It looks as though it would put all the complaints about the newest Enterprise's size to shame... huge.Nogura-class, naturally.

You kid, but actually for her to look like she's carrying a small mountain on her back was exactly what I was going for. Most of the lower half or so is filled with fairly standard compartments - quarters, labs, holodecks, cargo bays, transporter rooms, etc. One huge room in the very heart of the bottom of the lower area has its own independent shields and redundant power - this is the holocore, where the computers that maintain certain software, like holographic crewpeople (including the ship's computer personality) and their families, friends, and homeworlds (I can explain this further if you would like), reside. The upper half is industrial replicators, storage, and bays for the various ships carried by the Nogura-class, including her fighter wings, and pilot quarters. That more solid, gray area toward the front of it is the bay for the flight deck.What is that thing in the middle, between the nacelles and the saucer? Looks like the Prudential rock.![]()
Yes, but since she is intended as a mobile base and flagship class from the mid-26th century, that isn't quite as apples-to-apples as comparing the two Constitution classes, is it?It looks as though it would put all the complaints about the newest Enterprise's size to shame... huge.
They act as mobile repair bases, mobile starbases, and in "presence projection" roles. Starfleet of the mid-26th-century is a much more... aggressive... organization than it was in the past. Plus, between the alliance with the Voth, and the use of the Dyson Shipyards, they have the resources to spare a-plenty.That would make it almost as big as Spacedock. Why on earth would they build a ship that big?

Oh, and they wouldn't build it "on earth" - Iowa or otherwise.![]()
It is from unposted and mostly unwritten serious fan fiction. I've got a writer's bible including character bios, race bios, ship schematics, a chronology, new tech details and specifics, a bunch of story ideas - and one chapter written that I would never want to post unless I was certain I was ready to post follow-ups not long after. I wish I had more time to work on it, but I only get an opportunity to really get into it a few times a year. And usually my ideas have evolved by the next time, so I end up spending time revising what I already have.From the novelizations or one of the serious fan fic storyline?
I have two favorite ships in all of Trek:
The USS Enterprise from ST09 is my favorite muscle-car ship.
