Minecraft Builder Constructs Full Scale USS Voyager


Reddit user Maravrin has built a highly detailed Minecraft version of titular ship from Star Trek: Voyager.

You may recall earlier this year when we <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/123250-Minecraft-Meets-Star-Trek-In-Hyper-Detailed-Enterprise-Replica>reported on the completion of an impressive Minecraft project that saw the creation of a 1:6 scale replica of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now, just in case that wasn't enough to satisfy your inner Trekkie, we happily present you a full scale version of the USS Voyager from Star Trek: Voyager.

Built by Reddit user Maravrin, this replica of the Voyager was built using the complete deck plans for the fictional star ship. In turn, visitors to the ship (he posted download links for the project) should be able to find pretty much everything the ship was supposed to have had on the show. We haven't take an up-close-and-personal look ourselves, but we have watched a corresponding YouTube video that shows off the project during its various stages of completion, as well as highlighting several of the important areas aboard the ship.

According to Maravrin the project took a "little over two years" to complete, and while they aren't opposed to building more Minecraft replicas in the future, they'll probably select something "much smaller." Considering the time and dedication this beast took we can't blame them. In the mean time, we have no doubt there are more than a few Trek fans eager to take a tour of Maravrin's Voyager. It might not be real, but it's probably as close to actual thing as we're ever going to get.

The dedication and ambition of some Minecraft players never ceases to amaze. That is impressive work and a wonder that at no point did he yell "Bollocks to this!" and quit.

First Enterprise now Voyager, hope we get to see the Defiant or maybe even Deep Space Nine itself rendered in blocky goodness, awesome work.

I love this so much. Can't wait to explore it.

Its impressive, thats for sure! Never got into Voyager myself though.

I suspect that 9 times out of 10 that really does happen.

It makes the 10th one all the more amazing.

I wonder if he ever used Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force as a reference. The expansion pack for that game came with a full Voyager you could explore. It was a ton of fun.

Is this the finished version of the old old vid where a fellow had made just the skeleton of the thing?

Impressive either way!

Been playing a bit recently myself and this makes my dwarven mausoleum that took me about 5 hours (this is a REALLY long time compared to my usual MC projects) look like uninspired drivel.

That's an awful lot of time spent making the the ship from one of the worst Star Trek series.

Still kind of cool though.

Oh, I got so ninja'd on that one.

Amazing work, crappy, crappy show with by far the worst captain EVER!

 

[TechTim]

Amazing job! would have loved to see the delta flyer in the hanger tho

 

[cjbos81]

Maybe I should start playing minecraft. Or not.

Awesome work. Didn't the Minecrafter who made the Enterprise D get a C&D letter from Paramount though? Should this person expect the same?

Also, I'm not entirely sure where the disdain for Voyager comes from. Can someone explain it?

There is so much incomprehensible gobbeldy gook in voyager, for one. Sure, TNG had its heisenberg compensators and baryon sweeps, but by the time voyager rolled around it seemed that every charachter would rattle off an endless list of meaningless technical jargon.

But mostly, its because voyager is not TNG, and different is bad when it comes to media consumption by fans.

Eh, it's pretty much the middle-ground as far as the series' go. Below Deep Space Nine and The Next Generation, while being above Enterprise and The Original Series.

I don't think I'd put it above the original series. Maybe (big MAYBE) if you try and compare apples to oranges the original series to a show that had the benefit of coming out decades later, but even then, the original series had some excellent episodes though, and deserves a lot of credit for being a rather landmark piece of science fiction. Hell, I'd go so far as to say it has more episodes worth watching than Voyager did. And Voyager's best episodes tended to be ones that riffed off of older Trek episodes, but did a worse job of it.

Er no, I think you'll find the original series is leaps and bounds ahead of Voyager. I'll happily watch the first season of TOS over the first 4 seasons of Voyager. /Nerd Rage

Is there actually a good RPG set aboard the Enterprise C (I think that's the Next Gen one) or the Voyager? I'm talking Mass Effect style where you're mainly first person and exploring the ship/planet rather than controlling an armada of ships. I would play the hell out of that, especially looking at how fantastic it looks even in Minecraft :<

Looks like there's a gen war going on too. I'm throwing my lot in for Next Gen and Voyager!
