Design the Next Enterprise

[erifah]

I know I said I wouldn't post anymore Ent-F Teasers, but I figured i would show the other configuration that I had in mind.
I will more than likely complete both concepts. And depending on the rule to the contest enter them both, but for now
here is the other silhouette of the other design that I am working on.

The TOP view does NOTHING for me.

The SIDE view, on the other hand, gave me a woodie!

Thanks...I think.

Actually of the two I am working on I like this one the most.

Dac, try ending the nacelle pylon "shelf" at the back of the ship where the undercut begins on the secondary hull. It might look less tacked on from the rear view.

That makes the pylons look really tiny though. As it stands, that shelf serves as an area for the main shuttlebay.

Although I only see this ship being a fraction longer than the E-E at around 700m or so, it has a much larger interior volume. Considering in the STO timeline the federation is at war with the Klingons, Romulans and Borg I figured that the flagship should be tough, well armored with a lot of support craft and still be able to evacuate an entire colony if it needs to.

Thats why I hope to keep the pylons at their current level. It has the 'under-slung grace' of the Enterprise-D, but also a huge powerful main hull that can take a beating.

I'm wondering if I should work up a full schematic with references to major components/features. Hrm...

Here is a sample of the hull detailing I am working on.

Hey Sean, I don´t wanna to sound rude or disrespect you, but the "ears" (top view) makes her to look strange. Makes me remeber Dobby, from Harry Potter.
About the side view, I´m with the others: looks to much cool!

As a curiosity, early in 90´s, the brazilian magazine “Starlog” published the sketch that supposed to be the Enterprise-F. I don´t know who made the sketch, and if it´s fake or not. Already asked Doug Drexler and John Eaves about it, but they don´t know this sketch or his author. Anyway, it´s a cool design, at least for may taste. Pic attached.

Hmm, I like it as a ship, but for an enterprise it doesnt work.

An Enterprise has to maintain the traditional layout IMO, meaning the pylons link onto the secondary hull. That's the way its been for 7 of em, and so if you ask me thats the way it should be for all of em.

Reminds me a bit of the unused holoship that John Eaves designed for Insurrection:

Here's what I've come up with so far...

I like it all, except for the engines. That saucer is fantastic.

 

[Belisarius]

^^^
I'd lose the small protrusion at the front of the saucer's hull (especially on the dorsal surface). That would clean up her forward lines a lot.

Hahaha, oh well. I've already gone and "cleaned up" the front of the saucer, here's what i've done:

Hopefully this gives everyone a better view of the ship, from the aft view I kinda think it evokes the 1701-D, whereas the front looks like the 1701-E.

Like the Saucer Better, great work so far

The outline just looks like a Sovereign with the nacelle struts going the other way.

Which was the original concept.

That's already discussed and answered in the third comment from the top. Seems reading is considered overrated around these parts.

Fair enough, I fucked up.
