Design the Next Enterprise

Thanks Adam 
No problem.
I think the takeaway here is that we should not drink and blog.
Or not.
Anyhoo, moving this thread back on topic...
Here's some renders of that rough as mesh I made of the E-F. I think the overall shape is reasonably accurate, right down to the stupid looking neck intersection. If I carry on with this, the first order of business for me will be to go off "canon" and streamline this whole area. A T joint neck just doesnt look right.
Anyhoo, onto the pics!
So here's my "adjusted" version with the streamlined neck. I hope Cryptic sees this, as I feel it not only makes sense from an aesthetic viewpoint but also a practical one "in universe" as it adds more interior volume to the ship and also structural integrity to the necks.
The mesh itself is pretty damned messy though so I don't think I'll be carrying on with this. I'm still not entirely sure how that saucer/neck line blends into the nacelle struts and how that in turn blends with the secondary hull, but oh well. I hope you guys dig what i've done.

Didn't one of Ihlecreation's original sketches have the impulse engines all up in the neck? I recall them being some pretty sexy-looking vertical installations. And there would actually be room for it now.

She's a real beauty Adam!

I added a little more polish after getting Andrew Probert's help. Mostly she's just smoother around the neck/strut area.

I wasn't sold on the potatoprise and still don't think that it was the best ship in the contest. The render, however, is nice.
I'd take that ship over the nu-prise and Voyager.
They worked it out.
Anyone know where the runners up can be seen? They're down from the STO site.
The site is gone. I think the only place you can see them now is a picture of the judges looking at a poster board. Let's see...
Found it:
Hard too see, and only some of them.
You can kind-of see them in the background of this page too:

*Edit
I just checked for cached versions of the site and found none. Cryptic presumably still has them on file, but hasn't indicated a willingness the fix the broken links on the winner announcement page
I wish I'd known they were going to take the site down. I'd have saved a bunch of them. There are at least a dozen I'd love to have another look at.

Hi all been a while. Over a year ago I was asked by Andrew Probert to keep working on my Enterprise design and finish it as I saw it.
Well here is a really quick sketch of where I see/saw it. Now I realize there are serious flaws to this but like I said this a sketch from which I will take and omit ideas.
