Here is the Daedelus/NX hybrid I've posted a few times - but not like this - the other times were just simplistic sketches... I'll post the sketch (from a long time ago) and the schematic I did tonight.
I like it, really I do.

Heh, looks like the Enterprise ran into a wall
Actually, it is a nice idea as far as "updating" the old Daedalus design, but maybe it shouldn't be quite as abrupt.

Nah, it looks like Enterprise bitten by a bee
But yeah, it's a nice idea Posted by Paladin181 (Member # 833) on :
A good merging of the two and updating

IMO, it needs a few more rows of windows on the "saucer."

I think it looks really cool! Other views?
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Not at the moment... thanks for the comments. What is the best way to get the side view to match the top view?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
I really dig it: I'd probably make the "saucer" larger (with more windows) so it looks like more of a succesor to the Enterprise.
If that design uses Phase Cannons, they'll loook like someone is sticking a rifile out a window!

From the deep dark corners of my mind, the words "orthgraphic projection" bubble up.

Geometry... ack... coordinate translation... ack... do not utter those words again...
Posted by leuckinc (Member # 729) on :
Very nice.

It looks like an NX that is having an allergic reaction.

Did anyone click on the original pic link?
Posted by machf (Member # 1233) on :
Yes, I did.

So now you're infected?
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
OK this is an update taking on board some of your suggestions... I'm starting to experiment with colouring. I'm using PSP to do this - would Photoshop be better?
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
Photoshop is always better. But that's only because it's the only on of the two that I know how to use.
It's a fine looking ship.
Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :
I never could get to grips with Photoshop's vector based tools, but then I'm probably too used to using PSP.
Posted by seanr (Member # 277) on :
Illustrator would be ideal.
Looking nice.
Posted by Manticore (Member # 1227) on :
Whoa whoa whoa...Photoshop has vector based tools?
When did those get introduced? At least in PS five, they don't.
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
5.5 has it's vector tools right next to the Text tool.
But I like the big I for my vector needs as well.

I like it a lot! Maybe you should change the pylons to look different than on Enterprise, and you could add a small secondary hull, and we would get a credible daedalus for the ENT universe.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
I was thinking about slinging under some of the J-class cargo pods out the back as a make-shift secondary hull on it's way to being the Daedalus.
Why do the nacelles change? Wouldn't it be a sort of case of 'if it works use it again'.
