    A good beginning, that.

    Well I have to say I like this design a lot better than the others now. It's just growing on me and does look like in my mind what the Aventine would look like.

    Nice. The side view is slightly reminiscent of the Ambassador-class.

    Very nice.

    Does the Aventine have the dual deflector dish like the Nova- and Intrepid-classes?

    With my take on her I decided to go that route.

    I like that idea, that the new generation of starships all--or nearly all--have the dual deflectors.

    Agreed, I can barely even draw a stick figure. By hand at least, I've never really had a chance to try with computers.

    I am really loving it! It is what I pictured when I was reading Mere Mortals.

    Question: On the forward edge of the saucer are those the torpedo tubes?

    Hmmmm. Not keen on that design, Sean, to be honest. It just seems like someone's grabbed the Enterprise E from both ends and squashed her a little bit. I'd guess the Aventine would have the sleekness of the Sovereign Class - which this doesn't have.

    This is just on take, I will more than likely Finish up on my other sketches as well.
    Also remeber this is in no way an official design. I am still doing this just for fun.

    Well, I sketched my own version of the Aventine and Sean asked me to post it in here as well, so here you guys go :)

    [​IMG]I'll probably be making a version entirely of my own as well, as I have some different ideas on how a slipstream generator is integrated into a federation ship...

    Hi Borgman.

    Nice image, and I'm glad it's apart of a site that hosts your own images per the board rules. However, while there isn't a specific rule about wide images, I'm going to edit your post to make it a link instead because it is so wide and makes the thread difficult to navigate and read.

    Thanks.

    What it should be is a very shiny sphere-ish thing. Shiny to reflect phasers... :p

    And a sphere with guns allllll around it to fire everywhere at once. :evil:

    All ships should be like this... wait, no, scratch that... just mine! :devil:
