Wow, those look great! Though the forward pod looks a bit weird... IMO it might look better if it were better connected to the main hull.
Still, that's a great design! Looks very reasonable, and stays true to the canonical dimensions.
(Oh, and I thought you'd actually drawn the gravitic mine before that second inline image loaded. I missed the word "magnet" reading it the first time. )

Bad combination.

I was going for an oil tanker/starship troopers/star destroyer kind of look for the bridge. 180o windows seamed the best way to achieve that.

I originally had a large structure there but it made it look too much like the TAS robot drones for my tastes. Besides it's a nice design tie-in with the Antares

That's the whole reason why I designed this in the first place, none of the fandom versions that I've come across are even remotely close to the on-screen specs. Most illogical.

Which begs the question; just what is Neutronic fuel anyway? And who the hell is Pastor?

The Kobayashi Maru has a canon design, does it not? The FASA Role-playing game came up with a 3-view design and even a metal miniature for the game. The specs seen in Trek II are even written similar to the kinds of specs given in FASA publications. The design of the FASA Kobayashi Maru shows up on a screen in TNG "Conspiracy" from season 1 I believe.

I notice two mistakes. The orange band behind the bussard isn't visible on the top view, and the red bands on the fuel pods don't wrap around the rear on the side view. Are those the ones you mean?

Credit must go to Masao for that one.

If this is that Fandom design that I've seen then it's simply wrong because the dimensions don't match up. If that design was flashed onscreen then it still can't be THE Kobayashi Maru, it has to be a different one that knowone cares about.

Close, I meant to change the orange band to silver which I did on the top view but forgot about on the side view.

Shit, you bastard. You could have pointed this out BEFORE I send Bernd the "corrected" schematics.
Oh well tough poopies, we'll just pretend that those stripes aren't there. *sticks fingers in ears and hums very loudly*

I like it. No nitpicks except one about nomenclature. To be technically correct, any vessel bearing a Maru suffix should not have an 'S.S.' prefix. (That of course is in reference only to the first picture, [the "Shika Maru", which I assume is supposed to be the Shiku Maru from TNG "Darmok"] of course, as your Kobayashi Maru already bears no prefix.)

"Maru" is the Japanese word for "ship" (or something similar), right?
