TOS/ENT Daedalus Class Cutaway W.I.P.

[Irishman]

I'd move engineering further closer to the bow of the secondary hull, because there's no good logic behind making your plasma conduits and such have such looooooong runs. You'd want that to be as short and have as few bends as possible.

Plus, having a deflector dish mounted on that secondary hull would be defeated by the forward globe hull. It will block it unless you cut a notch out of your globular hull, or lower the deflector dish to clear it, neither of which would be in keeping with established TOS OR even ENT asthetic.

That's why I like Karim Nassar's design better. It creates a piggback module on top of the secondary hull, with the connecting tube coming out of the piggyback and terminating in the base of the spheroid hull. This would allow more clearance for a secondary-hull-mounted dish, plus the engine room could move to the piggyback module along with the inboard terminus of the nacelle pylons.

That's just my take on it, of course.

If you want to make this drawing "Daedalus, Phase I", and keep it with the same config you're using now, then how about more than one dish mounted on the spheroid? You could have three or more "dishlets" that each take up much less space.

Great Work. Great Work.

^ lol, thanks, figured I needed to take up the added space somehow.

Unfortunately my internets being a little screwing so its gonna take a bit to upload anymore. I should have the final draft up by this weekend. Displaying the Daedalus in all her glory. I'm also planning on working on a Deck Chart, possibly; I've heard some talk about it and I think itd be a good idea.

Good cutaway ... And there robies !!!!

ancient said:
I guess the model seen on Sisko's desk 'in universe' was something Jake made for his 5th grade history report or something, so it need not be followed with slavish detail, imo.

I go more ... i think that is a "fantasy model" in his desktop, in the same way that i ahve in my desktop a small model of a Romulan Warbird and a model of the Stargazer.. In other words .. IT'S A TOY, NOT A REAL MODEL OF a REAL SHIP in ST Universe.

There other people, that get the sketchs of Jefferies, and made a much much better ship that these bugly and bad desing "toy" of Sisko's desktop.

For example :

Aethernaut Daedalus
(not is mine, but i like much more that Sisko toy)

Edit : I forgot to said that is established that the Federation was founded in 2161 ... the Coalition was a previous step and was before of 2161, so your "timeline" not are actually compatible which the actual canon.

Yes I'm a BAAAD Commodore for committing Heinous Crime of Thread Necromancy.
But was this fascinating project finished? And if so, where are the plans? Lots of good points discussed here!

Considering syc hasn't posted since 2010, and last logged in 2 years ago, I don't think you're going to get a response.

It would be a bummer if this project was abandoned.

That is not just dead; all images kicked their buckets! Thx photobuckets!
I guess i'll have to work out my own eventually!!

Well since people are posting in here, just thought I'd tell you guys that I'm doing Daedalus Class deckplans (top down views) in another thread currently

Ah! Thank you! I'll have to check those out!

Just came across this article. Your drawings are very nice, and add some light to the overall lack of information on this ship. To my mind it's always been the red-headed stepchild in the Star Trek ship universe. Ignored, underapreciated, and generally rejected from the cannons. I am glad you are working on a version.
Not to defame Matt Jeffries and his work, but I have always felt that the nacelle pylons where completely misplaced in their location on the neck. It's just to much of a stretch. The torque alone would so over-stress the structure and result in far greater probability of a loss of the ship. Though perhaps that's why some writers have speculated on why so many of these ships were lost. Although, in some of his depictions, he seems to have addressed this, and moved the pylons further back to the middle of the secondary hull. Great work, and best of luck in your future endeavours.

While we are on the subject of the Daedalus cutaway, I just wanted to share an image I threw together for a fan film (that I don't think went anywhere but hey ho).
Its part of a LCARS style back lit image from the days when I could produce them the way they did on the show.
Its quite basic but sharing is caring
