I never understand why grave digging topic was seen so bad on this forum and imidietly locked up , with only explanation: grave digging ,especialy on topics like this , when bumping/re-open topic here just servs as means to update situation.
So yes, we just want to know is there is any update on this , or plans for future , so please dont lock it up.

True, and those liners are so sexy, this topic really needed a bump, it's a shame if these ships end up in disco-limbo
I'm afraid Oldum left Discovery roughly two years ago due to personal reasons and while I believe his intention was to upload the files somewhere so they could be finished, sadly I'm not sure if he managed to do so before he went.
A little bit of trivia, each of the line was to be named after a constellation and for bit extra heres the old infocards we wrote up, enjoy:
Developed as part of OS&C’s project to succeed the aging Enterprise, the Gemini was the second ship to be designed under the new initiative. The original design, a massive liner later modified to become the Andromeda, was rejected due to technical limitations and replaced instead by three specialised liners, each designed around a single role.
The Gemini, the middle child of the three, was built exclusively as a luxury liner and is the first ship in the Orbital Spa and Cruise fleet designed purely for first class accommodation. This singular purpose has allowed the Gemini to overshadow its larger competitors by reinforcing its high class status appeal, attracting greater numbers of wealthy guests with its lavish staterooms, cutting edge entertainment systems and exquisite leisure facilities.
The third and final design in OS&C’s project to succeed the archaic Enterprise, the Pegasus was created as a middle ground between the massive Andromeda and the nimble Dorado, specialised to carry a thousand or more passengers whilst still retaining the ability to land on a planet’s surface.
To achieve such a feat the designers were forced to compromise and in some cases outright remove features detailed in their concepts, the most significant change by far is the loss of shuttlecraft facilities which greatly limits the range of the Pegasus.
Despite the imposed limitations, the design team has managed to instill a high level of comfort aboard ship with generous sized cabins fit for first class passengers, however the lack of certain leisure facilities may limit the appeal.
The massive Andromeda class began life as an early design intended to succeed the antiquated Enterprise but due to technical limitations caused by its size the entire concept was scrapped in favour of dividing the project into three specialised liners.
Unwilling to see their previous hard work to go to waste the designers modified the blueprints, reducing the intended luxuries to make room for a greater number of berths and increased life-support, creating the largest passenger transport ever to grace the stars, the superliner.
The removal of all indulgent extras has placed the Andromeda’s appeal into a more price conscious demographic who seek cheaper, more effective transport to their holiday destinations. Although profit per ticket is less, the unprecedented amount of passengers and reduced cost of supplies per journey has resulted in a highly profitable venture that has begun to rival current luxury cruises.
Due to its immense size and cost to produce the Andromeda is never seen outside of company control, remaining one of Orbital Spa and Cruise’s most closely guarded assets.
You ... you ... you have dared to summon the devil himself ?
You are not prepared!!!!
Anyways, yeah, I'm pretty much out of this bussiness, having an american football team to run, plus work, family and all that stuff, but I do keep lurking around from time to time.
Unfortunately in a recent event most of my hard drives got fried by a short circuit, so basically everything I had on these was gone, however I'll try to get them off from p3d and stick them somewhere here if anyone would like to finish the not so little to-do with the 3 liners.
With the Enterprise-class getting old and worn , a new design was made, with-up-to date technology and all the internal possibilities that a spaceship can handle. When it comes to luxury travels, the logical use of space becomes irrelevant, so the ship is sacraficing useful living space to house spa and wellness facilities, restaurants, sports and entertainment modules at the cost of passanger housing capabilities. ( This is the revision of my first concept after learning some things the hard way )

Size is a bit smaller then the Enterprise and cargo space should somewhere be around 3.3 - 3.5 K to reflect that. Stat wise, it should be somewhere between the current Passenger Liner and Luxury Liner
#4.) Passenger Superliner - Texturing and hardpointing needed
(Before you read any further, please note that this ship is intended to be OSC only, with both inRP and OoRP reasons, cause OSC is simply not as profitable as any other trading faction is due to not having capable ship for profit. The idea with this ship was to give people something that has the cargo space toactually make profit with and get somewhere closer to the profits cargo trading factions can make )
With the increasing demand of mass passenger transportation due to events of war and other demographic events, a ship was needed which is capable of transporting the most amount of people possible, while still being able to use trade lanes and jumpgates safely. The ship design uses every inch of space to accomodate passengers during their travel, at the cost of deffensive weaponry.

Size is somewhere between the Liberty Dreadnought and the Liberty Carrier. Yes, no mistake there, it's suppose to be big ! 5k cargo space, weapons and armor should resemble the 5k cargo ships , maybe a bit more turrets ( 7 - 9 ) due to it's size, but that's devs turf. Also, should be flyable with OSC ID only ! ( see Zoner Whale for refference )
Also, here I'd like to point out that the original concept belongs to @Jinx , I made this model with his permission and help.
#5.) Passenger Liner / Transport - Texturing WIP
Designed for both orbital and space flights, the vessel is a cheap alternative to anyone wishing to fly people around. Due to not having a dedicated hangar bay big enough to house a landing shuttle, the ship itself was made to be capable of performing planetary landings and takeoffs on a regular basis withlout any danger.
it's size is somewhere near a mid size transport (2.2 k cargo maybe) similar to the Geisha, which means it should follow that somewhat stat vice.
So after fighting through all this stuff, I'd like to know ideas, thoughts and constructive critics. One thing I'd like to point out as a head start , I don't want to replace the Luxury liner model, we were thinking of different solutions, probably some inRP things, as some people seem to like it pretty much.
So I just was reminded these Ships here Exist in a Semi Finished Status. I don't understand much of Codeing and Designing Ships. But the Luxury Liner Looks Like it could Hop into the Game and be right at Home. why are these Beautys not in the Game?
