Why is the saucer section so flat. It makes the windows on the bottom look silly, since you would be standing on the windows because they would be the floor of your quarters not an actual window. And I agree with Trent about the ship on a whole.
U.S.S. TITAN -- THE WINNER!

Think of the multi species aspect of her crew. Not every one uses gravity
in the same way as human species would. So the windows on the floor
doesn't mean that those are actually the floor of the cabin if you are in a
liquid or zero-g environment.

^^Not to mention in space up/down is relative. The gravity could be such that it isn't the way we're viewing it. "Up" could be the "front" of the ship in those areas instead of what we are calling the "top" of the ship.
Only a very tiny percentage where like that. Also it does not make sense for the class of ships to all be like that since only the Titan has such a diverse crew. It would be better if there was more curve to the saucer.
Endymion, there is absolutely no need for that kind of snarky response. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, including yourself but not in that crude way.
Everybody deserves his/her opinion.
This is the way I designed her.
And I guess the judges: Paula Block, Margaret Clark, Doug Drexler, Jennifer Heddle, Elisa Kassin, Michael Okuda, David Rossi, Edward Schlesinger, Scott Shannon, Rick Sternbach, and John Van Citters seemed to like her as well.
I am well aware that I will never win everyone over, but
I am getting more and more people on board with her.
Little Victories!!!
I am glad that she has caused such lively discussions. that is exactly what these boards are for.

Pfft. What do they know? What are their qualifications?
I didn't like the Titan design when first revealed, but I've grown to love it, after seeing it rendered in 3-D.
I just don't think that it makes sense. Other than that it is not bad at all.
Cool lookin ship
True, but it is the only one. It does not really makes sense that to design an entire ship class around one crew. The Luna class will serve "normal" Starfleet crews too and so it would make more sense to build for the masses. That was why I thought that it was strange that the saucer was so flat.
Where did you get the idea that the diverse crew was unique to Titan? As I indicated on p. 10 of Orion's Hounds, the policy has been instituted on all twelve Luna-class ships.
Still, I don't see why it requires exotically alien crews or weird gravity layouts to have windows on the underside of a hull. I mean, ever heard of a glass-bottom boat? I would think that looking down at the stars -- something impossible on a planet surface -- is something that would be appealing to many space travelers, regardless of species.
The Enterprise-D also had windows that were facing down exact same way. Here look: Ent-D picture
