Design the Next Enterprise

I'm tempted to enter my new Legacy-class, but I think at first glance it looks too much like the Sovereign to have much of a chance.

I'll bet a lot of the submissions are going to have that problem. Me, I'd love for the new design to look something like a massive version of Spock's Jellyfish from Star Trek '09.
Ironically, we'll probably never see a truly canon version of the Enterprise-F, since we'll probably never see the prime universe any more. And...December 9th? That's only a few weeks from now. There's no way they're gonna get a well-though-out design in that time, unless people are just gonna send them old stuff, which kinda defeats the purpose of creating a new design.
I know that is depressing for me.
Just as depressing as the fact that nowadays some low-budget fan productions tell better stories than the multi-million canon projects (VOY, ENT, ST10&11, ...).I know that is depressing for me.
Dec 9 is plenty of time to get a few idea down on paper, before they give the full guidelines. I already have a couple sketched out. Unfortunately my ideas end up
sorta looking like Voyage from the side.

Yikes, that is so true
Well, that's when you can start submitting designs, but there's nothing there saying when the contest will end yet.
My bad. I thought that was when the contest ended. D'oh!

When they say "spceial (special) tool" do they mean something to upload files or something to create designs with... I mean, otherwise we'd need to have and know how to use 3D software which I'm sure most people don't have. Or I suppose draw something out in Illustrator or Paint, but unless you're really good I don't think it'd really stand a chance.
I wouldn't be too sure about that. Look at Rick Sternbach. The man achieves better results with a pen and paper than most people do with 3D software that costs several thousand dollars.^ Straight from http://www.startrekonline.com/enterprise

I might just take a run at this...
But that falls under the "really good" category. I'm looking at this from an average person's point of view.

You know I was going to enter until you said that.
I just hope "special" doesn't equate to 4th-grade-reading-level-age-appropriate-E-for-everyone-mamby-pamby-über-retardedness.

Well, that should be the irresistible challenge to you, as an artist, then - create something magnificent within the rules of the game...
