It's ludicrous, and only a in-joke homage to Saturday Night Live. Besides, no such name was discernable on the ship in 'ATTS', and it didn't even have a USS prefix. <br /><br />-I prefer the nacelle orienatation this way...<br /><br />-Harry, good spot on the 'rib thingy'. I also missed the extended nacelle fin. I'm aware both are missing and was wondering if anyone would pick that up. I considered it as an afterthought, but in an uncharacteristic moment of lethergy, and indifference to this ship and my mesh, just couldn't be bothered to do them.<br /><br />Cap Mike - it's a reliable server, can't imagine why you're not getting an image. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,21,19,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 21, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">07:23 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Well, I'm not saying that you should call it "<i>Raging Queen</i>".

In the side view, you also have a "ramplike" thing connecting the saucer to the secondary hull.<br /><br />Upon examining the shadows of our one and only "Raging Queen" side view, it seems to me that the ramplike part could in fact be the <i>trailing edge of the pylon</i>. That is, the pylon would consist of the squarish part you show, plus a triangular part attached near-seamlessly to it. This would best explain how the shadows fall on the seam between the square and triangular parts in the photo.<br /><br />Whatever connects the saucer to the secondary hull would then be completely obscured by the pylons. <br /><br />The triangular parts might be made out of Constitution pylons, which have those dark "plasma vent" things on the leading and trailing edges - there's something like that evident on these triangular parts as well. Or if the kit bashed here was a Miranda, then its pylons could also serve.
