Checking out the Olympic Class

[kkozoriz1]

I wouldn't imagine that the sphere would have impulse engines, at least not large ones. That's why I imagine it operating as an orbital hospital. If the secondary hull were free to return with another sphere or other primary it could be a very interesting class.

^ Gigantic lifeboat function for warp core problems...separate from the secondary hull and move to a safe distance.

If the Galaxy-class had not had that ability, how many people would not have survived the events of "Generations"?

I already covered that. Please re-read my post.

First thing I thought of during my quick drive-by of the BBS this morning; pitched it out there. I see the posts now.

Let's flip this around:

Could the sphere section detach and land as a sort of hospital base?

Just make sure it doesn't roll. That would look mighty silly.

(sorry, I just had this vision of an Olympic primary hull rolling across the surface... )

LOL!

Did you have length and width figures for the class as well?

Nice work. Always dug that design considering it was unsolicited work done by Bill George in his spare time.

I got to admit I get a chuckle out of the antiquated telescoping hydraulic pistons on the shuttle elevators. Very... quaint.

You might want to re-evaluate the warp core arrangement; think outside of the box.
Plasma doesn't like to make the type of sharp turn depicted in the pic.
K.I.S.S. and all

Plasma tubes take right angle turns all the time! What about the pylons of the Excelsior or the Enterprise-D, or the energy shaft layout in TMP?

Aaaand, she's finished
