Hi,
it'me...again...
I read the future of starships thread and I played around with Corel Draw and made this "future" starship:

It's not final
What do you think so far?

So and here I have made a size comparsion of all starships I ever made with Core Draw:

Looks like a ray fish. I like.

Maybe the nose comes out too flat. But I see it's intended to be a very large ship, so I guess it�s fine.

I kind of like it, though I'm not at all sure about the swooping curve of the front part.

Very interesting Lobo. It's like the Federation's answer to the Romulan Bird of Prey. I'm inclined to agree with Sol. I would reduce it just a tad. If the deflector dish is going to be on the front end, it kind of makes the engineering hull (really, an engineering stud) unnecessary unless you need to segregate the warp drive for a technical reason. I would make the curve somewhere in between what you have now and the flat ventral line of the ship in the linked pic you had that's right below this design.

Regardless of our advice one way or the other, I hope you decide to make a dorsal view. I'd like to see the shape from all three dimensions.

Matches the "starfleet dragster" look that designs have tended toward in recent years.

Nice rendering but not my bag.

I love the newer, meaner, sleeker ship designs. But this one sorta looks a little too much like a cartoony Dauntless NX-01A
