Sorry for tooting my own horn here, but Simon and Shuster have finally released the schematics for my USS Sagittarius, based on my earlier USS Paris.

Nice! Although the conversion to pdf seems to have really messed with the gradients in the side view.
An upper saucer bulge offset from the lower saucer bulge? Interesting. I know this ship isn't very big, but it would be interesting to see how the deck are laid out.

Shiny. I dig. I bet it's got a lot of stairs.
The offset shouldn't matter much, BJ, as the bulges don't connect directly.

Nice. Looks like it could be a predecessor to the Nova-class. I like designs that look like they fit in logically with canon ships, like this.

It's real small inside. The only full-width deck is within the main saucer, and it only reaches full height under the dorsal bulge. That's why a there's a Millenium Falcon-like tunnel to the docking port. There's also a garage in the ventral bulge, with a door that functions as a ramp, and an "open plan" 2-deck-high engineering room with side catwalks in the rear of the saucer and in the tail. From the main deck of the saucer there are stairs to the garage and to the engineering section, which is half a deck up, and a ladder to the part of the tail that goes over the dorsal bulge (to the transporter alcove). Allen Rolfes has done full deck plans, but their fate is undecided.
My gradient on my drawing were smoother. Also, the PDF laterally expanded the shadow of the impulse deck on the rear view.

Marco Palmieri, the editor I worked with at S&S, wanted runabout-style seating (2 in front, 2 in back, I guess) with a viewscreen (but no window) at the front of the saucer.

Probably not. It is nearly identical in shape (but not in size) to an earlier museum ship, so it would be something like the Akira/Nx-01 problem, but even worse!

More like the "three or four sizes of Klingon Bird-of-Prey" problem, I'd say!
