    Ok so enough of the TOS era, I now wanted to create a super-modernised version of the Enterprise shape... essentially a late-24th century explorer.

    Keen-eyed readers will see that the deflector is based on one of Eaves' early 1701-E designs. The ship is also equipped with a photon cannon, based on an idea for the Phase II Enterprise.

    Shoots, that would make an awesome Enterprise-G or similar...

    I've altered main engineering a bit just now... to make it more accurately like Eaves' giant engineering complex.

    Font question: Bolt? What's wrong with Millennium?

    I used Bolsterbold and Good Times, not Bolt, but to answer your question, I didn't know about Millennium. I also don't know where to get it.

    Slight update, mostly to the warp nacelles.
    (the original files will disappear in time, so I'm just updating them.)

    Ok another update today. I removed the "phaser cannon" which didn't really fit on a dedicated explorer. The cutaway has been improved with more detail, same with the components view. I changed the colour of the impulse engines and ramscoops, and adjusted a few other things.

    Some have expressed the desire to compare the latest versions of my work with previous ones. Because of the way Deviantart works I don't normally do it, but for this one at least I have a Tweet that contains the previous version here:

    The Tweet seems to indicate that I also had another Tweet with the original version from May 2020 but I probably deleted it back in December. Twitter is, however, not great as far as searching goes.
