[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] I swapped out the original overly-wide drawing for a new one with more definitive nacelles and some hull detailing for effect. These nacelles are a development of ones I've used before, but I'm not sure if I like them so much. Maybe straight ones are better. Priimary hull: I thought about an asymmetrical hull, but since symmetrical hulls were used by later ships (Wasp and Moskva), I didn't want to introduce one on this ship. However, this hull shape is new by being neither a ball or an egg. The equator is flat enough, I think without adding a flat-sided slice. Neck: I also considered an angled neck, but it made the ship look less aggressive. (Showing the front of the neck is a submissive posture in animals.) If the neck and primary hull are raised, then the secondary hull doesn't have to have that ventral extension, which is a chief part of the design. Also, I wanted to have a horizontal neck like Daedalus. This ship is probably late 2160s to early 2170s, so borrows quite a bit from Daedalus. Running the neck all the way to tail I think is excessive. The ship already has those long nacelles, so visually I think it's too much. Also, I'm not going to put the nacelle supports through the neck. That's one thing I really hate about Daedalus! History: Minutiae, you're spot on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
