TOS Dreadnought USS Victory

[calamity_si]

I've just finished the first render of the bridge for the USS Victory! It retains the classic features of the orignal Enterprise bridge but it is much bigger, has more duty stations and a different helm console. The colour scheme is also darker, to give a more militaristic feel and the bridge's turbolift is located directly behind the Captain's chair.

and the bridge's turbolift is located directly behind the Captain's chair.

That's the best part of this design, in my opinion.

 

[Wingsley]

Are those twin transporter control consoles built-into the Bridge's railing?

Ok, I really dig this design, but...

Is it me, or is the middle nacelle swept forwards in the ortho, and backwards in the rest of the images?

 

[137th Gebirg]

You're right! Didn't notice that until you pointed it out, but that's exactly what it looks like...

You're absolutely right!
The middle pylon was originally swept backwards but when I was creating the orthos, I realised that having a forward sweeping neck section and a backward sweeping pylon just looked a bit odd, so I turned the pylon around. Now, the neck and pylon both lean in the same direction, which gives a better symmetry to the design...in my opinion.

Absolutely right! Although I doubt both would be used for transportation. I'm sure one of them would be a tactical station or something. ..

 

[Sgt_G]

I figured them for tactical stations or what not, but never considered transporters as there's no pads anywhere in sight.

By the way, what program did you use to draft the ship in?

Just say it's movable, for variable warp geometry purposes

I've always loved the 3 nacelle design, and yours is a beauty for sure. More than "ample" nacelles.

I honestly think it works both ways.

Awesome Spockboy! So glad that you have seen this ship as it was entirely your Sepia Trek video that inspired me to build it...so really this dreadnought is totally your fault! lol

Thanks very much.
You just made my day.

Since you may be doing work on other Federation dreadnaughts, the Japanese art of Sangaku may interest you.

The front of a dreadnaught secondary hull is a study in fitting circles and other elements in a larger polygon. (Two small dishes straddling a large deflector dish.

Great art as usual. I seem to remember talk about a late 1960's TOS Trek movie--well--I can see this fitting right in.

Inspired shuttlebay.

No plans to do a refit era version with an octagonal hull, like here?
