[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Well, time to start speculating... I'd wager most people in this contest are going to be thinking about an Intrepid-Sovereign cross. 450m and 350 crew is just fine, considering that Voyager was 344m long and had a crew of 150. As such, I'm thinking SPACIOUS will be the key visual motif inside and out, in order to accomodate all the species they'll run into. Independent and redundant systems will also be a major factor, to highlight the endurance and reliability of the ship on super-extended missions. So, we're going to see considerations like: - quad nacelles, OR notably advanced nacelles that can operate independently. - expanded fuel and deuterium supply - Sternbach has written 3 years for Intrepid, five for Galaxy; we'd likely be talking 8-10 for Titan, no? - if there's a separation capacity, each part would also be capable of significant warp AND sufficient capacity to house the entire crew for extended periods of time in each section, if one part were lost. - bridge and all major facilities would be designed with significant ergonomics in mind - Onboard manufacturing and repair facilities outstripping even the Intrepid class. ...And so forth. So, if we're going to try to come up with a design from Flare, I'd suggest we start with a defined mission profile document (like at the start of the TNG:TM) and solicit design proposals that way.
