I have to say I like it. Very different, very curvy and it gives a convincing sense of being truly a titan in every sense of the word! :-) Excellent work...I always thought that the Titan would be an impressive ship, something the post-war Federation would be looking to to restore some of the prestige to Starfleet's exploratory arm, and this fits the bill very well.
Any chance of fore/aft and plan views? Not, of course, trying to be cheeky or anything like it! ;-)

Hmmm... I don't really care for it. I agree with Sol that the wasp abdomin thing isn't really working.
Also, this ship would have had to have been created *during* the war (if it's brand new), when the Federation was struggling just to keep up, so I don't think it would be this big. I'm of the opinion that the name Titan refers to the moon rather than to the mythological race of giants.

Well, this Titan is a bit further ahead timewise, it wasn't designed for the books, it was just me, and what I thought of when I read the word - Titan.

Yeah, this was one of the flaws I saw in the whole Titan concept from Pocket Books. Titan SHOULD be a big ship, compared to the Enterprise. At least equal in size, though probably no larger than a Galaxy. Point being, Riker spent seven years on TV pining about getting a big, fast ship. He passed up on three smaller ones, and then post-Nemesis, he does just that. Sure, it's newer, but it's not the fastest, the strongest, the best in anything except maybe sensor capability. It'd be as though Riker took command of Voyager after the end of TNG.

The Ship: U.S.S. Titan, NCC-80102, Luna-class. The Titan is a midsize Starfleet vessel, approximately 450 meters in length (larger than the U.S.S. Voyager, smaller than the Enterprise-D), with a crew complement of 350. Titan's hull configuration is comparable to other established Starfleet vessels.

Dorsal view is proving difficult. Although this ship is so big, that it won't have a shuttlebay (or two or three) it has an aft-facing docking complex (think starbase/DS9 flexibility).
Also, and I know this is a fault of many fanboy uber-ships, but in this case I think it's necessary - 3 M/ARAs. 1 for each nacelle, and 1 for ship's power. Unless you think SF would have managed to get hold of a D'Dederex and reverse-engineered that quantum singularity in there. I don't want to be the first to draw that thing!
Also, this ship will reflect changing attitudes in SF about exploration and image, and the effect of psychological warfare on potential aggressors. (That's why she's so freaking big, not because SF believes size matters, but because the Romulans, and the Dominion, and the Borg, and Kazon do.)

3 reactors, I don't think it's even usefull - docking complex - so it's not ship, but flying starbase.
I dont't think SF believes size matters, because maneuver with such a giant wouldn't be vicotry, and if you think some of main races in ST universe will be frighten when see this, you're wrong, they'll just enjoy destruction of such psychological nonsence - they are really not that stupid!

I'm sorry, if it seems, I'm hostile. I don't want to be.
