USS Stargazer Retrospective
Re: USS Stargazer Retrospective
Great kitbash.
Though what was the point of the shorter nacelles? Outside the Akira class it had a bow mounted hangar bay.
Also had dual impulse engines too.

Re: USS Stargazer Retrospective
Never really cared much for it but recently I have to say it became one of my favourite ship classes....and maybe the best kitbash there is.
It just looks great from almost every angle, it makes sense from a design point of view (moreso than the Constitution class, since it is not so unbalanced) and would make a great "hero"-ship imho. And dispite being cleary a TMP era kitbash...it does - imho - not look out of place in the TNG era and could have easily passed for a younger generation ship.
Shame we never got an updated TNG stype version of the class...the Cheyenne doesn't look nearly as neat as the Constellation. Again....long range deep exploration vessel, with lots of hangar space and whatnot......it would make a great "backbone of the fleet" type hero-ship you could center a series around.
