I believe that the FF diagrams are accurate (well, the dorsal view anyway).

Look at the ship in the upper left corner of this BOBW capture. That's the Freedom for sure, strange bridge and all (not sure what parts they used for this monstrosity).

Pedro: That's what I said some time ago. Thanks for posting the top view, that one was missing. I also found the other diagrams

Augh! That vidcap does match the FF diagram! That means it's probably right! That means their Niagara is also probably right! Pleh!

No, no, no. The diagram was done after the episode. The thing in the video capture could be anything, like that Merchantman prototype.

The saucer of the FF schematic seems to match the one in the episode exactly. I think in the artist had a much better picture of the studio model than just a vidcap, otherwise he would probably have messed up the saucer and just taken an Ambassador or Galaxy saucer.

Nice to see some pics for the Freedom that actually make it look like a respectable vessel.

I still think it's crazy to only have one nacelle though. Whatever happened to multiple redundancy?

Actually, it's starting to make sense after something I read on Bernd's new Starship Design Guidelines page - the Nebula-family nacelle has two, er, whatchamacallits, *looks* warp field coils inside and therefore doesn't violate the 'pairs of nacelles' rule - and would provide an excellent testbed for this new brand of nacelle! Of course, why they'd then make it a production class is less easy to explain. . .

You wanted to see it looking semi respectable? Well, it's still ugly, but I built an accurate 3D model of it the other day...

I wonder where the impulse engines are on the Freedom-class......

Either at the back of the saucer, or somewhere near the nacelle...unless they have some micro engines on that dinky little Pylon

I have just changed the text on my page in that the vertical arrangement of warp coils makes no sense according to the TNGTM. Questionable designs are:
- AGT Enterprise
- Freedom
- Niagara as depicted in FF
- Prometheus saucer
