[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] Believe me, I tried many other locations and solutions for the Hermes deflector, including all those suggested here, but I finally decided to go with the neck. One reason was it was something I hadn't used before. I have had deflectors on the front edge of dishes, buried in the hull, under the primary hull, etc, but never in the neck. I'm a bit wary about using an Enterprise-style hull cutout or having an Akira-style underslung deflector, since one of the main features of Connies are their smooth, round hulls. I also didn't want to get too far away from the FJ ships. I suppose I could have left the deflector off, Miranda-style, but since FJ included one I thought I should too. One thing I haven't tried is twin deflectors mounted like engine nacelles on a wing! As for the Dreadnought, I did consider widening the rear slightly, but I worried that the hull would become to cylindrical. However, I think that the hull with the straighter sides and rear deflector is still sufficiently different from the Constitution hull. The scoop has to be fairly sharp and concave since the hanger bay is back there. Any way, I'm not going to write a full-blown article about these ships or prepare 4-view schematics. I'm including them in my Constitution/Pyotr Velikiy article as only side views and a single line of text. So, I think what I have is good enough. Rev: OK... But how's the bussard going to work with the deflector like that? Finally: Welcome, Aridas! Have you introduced yourself and told the folks here a bit about your Trek tech history? [/QB][/QUOTE]
