USS Icarus - 2269 Cloak test prototype

[Scifi_Shipyards]

This is the USS Icarus. It's a Starfleet research vessel from the year 2269 that features a top secret experimental cloaking device and shipwide AI called DAEDALUS.
It's featured in a new short story that I wrote, called 'Star Trek: Shadow of Icarus', available for free download here: Shadow of Icarus free download .

Is that the USS Sutherland's Bridge ancestor?

Yeah pretty much. Albeit with a transporter pad located at the rear.

The ship in your avatar looks like one of the future Enterprise's from the back of the TNG Technical Manual.

Love the design and mesh, wonderful cloaking animation as well.
Not a big fan of the transporter on the bridge, but that's personal preference.

I clicked on this fully expecting a picture of a blank starfield

I recognize the style of the artwork. Like the style.

Both the orthos and the bridge graphic (or at the very least elements of them) are AI generated, correct? I would rather people call this out when they are posting generated work, just to keep us all honest. Otherwise this is a pretty cool design.

Kind of. With the orthos, I provided the 3d model views of the ship then the AI put the retro weathered effect on it. I then had to reedit it myself to include the cloaking device image in the bottom right and correct the text. With the bridge, again to was a rough reedit I made using the Sutherland bridge as a starting point, then tidied up with AI. The ship model and renders are all my work without AI help.
