[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE] [b]Woodside Kid:[/b] The major sticking point with the FJ hull design in regards to TMP-era technology is the forward shuttlebay; there really is no good way of reconciling the two. Unlike the upgraded versions of the Coronado class through-deck cruiser I've seen, the placement of the hangar at the very top of the hull doesn't allow enough room for the horizontal power transfer shaft to the outboard engines. You would need to do some major restructuring of the hull, and you'd still have a very ungainly design. It would be easier to simply relocate the hangar bay to the stern. [/QUOTE]Indeed, hence my omission of a forward shuttlebay. Also an aft facing deflector dish wouldn't do you alot of good either. [QUOTE] I did like the sensor mounts you placed on both the top and bottom of the saucer, Reverend. Do they mean that you support the idea that the upper module on the original dreadnought was not the main bridge (as the dreadnought plans set I have states)? To me, that made a hell of a lot of sense for a combat vessel. [/QUOTE]Yeah, while I'm not a huge fan of Starfleet having warships or indeed 3 nacelles, it dose stand to reason that a Dreadnaught's bridge would be well protected. In this case that means that the bridge would be a strictly internal structure. [QUOTE] [b]Harry:[/b] Franz Joseph says they're both sensors. And since he designed the ship, that's probably what they are. [/QUOTE]You heard the man. [/QB][/QUOTE]
