This ship I envision as a first generation UFP ship complementary to the Daedalus class cruiser. The Canopus class features a lot of elements borrowed from ships we've seen in the ENT era, but hopefully advanced a few decades.

Comments?

Very nice... Looks similar to a NX-class but with a SFMuseum twist.

Very interesting. Nice approach with this intermediate step. What are the gold bands on the sides?

If I didn't know better, I would say these are phaser strips [Wink]

Very sexy. I can see one of them floating alongside a Daedalus.

Kazeite, no, those gold strips are sensor packages. I wanted to find a way to suggest that this ship was packed with sensors and scanners and such, but not doing it in the NX, greebly sort of way.

Very cool- looks like a cross between the old Loknar and Andrew's OX class.

Wow! This design almost reconciles the Daedalus and SF Museum style with that of Enterprise.

Would you like to post it in the JoAT? (sorry for the litle plug)

Bernd, thanks so much, man! You opinion means much.

I'd love to post it on the JoAT..but can I make it ready for prime time first? There's shading and panelling I want to do first. It's a little color discordant right now.

At this quality you can easily submit the ship as it is.

Okay, Bernd, here's my ready-for-primetime version of the Canopus.

Still want it for the JoAT?
