This is easily my favourite take on the old "TOS era Miranda" idea. Although I think the deflector would look better if it was a wide distorted rectangular shape, with the sides straight and upper and lower edges bulging out. The pod it attaches too would also benefit from a little beefing out.

Who says it has to become a standard Miranda? Er...I refer to the one on the right. It's a Miranda hull with a sensor/deflector pod much like your deflector design and a pair of "saddlebag" sensor pods on the sides.
I have an extra Coventry hull (somewhere) and would love to build this design... Not too keen on the name though.

I don't think there should be a blue deflector crystal dome thingy - or what ever that is... that was introduced with the Refit Enterprise and it's era of ships - have something more TOS-y there. An Ion pod perhaps?

Well this one is supposed to be bridging between TOS and the movie era ships. A few pages back there was some discussion of the shoehorn thing from the back of a Constitution's saucer, but the heart of the matter is that I've never trusted shoehorns. I've never been able to forgive them for the death of my boy.

Jason mentioned that he wan't fond of the name and since he revealed to us the awful nature of what ails him. I thought maybe it would cheer him up or something.
Also I've heard the shoe-horn referred to as the "linear accelerator", as to what function that would serve on a starship, your guess is as good as mine.

You know I really shouldn't have read Jason's post about his disease after dinner, and maybe it also wasn't a good idea to look at some pictures of it on Google.
