I heard that a few months back, Sean or someone else was doing a 3d mesh of the Titan, has it been done and if so where can i find it?
USS Titan 3D pic????

There is a 3D mesh of the Titan, but we have to wait until Pocket Books reveals it. And that should happen this weekend at the San Deigo Comic Convention. At least that is what I was told. Once Pocket gives us the ok
I will get my friend who created the mesh to provide some shots of her.
P.S. The ship in my avatar is the Titan.

I gathered, it looks fantastic.
I live in the UK so I've got to wait for the pics...but hey, there's all my trek reading to do.

I was not there. I was told it was, but Pocket has not posted it on their site as of yet. As soon as they do I will
try and get some other shots up.

Thanks, Ellory Connell (Masterjedi over at scifi-meshes.com) did a great job on the mesh and the Artist at Pocket did a great image incorportating the ship with the other cover graphics. I can't wait
until Marco posts it.

I can't wait to see the pic either.
his design being the winner, it being used for cover-art in the future and being the 'official' design of the USS Titan and a big grin at being the winner.
Being Published with design credits in the forth book and two years worth of Pocket Books Trek novels, and the possiblity of
future freelance assingments.
We have been over this, and it is your right to that opinion, but there are others that really like her.
Plus whoever said that every starship has to have the nacells pointing up. As I recall the original Jefferies schematics where design with the nacell pointing down, and where acidentlly viewed upside down and sign off. That is how the
Enterprise ended up in the configuration.

I believe that's the story behind the Miranda class. You may also be thinking of the story that says they made a small wood model of the Enterprise and hung it on a string to show Roddenberry and it fliped upside down and he liked it that way and it took a while to convice him to approve it in the correct configuration.
Edit: beaten to it
That happen on both designs. I remember seeing a story about the Enterprise upside down in one of my old Art of Trek Books. But that is also How the Reliant became the way it did. By the way the reliant was the main reason I
positioned the nacells that way in the first place. The reliant has alway been my favorite ship.

Actually, I like the general layout of the ship. I have only one problem with it... that being the arrangement of the impulse engines... and that's something that I've discussed ad-nauseum with Sean T. previously. (If the engines on the ship are newtonian in their functionality, the ship will simply fly in little circles at impulse! 
) I would have preferred more of a "classic" design aesthetic, but I think that the Luna class is actually pretty nice looking. I'm looking forward to seeing the render... and hopefully to a lot more (once S&S take off the "gag rule"... silliest thing I've heard of in ages!)

Tell me about it. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaag...... Cough Cough......Gag...
I'm not mad about the downward facing nacelles on this ship , but they do fulfil one of the obvious cardinal rules of routing warp plasma transfer conduits - that the conduits should be relatively straight, as the power requirement to constrain plasma obviously increase if you are trying to change its direction - the power to bend plasma around a corner would be much greater than to send it in a straightish line. The original and TMP Enterprises managed this, the Mirandas had a sharp curve and the Excelsior a completely stupid visible 90 degree bend and implied t-shaped split on the top of the secondary hull. The 1701-D was at least big enough that the curves could be gentle and it took two PTCs off the warp core so no t-junctions, but the worst offender of all was the NX-01, where the conduits go through about fifteen bends each before reaching the engines. Put the nacelles on a straight tube and the damn thing would have reached about warp 15 (old scale, of course
