This is nearly a direct vector design of the sketch for the original holoship. I thought it would make a great medical ship, so, here it is. Hey, I need SOMETHING to make me look busy at work. Enjoy!

The Idea for the Emergency Overflow Hospital is that its completely run by emergency medical holograms. Its used in times of war and large-scale medical emergencies and urgent evacuations. The amount of computer power and raw energy takes 50% of the warp core down and disables the holosuites, and non-critical systems durring its use.
There are medium-sized transporters on every other deck, and 4 large transporter bays on decks 2, 3, 5, and 6.

It's an interesting design right enough, and I'm tempted to try and do a 3D version apart from the fact that i could really do with a top and rear view as well, to enable me to get an idea of how it goes together. Once it was finished I think the first thing I would do would be to strech it out sideways by about 80% so it didn't look so chubby in the forward view.

Looks like an anatomically inverted Sovereign to me. B)

Hmmm...I DO like it but it's too large, deep and narrow from the sketch I saw of the Holoship.
It's a floating hospital (somehing I like) but if that's a Q-Torp launcher under the saucer, you're just asking for trouble.
I like the sideview a lot. I really dont like the forward view at all: THe deflector is too large (if that's off the Sovvie, anyway) and the nacelles look really....strange leaning inward like that. The B-C deck (indeed the whole upper saucer) should not be domed in the fore view (based on the side view, it should look flat with the bridge on top).
I'd also either round off the bottom of the secondaey hull more or make it a pointed "V" shape like the Sabre.
Lastly, I'd give it additional shuttlebays and LOTS more lifeboats (this is a hospital after all!).
I think it's looking really nice so far but can be refined into a really great ship design.

None that I know of. It was on the original design and I sorta played with it. Probably there just to look neat. I'd say its some sort of sensor equipment or something.

Of course not, not what I had in mind for color, but hey, it looks nice!
As for 3D, i havent cracked 3ds open in YEARS, and ive recently been playing with Maya. I dont think i'll be doing one unless its isometric in illustrator.

Yes, it is pretty much a big boat. I always think of medical ships as fat and dense with lots of volume. The two launcers are a bit much, eh? Mabye i'll modify them, but its not like it wont need to defend itself. Not all enemies obey the rules of engagement.
The deflector is based on the Sovvie -- and I enlarged it. If I was to make it small, what kind of details could I fill in to make it look a bit more busy/interesting?
As for the roundness of the upper saucer, I whole-heartedly agree. It needs to slope up steeper to a flat top, instead of the semicircle i have there.
I'll add more lifeboats, which are important because if there was some sort of contamination there would need to be a giant evacuation of some sort.
Im busy for at least the next few days, so I probably wont have a revision till later this week. Thanks for the input and more is appretiated!

I think Wes1701J hit the nail on the head, with it's volume. It's meant to be "chubby", much as the Pasteur from TNG: "All Good Things" was voluminous. It allows for a maximum interior for a minimum of hull. Plenty of biobeds for patients, and operating/lab space.
As for the deflector, maybe it shouldn't be round like a Sovereign, but shaped to more reflect the lower hullshape, like on the Intrepid, like the hull lines from the fore view, like an interted bell curve.
As for curving the lower hull, that would just add an extra half-deck in the center, which would be resource wasteful.
The only other change besides the deflector I'd make is moving the antimatter storage into the center. All an enemy has to do is fire a photorp at the bottom and the whole ship becomes a mini-star.

I belive Eaves designed it to match up with the sovvie, sort of a fatty bulky version of it. But yes, i had the Pastur in mind when i was looking at the thing. It doesnt look like it, but I bet you could service as many as two Soverign-class starships worth of crew and passengers on this thing.
Could of been worse, I could of slapped a cross on an Akira with one Nacelle.

Shouldnt it be Aesculapius? Or Asklepios in the original Greek.
I agree that the nacelles should be back a bit. Perhaps you could even extend a secondary tail out backwards to attach the nacelles to. That gets the machinery away from the patients.
