Iskatel'-Class (Searcher-Class): Direct Link: https://i.postimg.cc/8P9QDzzP/Federation-USS-Alexei-Arkhipovich-Leonov-00.jpg I designed her to be a small ship similar to a patrol vessel or corvette for TMP in honour of the cosmonaut who recently passed.
Love it! Those Vulcan Warp Sled nacelles look great, they also tie in nicely to Discovery's angular nacelles, which just makes this design even cooler even cooler IMO.
So, this is... Six decks? Is the bridge in the topmost deck with an observationdeck underneath, or is that window the bridge? I like the design a lot, nice work with the spherical hull!
Agreed on a slight Vulcan Warp Sled look, but also looks like someone used Klingon parts to kitbash. Just the front ball and the pylons & nacelles. But a beauty either way.
Thank you sir Thanks! Thanks. Not enough designed TMP era ships in general imo...that's a critique that includes me and my work. Maybe...been out of it as of late, but I'll see Damn straight Need to give them pointy-ear SoBs some credit...lol HERESY! lol nah just kidding lol Thanks You are correct, that window is the bridge (cockpit?). I was thinking 5 decks with a crew of 15 max? ...lol thanks.
I remember one year where a Ships of the Line calendar image depicted a USS Leonov as a Miranda-class ship. This could be one of its ancestors.
