[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] The next ship in the line, according to Star Trek Online. [URL=http://www.startrekonline.com/node/2549]Love it or hate it, it's here.[/URL] The Memory Alpha Wiki lists it as "apocrypha", but as there won't be any new Trek series/movie set in 2390 for many years (if ever), this is what we got for now. [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/205/f.jpg[/IMG] In my eyes it's an Intrepidized Sovereign, with streaks of Nova-class sprinkled here and there, especially the belly bump. The deflector region has obviously borrowed from the early Ambassador concept ship. My jury's still out on it, but I like the regal style of the nacelles, and the squarish nacelle cowlings are reminiscent of the Ambassador as well. Back when I started watching ST:VOY, I thought "it would look even better with nacelles on struts", so this is kind of a 15 year old "What if" design to me. I always thought the Sovereign had problems with the side view, its engineering section and saucer met like a wet rolled-up newspaper, and this design has a slightly more confident side view. Few Trek ships look stellar from behind or head on, but you simply have to pull off the profile. I never liked the "escape pod fever" that hit the Trek design community after First Contact, those scores of ugly yellow triangles looked like ship ACNE to me, screaming "Hull compromise, shoot here!", and the evacuation scene in FC looked a bit disgusting, like a swarm of maggots slithering out of a carcass. This design has more sensible squarish and muted pods, and the numbers don't run away. I think it's better. Official size figures hasn't come out yet AFAIK, but I assume it's not shorter than the Sovereign, so 750-800 meters, I suppose. [/QB][/QUOTE]
