Nimitz class (USS Europa type) refit

[Belz...]

And now a New Year's gift!

The Europa is probably my favourite DSC design, and among my favourite non-Enterprise starfleet ships.
Since the USS Europa from Discovery is pre-Kirk, and the Europa class in STO is post-Picard (TNG style), I decided to do something in the middle: a refit version that would sit somewhere around the time of Star Trek VI. Here is the original and the STO version:

And now my refit version:

Happy new year's, and I hope 2021 bears better fruit than 2020 for everyone.

Awesome!

Grand idea!
STO establishes that such intermediate designs are possible, with the Walker-/Georgiou-/Shenzhou-class lineup.

 

[Bernard Guignard]

Nice interpretation keep up the great work

Not a huge fan of what they did on the Georgiou, however. It doesn't really even look like the Shenzhou. Hey, that's a great idea for a new project!

 

[TrekMD]

Wow, fantastic job!

That is some excellent work. Good design made even better.

Happy New Year!

Thank you for all your comments and happy new year as well.

I hope 2021 turns out generally better than 2020.

Ever since I first saw the Europa, I've been wondering: was Kirk's Farragut a class-sister to that ship? Could it have been such?

Better and better
I'd like to see you do a Planet of the Titans type ship, at a large scale, please.

Isn't that the Discovery, now? :P

A refit era with a wide thin saucer was what I was thinking of— nacelles being shorter and higher
