Harry, i love your renderings.. one thing, i think that a lot of Federation-class fans had decided that we prefer the center nacelle rotated so the intercooler (the thing thats usually on the inside of the nacelles) would point up, just like the Saladin/Hermes has been revised to have the structure point down. symmetry!

The Makin and Balson aren't very pretty either. They are hereby NOT nominated for updated schematics.

Other ships I might do:

- Detroyat
- Coronado
And if I ever get around to do movie-era designs:
- U.S.S. Decatur and the Belknap class.
- Ascension
- And probably refits of FJ's ships.

My vote would be for the Detroyat. Of the three, I think that one is the most unique.

You could ask a similar question about the Federation. If the modern assumption about main engineering being in the secondary hull is correct, how the hell do you get power up to the centerline nacelle? (Without endangering the flight deck personnel, that is.)

Warp Core? On a TOS era ship? No such thing. [Razz]

All of the Coronado's engineering is supposedly in the saucer section. Perhaps that explains the raised impulse engines.

If you do decide to do the Decatur, DO NOT do the TOS-era version. That version was never built. It was simply a computer model.

Never built?
Yeah.

hmph.. i thought it was built and had to be reconstructed for design flaws. besides, they might have even built more than a few of the TOS variant, and they were left out of the manual as 'disinformation to threat forces'

cuz it was a sweet looking TOS ship!

The TOS style Decateur was merely a design proposal. The Decateur as originally built had TMP nacelles but a saucer that was mid way between TOS and TMP. Then the Belknap was built. Finally the Decateur was modified to something a bit more like the Belknap but still distinct.

I know about all that. But I could still draw the TOS-era proposal. Was something ever built in this stage of the Decatur dev project, or did it only exist as a computer model?

For the Federation, though, there's a bit more room. Given how small the nacelle pylons are anyways, it's no big deal to route a plasma transfer conduit through the rear of the neck to get up to the third nacelle.

Though I wonder why they couldn't just have the third pylon mounted from the secondary hull, like Masao's Siegfried-class.

At any rate, I'd also like to cast my vote for Harry doing the Detroyat. That's one of the few fan designs of the "old" generation (those manuals that were published decades ago) that I genuinely love. [Smile]
