the Borg cube, that would have been sweet!
quad is cool,,, I am going to have to try some drawings with this idea I think!!
That would be awesome! As much as I like Alex’s designs, I’ve always wondered what your version of the Armada fleet would have looked like. Maybe we’ll get to see…
love the goodson design, i’m pretty sure i’ve seen a mesh of it floating around of sci-fi meshes somewhere. I can see the Norway is still elusive in giving up to many details 😛
It’s pretty cool looking at the meshes, they really allow you to make the shapes of the ships out much better, I’ve always been a fan of the Steamrunner myself 🙂
wow if you find it grab the url if you don’t mind
Try looking under “Aegian” or “Aegean”– a similar design was featured in Star Trek: Armada II, an older video game that’s still alive in the mod community.
I love the quad “Zandura” and Goodson’s ship a lot. There are also some nice sketches by Mr. Jaeger in the image below the “Zandura” that, combined, would have made for another pretty distinctive ship. It’s also nice to see that concept mesh of the “Norway” since that filming mesh was lost/corrupted/whatever after the movie was made, never to be seen again! 🙂
So, when does the gag order on the new movie get lifted so we can see detailed images of the new ships? I want to see how right my guesses on their configurations were… 😉
love that quad idea, and loved the heavy one in the warp scene of the new movie!!!
The Goodson class is still my favorite of the bunch; it’s too bad it never made it on screen.
I love that one too!!!!
These are very cool.
I though I saw the Goodson as part of the Concepts for the Nova class.
guess I was wrong. Would be cool to see a model of that.
I don’t know what that is but to see a model would be just the icing on the cake
I don’t know what’s better, the meshes or the captions. 😉 Great stuff. I’m glad to see more on the Steamrunner, Norway and Saber classes. I feel they didn’t get enough screen time. The Akira got re-used but those 3 kind-of disappeared. I also like that Goodson-class, I have ever since I first saw it in your sketchbook. Too bad that one didn’t make it into the movie.
I keep telling myself I’m going to have to build the Steamrunner-class. I might have to do it now that you’ve posted those great wireframes. 🙂
What a meshy post! Gotta chime in along with pretty much everyone…like the quad and it would be stood out nicely. Goodson is good! Definitely would have been nice if it made it onscreen.
Great stuff John! Thank you very much for sharing! Very interesting “Norway” class variant with the secondary hull. Does anyone know if that was named for Roddenberry’s Norway Productions?
I would have loved to have seen the quad design in the completed film. The designs in the “Cool Sketches” graphic are pretty cool.
I’m really loving the Zandura quadship and the Goodson.
John, you should pitch to Cryptic to those designs in STO. 😀
John, I think if you develop the quad, you will have no problem getting someone to build it. I can’t believe there isn’t more models generated from all the coolness that you’ve been posting.
Recently I said the Nova-class was my favourite design. But I’d completely forgotten the Steamrunner, which really *IS* my favourite design.
But while we’re on the subject, can we (or Mr. Jaeger) clear up once and for all where the name Steamrunner/StReamrunner comes from?
“Streamrunner” is the name of a song by a band called Fold Zandura.
Alex Jaeger was a fan of the band and worked references to it into the names of several of the ship designs he worked up for Star Trek: First Contact.
Fabulous concepts again, thanks for posting them, John! 🙂
Re the new ‘heavy’ movie vessel, it’s got two nacelles and two secondary hulls (rather four nacelles) hasn’t it? (I may have missed a quad one though).
It’a always fun to see the concepts of these ships and then to see them as actual models. The Steamrunner class is a popular one for ST Play by Email RPGs.
Thanks for the picks of the concept art. I really do like the Goodson club as well.
