Here is the Jupiter. She sits somewhere around a Galaxy in size, no sep, but has moving nacelles. I might redo the nacelles, but here is how she looks for the moment.

Somehow I'm struck with the notion that this is what the Titan should have looked like...

It's got the right sovergin parts to indicate a new line of design (based on the sov), a nice round saucer (always liked those), and the nacelle construction tells of a new nacelle configuration. More!

Somehow I think the midship body line which is created by the pylons should extend in some capacity all the way to the bow. Those nacelles leave alot to be desired, I don't care what famous trek person thinks they're cool (I'm not naming him so don't ask...suckers

) I do love the round saucer, a perfectly or nearly so round suacer is a striking design feature that stands out on many designs.

I like that ship.

i taught it was a tos battleship, but this tng ship is good

i think the saucer should be 1/4 to 1/3 smaller compare to the rest of the ship, but beside that its a good ship

For some odd reason, when it comes to over sized hulls, I seem to prefer over sized saucers that are completely round, rather than oval ones.

I'm probably alone in my opinion *shrugs*

Starforce2 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 04, 2007, 05:00:20 pm »

nah, a small saucer would look silly anyways. And oval saucers would just make it a galaxy rip off, or a wannabe excalibur or sov.

Norsehound · « **Reply #6 on:** July 04, 2007, 07:34:47 pm »

hmm... A quick run through the Starship schematic database's canon section seems to show that perfectly round saucers were phased out for ellipses or imperfect circles (akira). the only exception seems to be the Ambassador class.

Starforce2 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 04, 2007, 11:07:12 pm »

Well, starfleets trend toward larger ships seems to have reversed too, as the sov despite being longer has considerably less internal volume and mass as compared to the galaxy, and ofcourse the intrepid, akira, defiant, saber and other such classes that have cropped up since then, so perhaps round saucers are making a comeback.

Well, my feds pretty much suck......thats the short and long of it. So, with some help from some freinds (they tend to be more traditional in thier designs) I made up the current designs I have up for show. This ship did have an even larger saucer originally, and it was perfectly round, but it was downsized a bit, inverse added on the top of the saucer, and scrunched just a nudge across its width. This created a more flowing design overall when linked with the hull.

NICE! NICE!

As for the nacelles, simply increase their forward length.

I was thinking about doing that......or maybe reducing the nacelles overall size, to give them a more "Intrepid" like proportion.

Fedman NCC-3758 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 07, 2007, 02:37:16 pm »

Just bring those babies forward, half way to the saucer section.

Perfecto.

Raven Night · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2007, 07:46:59 pm »

Ok, since im unsure which way you mean, ill post a pic of both possibilities.

Do you mean A or B? A has the nacelle fronts stretched to half of the distance between the edge of the nacelle struts and the saucer edge. B has the nacelles actually moved up to be the same distance. Let me know which one looks better to you guys.

Fedman NCC-3758 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2007, 07:49:10 pm »

A

Definately, A looks much better.

Don Karnage · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2007, 11:43:33 am »

A look bether on it
