[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Yeah that design is kinda endearing to me as well- though I almost decided to make it practical instead of (sorta kinda) like the studio model. I thought of making the central length of the hull (the thin part of the Excelsior's secondary hull from the side taht fighters would have to travel along in a through-deck cruiser)two or even three times as thick (which would accommodate even Runabouts)and making the forward egress more of a large box structure the width of the secondary hull. That would give shuttles/fighters a much greater opening than the oddly small Excelsior cargo bay pointy part (that's the exact technical term). Also, possibly removing the now foraward-facing excelsior shuttlebay in the undercut of the secondary hull and placing a deflector in there. Speaking of which, I was thinking that a ship's deflector could make an excellent fighter (and even torpedo) shield- both would have to attack from another vector than the front. That being the case, ships could supplement their shields by adding small, but powerful directional deflector emplacements like how a Phalanx System works on Naval ships. But then, if you're going there, why not use the ship's transporter emitters to beam incoming weapons fire away? We know from TNG that phaser fire can be removed safely in-transit. this idea would just expand on that notion. I'd love to see a ship being fired upon only for the beams to dissipate before hitting the hull- or better yet visually, for the beams to bend around the ship's shield bubble. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
