Now, mind that these are super low-def; just a basic model (not even a bridge, impulse engines or deflector), and no textures.


I can't even see the pics? What's up? Hey, can you email them to me?

Odd. Anyone else having trouble?

Mark - just a sec. :wink:

I can see them fine.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Looks great Mark - to echo Teaos I think the back edge of the saucer needs to be moved back a fair bit, to protect the nacelles a bit more and to give use some more overlapbetween the saucer and engineering hulls. As it stands that connection looks like a weak point.

Nice design. Though I agree with Seafort and Teaos on the saucer.

Similar to the Prometheus-class in spaceframe design: Delta saucer, four nacelles, elongated and flattened engineering hull.
There is not a problem in this world that can't be solved without the proper application of a sufficient number of thermonuclear ordnance.

I'll echo the sentiments on here that the saucer should be more integrated with the engineering hull; both because it follows the modern design trend, and to help alleviate stress points.

How about the fact that it's approximately 1 zillion times the size?

The promethius has nacellese stuck out behind it, this has them tucked under it.
