That depends on what purpose you think it's being used for. I believe that the Ambassadors were explorers through and through, and thus weren't suitable for workhorse-type duties that the Excelsiors eventually fell into. Likewise, the Excelsiors probably didn't end up as that great an exploration ship despite its size (for its era), but served great as a general-purpose starship to handle the day to day actiities of running a Federation. Better to have a million one-trick ponies than a handful of thoroughbreds, as it were.

I've made a correctly-nacelled Curry diagram (I've been promoting the big-nacelle version from the beginning, even though no-one would listen). Unfortunately, it's for UP3, so I can't show it off. And, when I went to make the top view, I found that the side view had a few things that were a bit off, so it needs work.

How come Vogon could do it with his NX-01 top view?

There. You can look at it, save it to your HDD, play w/ it, whatever. But don't post it anywhere else, or link to it, or anything like that.

OT: What IS actually happening in that UP3 forum? Any ideas as to when anything tangible will show up on the Internet?

Whew! Finally I found the thread where I had asked for this picture. There are so many Curry-related things going on that an innocent little "Hi" never rang a bell - I kept looking for this everywhere else but.

Right. Thank you very much, TSN! That's a pretty picture of an ugly duckling. And the dimensions look very realistic.
