Quick 2D mock-up of a TOS Era Vulcan/Starfleet science vessel

Nicely done

 

[Kaiser]

Looks good

Here's a low-res flyby

 

[FormerLurker]

How many tiers of shuttles are in that bay, by the way? And do they get them down before putting crews in them, or fly them from their parking spaces?

 

[Potemkin_Prod]

Very nice!

 

[Atolm]

That's looking rather brilliant!
Here was my Soval-class TMP vulcan starship:

The ship's shuttlebay is similar in size to the constitution class's so there is only one tier of shuttles

That's looking rather brilliant!

I really love that design!

Update: Added another deck to the primary hull and enlarged the bridge to fix scaling issues. I've also included a side by side comparison of the vessel and the Constitution Class of the same era.

I was trying to mix the ENT era Vulcan ships with the TOS Starfleet look as if the science vessel was a joint venture. Just to clarify, those are primarily used as probe launchers, not torpedo tubes. I plan on playing around with the design some more before making a 3D model of it. Comments and criticisms are always welcome.

I love this idea!

To make it more consistent with the design philosophies and sensibilities we saw in TOS, you could try making the torpedo launching pod more like a mail hull; more of a cigar shape but with the front-end more blunt. Kind of a teardrop effect.
