[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Not me. In fact, I insist that you stop looking and apply artistic license instead. :p That way, the ventral extension need not be square in section, even though that's probably what the designer intended. Based on side and front views alone, it could be a winglike shape, not that much different from a Constitution connecting neck. Or a wedge or "keel" of some sort. Also, fanfic has a ship of this class serve as the basis for the prototype of the Surya class, that is, for a TOS Miranda of sorts. You know how the Surya looks, right? It has those silly pylons starting from near the ship's axis and going out to the nacelles with a slight kink down. I think it would be best to give the Detroyat the same pylons, just without the kink. And the aft hull should by the same logic be shaped to resemble the Surya config: the sloping surface we see peeking from behind the nacelle could end in impulse engines, "outriggered" to the same position they hold in the Suryas. The "refit" would then just add shuttlebay boxes on both sides of this impulse extension, and remove the ventral keel. If you must give this ship a shuttlebay (although I wouldn't...), just put it in the keel thing. Gives the keel a reason to exist. Perhaps a big roll-up door opening to a bay that takes up the volume not covered by windows, just below the nacelle and aft of the docking port. The thing below the saucer, terminating at the bottom vertex, is a long torpedo tube, of course. :cool: Hmm. What about using the current "bridge" as a mere pedestal for the actual bridge module? You could put a "The Cage" style high bridge module there... (IIRC, the original Detroyat side view had a lower-profile structure up there than your rendition.) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
