[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] {cough}[i]Chyenne class[/i]{cough} That engine placement is hardly limited to the Starfury- the Gunstar has the same general layout. But there [i]are[/i] resemblences- mostly due to the cockpit, really. Now that design could be nicely tweaked by making the forward section a workbee (with retractable arms under the cockpit) and having the four-engine aft section something that can be swapped out with other mission-specific modules (cargo hauler, repair suite, crew pod for planetary evac, etc.). I would definitely lose those lower nacelles in favor of a pair of impulse engines- which would look better moved closer to the hull and would alieveate and Starfury/X-wing comparisons. Designwise I HATE pretty much all of those starship ideas...with the odd exception of that "Hammerhead 02"- that could be tweaked to reflect Cardassia's joining the Federation- just make the "hammerhead" portion more saucer-like and it would sing. ;) Also, add in some familliar elements to show scale- windows, docking hatches, lifeboats, phaser strips, etc. [QUOTE][b] The Zero Room team felt that the time was right for a new approach to Trek. The setting is the year 2528 and the Federation is a different place after suffering through a devastating war with the Romulans 60 years earlier. The war was sparked off after a surprise attack of dozens of ‘Omega particle’ detonations throughout the Federation creating vast areas which become impassible to warp travel and essentially cut off almost half the Federation from the rest. During the war the Klingon homeworld was occupied by the Romulans, all of Andoria was destroyed and the Vulcans, who were negotiating reunification with the Romulans, pulled out of the Federation. The setting may seem bleak and not very Trek-like, but that is where the show’s hero Captain Alexander Chase comes in. Relegated to border patrol, Chase is determined to bring the Federation (and a ship called Enterprise) back to the glory days of seeking out new life and new civilizations. [/b][/QUOTE]Sounds a million times better than the Abrams movie- which gets worse with each viewing, in my opinion. I think it's a bit too far of a leap forward in time though- 50 years would have been plenty- and there would not be the obvious disconnect from progress in both technology and additional races added to the Federation (changing the culture).
