Someone needs to model this concept?it's glorious. Did I mention someone needs to model this ship?

*raises an eyebrow*  It's an interesting and unique design.  Looks like a cross between a Galaxy and something out of Star Wars.  It could work.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

I still think the only practical Starships that could be used as a "Presidential ship" (other than whatever ship he boards in) would be a Galaxy-class starship or similar-to but not really one, like maybe an Intrepid or Cheyenne class if something smaller is needed and not a Galaxy or Nebula-class (one modified for luxury).  But I believe a Galaxy-class is better than a Sovereign or a ship in Q's alterbate reality such as the Olympic.  A Galaxy-class is most symbolic for a Federation President's needs from the 2360s to whenever it retires.

However, that design is nice for a 25th-century Federation Starship based on the Galaxy-class.

I like it a lot as a 25th Century Galaxy, but is it just me or does the fin look a little out of place?  Maybe the presidential version can have a fin and a standard Starfleet version doesn't?

I like it - Trek ships IMO never took advantage of the z-axis, and this makes good use of it while still looking like it belongs in the trek universe.

Let me see:

- Nemesis Spacedock nearly finished.
- NX05 to do.
- Sentinel class to do.
- Danube runabout (without torpedo pod) to do.

and I got to add this design to my list of to do's. Excellent work Azel. Probabyl one of the unique designs I've ever seen anyway.

I was just looking at some screenshots I took in game of the Enterprise G, and noticed a few similarities between the Ent-G and this submission for a Presidential ship.  Just thought I'd mention it.

i think that the upper thing that you have on the saucer is spoused to be reversed th saucer is spoused to have an inward curve like the voyager did but a tad bigger

BTW  it is very good considering its your first time modeling

thanks for the ideas Core ill take those into consideration as i refine the model. I have alot to do still and alot more to learn but all in all i think I am getting the hang of things. i am not to happy with the main hull the shape just isnt right. Altho with a little tweeking i think i have the nacells(sp.) spot on.

Not sure as to how to find out the current poly count. Im working with MAX 4.2. As for the Saucer i have the same feeling so im also redoing that entire piece with improved geometry. my biggest challenge is the hull i have yet to come up with something that i am satisfied with.

after reworking the hull and saucer section the poly count comes to about 5300 polygons if i optimize the saucer i can get it down to about 3800 polys not to bat if i say so myself :) i will have new pics of all the reworked ship probably tomorrow as i do not have internet at home and have to post them from work.

Awesome attempt on your first ship sir,major props to ya.Seeing your rendition of the ship IMHO makes it look like a Gal/Olympic Hybrid.Keep the shape but fatten up the keel so it's more of an elongated secondary hull. With all due respect to Azel and the design ,Keels are about as useful in space as a canvas sail or a set of oars.And beside if it's thicker it can hold more "stuff".Just my .$02  ;) I look forward to seeing the finished ship.

lol...the keel is wide mate....and nor does any other shape in the hull have anything to do with space dynamics(unless there is something to warp dynamics)...but it is Wide enough....if you want when this ship is done(as is) we can make a MP variant :)
