[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb] The impulse thrusters are giving me trouble because of the lack of clearance past the abdomen. So, I've made some adjustments. Which is better? [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/232/ABDChoice.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]The simplest way to solve the clearance problem is to move the engines back away from that rounded edge and stick them on the outer hull proper. So they don't look too sticky outy (very technical term!) I'd also elongate them back a bit so they merge with the hull a little better. The whole flower petal thing doesn't really scream warship to me! and As for the shift in mission profile, what if it performed just fine, but a political shift in the post-war Admiralty led to the program being cut short in favour of smaller, more efficient and much more numerous designs that could cover the Federation's rapidly expanding frontier. These behemoths, while fast can only be in one place at a time, while the same amount of resources could produce three smaller starships that are (9 times out of 10) just as capable at dealing with whatever is out there and if not, reinforcements are that much closer and more numerous. I see something like this eventually being relegated to transport or escort duty, perhaps even serving as an academy trainer ship...or have you already done the Republic? ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
