[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb] Griff: Hermes: The dish on a stick was one of the things I always hated about the Scout/Destroyer design. I have assumed that the concentric rings behind the dish are an integral part of the deflector machinery, so having a dish hanging like that seemed a bit weak to me. I probably won't do additional views, just side views. [/qb][/QUOTE]I can respect that. However, I just reeeaaallly don't like the way you resolved it. [qb] [QUOTE]Federation: I've always liked the rear deflector! I liked it so much that I've used it on some of my own ships. I think it's a very distinctive feature of Federation and will not change it. I'm also like the machinery bits of the nacelles as much out of sight as possible, usually downward or inward. I think the ship looks cleaner that way, in keeping with Matt Jeffries' design principles. [/qb][/QUOTE]All due respect to Mr. Schnaubelt (FJ), but I never did like that dish on the ass-end of the [i]Fed[/i] design. It just doesn't flow to me and looks... wrong. [qb] [QUOTE]Wraith: The more I look at the primary hull of my Federation, the more I like it, despite initial reservations. One of the main things I wanted to do was add a bit of detail and difference to the upper and lower halves and make them look less bloated. I still might make the disc thicker, but I think I will retain the bridge module. [/qb][/QUOTE]Oooh! Oooh! Mistah Kottah! I got an idea. You could expand the diameter to the original proportions and add a B/C deck area that's a bit more like the "Phase II [i]Enterprise[/i]" drawings protray it. Or, if you will, as the [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/heavycruiser_tikopai.jpg][i]Tikopai[/i] class, as seen at Starship Schematic Database[/URL], in case you're not familiar w/what I'm talking about. :) Just a thought....
