[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Well ,I didnt actually have the comic with me at school today, so I'm just lucky i remembered the important things i needed to include. I misremembered the dark panel on the pylon being there, while there wasnt much there in the comic. I think that there was a revision in the artwork at some point, Haley had drawn the TOS version and was forced to change it (you'll notice that on p27, there is a TOS bridge behind Lyrinda).. b/c in the closest view, it always has a TMP bridge and nacelle, but the saucer resembles a TOS more than anything, with angular corners rather than rounded, and one panel the nacelle still looks rounded. So I surmised the structure of the ship like this: I took a TOS saucer (with its slightly sifferent contours), put a TMP bridge on top and a TMP Nacelle on it. For the bottom, I knew it wasnt actually shown, but i know that Haley did put a deflector spire on the Marco Polo, so i assume he might also have put one on the Caspian. I just like deflector spires, especially on deflectorless ships ;) . I also put the TMP style sensor suite.. and the history of the Belknap/Decatur-class is thus: According to the SotSF timeline, the Decatur-class was the original name of the class, and the Decatur NX-2500 was built, a TOS style ship (this occurred close to the end of the five year mission).. there was a delay in the project, and the second vessel was redesigned with TMP tech, the USS Belknap.. since the vessels were so different, the class was renamed Belknap. The Decatur was a one-off class ship, served for a while and was refit a bit to a more TMP version (but still different looking that the Belknap.. kind of like the phase-2 enterprise tech). Since it was technologically lacking, it was made a cadet training ship. Since the ship shown was only seen in front view, and was a cadet trainning vessel, i surmise it could be the Decatur.
