Having never built an 'uber-ship', I'm jumping on the bandwagon here. I always wondered what Starfleet might do after... (Endgame Spoiler)

....Voyager's return - would they go on to research and utilize these transphasic torpedoes that Voyager brings back...?

A scratch mesh of one concept I'm considering.

To add a bit of sleekness, you could try positioning the lower nacelles farther back - or farther forward/closer together.

Assymetrical - but it might look cool.

I love the angle you've got on the ship in the lower right-hand corner ...

Thanks. I'm envisioning this to be based on the 'Intrepid Family'. Nacelles will be four - configuration undecided.

Interesting suggestion Trekno. Also, maybe it could be like the Proto-Neb, with the upper nacelles being slightly smaller... I don't know, experiments are continuing.

I love it, it looks very menacing. My favourite is the upper left angle. Anymore pics of it soon?

A shameful secret of mine is that I�ve always liked the warship-aspect of the ships best. (Guess which Voyager-episode I drooled over? [Wink] )

Brr. One wonders how a slightly more militaristic Federation might have fared against the Dominion.

Your talent still makes me sick.... I like it, sorry, but no particular angle for me, all look good...

Although, sorry to say, the X-Wing flashed through my head while looking her over, especially the upper-right...

I hope it doesn't have variable geometry warp nacelles...

"Ah, Sir... we've just destroyed the warp nacelles..."

"Explain!"

I like the ship at the moment, i think you are heading in the right direction. However, i think it would be better with sovereign-style nacelles, or some variation of them. Most recent designs have used them.

I quite like the nacelles as they are. If I were to do Sovereign style nacelles it would be more of the Sovereign family, like the Nova. This was going to specifically be an Intrepid family ship, like a small Escort type sharing a similar design theme. And one thing I wanted to stay away from was the too organic, or too fluid designs that often crop up in the more contrived fan designs. I wanted to conjecture something not too 'far out' and implausible. I have my own strict design rules that I don't bend.

Yeh, I can see the X-Wing similarity, but it's just a coincidence.
