Nah those are for another project...also if you closely there is a Cardassian idea tossed in there too(just because it popped into my head at the time)
I haven't decided as to what Universe(if any, established or not) she's supposed to belong too...I'm just challenging the status quo again :)

I'm afraid that this is another one of your designs that I appreciate for the sake of creativity, but simply does not work for me.  :-[

Why overkill, it could be an unknown alien race's ship. No rule that says all ships have to be part of one of the big five's fleets.

You make it seem like im flaming Azel? and no i never said it had to be for the main 5 fleets, infact i could see a couple of teese been an early breen design.

i just think that the use of asymmetrical designs is starting to go a bit too far, where it causes the modeler too many problems because they wont be able to see how everything curves.

I apologize, I didn't mean it in that manner. I interpreted the post to mean this design would be overkill, reading it again I think that was a misinterpretation of what was written.

I see your point about the use of asymmetrical designs in general.

This is great stuff. Really outside the box Atolm. I think you should create a whole new race, possibly extra-galactic, complete with backstory, sketches of the race themselves, homeworlds etc. What the Andromedians should have been. Anyway I like designs 1,2,3,4 best with the aft hull/engine arrangement on 1 if that means anything

You don't want them to be re-creations of the andro's though, because I seriously doubt a machine race would develope the creativity nessecary to come up with designs like these. A mchine race would most likely build ships on the functionality and efficiency topics and not the artistic, like the borg. These would be great for a race that communicates in the abstract, like the tamarians, except instead of riddle they communicate in fractal or musical language, so naturaly they're ships would haev spiral and arc designs like the ones shown.

As I recall the idea of Andros as machines was a fan idea. We never learned what Andros were in the SFB canon. We DO know however, that their boarding parties are robotic, but that doesn't mean they aren't drones used by a lifeform.
