I don't know which one

[jaspertjie]

Hi folks I'm busy on my new ship the Holland Class and I have five nacelles which I like to choose from but the problem is I CANT CHOOSE!
So please say which you find best fitting with the ship. Or if you have one yourself you want to give...

The "saucer" (if it can even be called that considering the shape) looks very Voyager/Intrepid-esque, so assuming you're going to have a similar engine layout, go with Stockholm or Confidence. Todano could work but it looks really thin. The last two would only work if you have the nacelles on upswept pylons like the Ent-E/Sovereign.

 

[jaspertjie]

No I was thinking about upswept pylons.

I think considering the angular shape and size you have going on, I think that the Inverness would look good but scaled to the ship.

 

[O'Dib]

Why don't you put up some test shots with each type?

 

[Ziz]

If you're doing upswept pylons, then yeah, Inverness or Unity, but as enan said, if you use Inverness, re-scale them down a bit. They're too big for the ship as is.

I'm afraid that the shape of the vessel is highly unbalanced; it has a feeling of tipping over. Even if the secondary hull was a nacelle instead it would still look unbalanced. Balancing out shapes helps a lot when creating a ship (or any other object, for that matter).

I'm going to point you to Bernd's Starship Design Guidellines (linky!) so that you can atleast have a starting point.

Looks good so far

I'd go for a slightly smaller Inverness class my self

 

[Wingsley]

Unity.

Your ship looks kinda neat. Looking forward to seeing more.

 

[jaspertjie]

Thanks for your replies,I will go for the Unity class. the front of the vessel will be softened.
