I thought i'd post a picture of my 'work-in-progress' - I've actually had this sitting on my 'puter for over a year I think!?! I every now and then, get around to adding things to it. Here, though, is a version.

What do you think.

Oh, and I thought i'd get it 'out there' before 'Enterprise' comes along... even though it is NOT of that era. It is a '24th century' starship.

Why the extra wide nacelle struts? Are they hollow, with corridors in them?

"Fascinating."

Really. I like! My only points are as follows:

Nacelle struts, yeah why so wide?

Do they sweep down/up before the impulse exhaust? Or do they block it, a la Enterprise-B?

Aren't shuttles going to have a hard time with the odd location of the bay?

What is that gigantic huge dip in the forward hull for? Deflector, torpedoes?

Er, escape pods? (Bottom of the hull, I assume.)

How many decks? From the window layout, the top of the hull seems to have a very shallow slope.

That's all! Hope I haven't crushed any aspirations for a career in starship R&D.

The nacelle struts/pylons are 'wide' cause they aren't just struts/pylons, they actually have 'substance' - hence the windows... only probably a deck or two worth, but more than pylons. - until you get closer to the nacelles, and where they angle down.

The front... yes, room for deflector thingies... on the very front, and the scoop-out section will resemble the Voyager front scoop out section... not finalised. Looking at it though, it could be a 'bulge' not a 'scoop-out'! ;o)

Er, so you're going to put the main navigational deflector and the auxiliary deflector one on top of the other? Or is the scoop just going to resemble the Intrepid-class scoop?
