Having never built an 'uber-ship', I'm jumping on the bandwagon here. I always wondered what Starfleet might do after... (Endgame Spoiler)

....Voyager's return - would they go on to research and utilize these transphasic torpedoes that Voyager brings back...?
A scratch mesh of one concept I'm considering.

To add a bit of sleekness, you could try positioning the lower nacelles farther back - or farther forward/closer together.
Assymetrical - but it might look cool.

I love the angle you've got on the ship in the lower right-hand corner ...
Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :
Thanks. I'm envisioning this to be based on the 'Intrepid Family'. Nacelles will be four - configuration undecided.
Interesting suggestion Trekno. Also, maybe it could be like the Proto-Neb, with the upper nacelles being slightly smaller... I don't know, experiments are continuing.

I love it, it looks very menacing. My favourite is the upper left angle. Anymore pics of it soon?
A shameful secret of mine is that I�ve always liked the warship-aspect of the ships best. (Guess which Voyager-episode I drooled over? )

"The warship Voyager - one of the most powerful vessels of its time. Armed with photonic torpedoes and particle weapons, this ship of destruction could wipe out an entire civilization within hours."
Brr. One wonders how a slightly more militaristic Federation might have fared against the Dominion.

Your talent still makes me sick.... I like it, sorry, but no particular angle for me, all look good...
Although, sorry to say, the X-Wing flashed through my head while looking her over, especially the upper-right...

I hope it doesn't have variable geometry warp nacelles...
"Ensign... take us to warp... Engage!"
"Ah, Sir... we've just destroyed the warp nacelles..."
"Explain!"
"They smashed into each other!"
*smacks hand to head*

I like the ship at the moment, i think you are heading in the right direction. However, i think it would be better with sovereign-style nacelles, or some variation of them. Most recent designs have used them.
Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :
I quite like the nacelles as they are. If I were to do Sovereign style nacelles it would be more of the Sovereign family, like the Nova. This was going to specifically be an Intrepid family ship, like a small Escort type sharing a similar design theme. And one thing I wanted to stay away from was the too organic, or too fluid designs that often crop up in the more contrived fan designs. I wanted to conjecture something not too 'far out' and implausible. I have my own strict design rules that I don't bend.
Yeh, I can see the X-Wing similarity, but it's just a coincidence.
