Should be fairly easy, its a Fed-DN with a Surya saucer instead of the normal saucer.

Should more or less just be a modification of the Mars or Federation meshes, just a saucer replacement.  :)

As much as the JJ prise has grown on me, I feel like it doesn't kitbash as easily - for better or for worse (and I think for better, actually)

I've seen a few successful kitbashes (Imo). Ones have been done for the FJ designs.

I think the Kelvin parts kitbash better though. The nature of their texture and geometry lends itself to cobble together designs. Still want to see what a pure constellation would look like made out of kelvin parts- every "example" i've seen of this modifies the design in some way.

So you don't know the Surya, here you can find some info for it: http://www.jh.kobarg.de/k7/timeline.php?q=fsc
its in the FSC-Volume 10, these pdf-books are trying to merge some events and timelines from canon -, FASA -, SFB - and fanon Trek
the info in those books is good even its not correct in all its aspects.

why does someone want this as a JJ design or even made from Kelvin parts those design lineages suck totally and the classic look of those TOS ships is ways better than that JJ sh**.

IIRC, this model has been made for SFC. I want to say it has an 'A' name and is in Bonk's SFB mod. I am about 90% sure of this.

By the way, Terradyhne, thanks for providing that link to those timeline journals. That's good stuff.  8)

To see something diffrent i would say. Most of Trek is old and boring sorry to say. One can mock up a tos ship so many ways. Mix eras alrighy thats what JJ did for look and also JJ had no clue about Trek and the fan base but so be it done is done and canon now .

The Kelvan linage looks cobbled-together and industrial without seeming too primitive or that it'll fall apart. A perfect pre-TOS analog since much of the trappings of TOS can be found in the Kelvin-era equipment and design (or were you not paying attention??)

The New Enterprise design is an interesting blend of TOS, TMP, and 1960s future space-pop. I'd like to see where it goes, I'm intrigued.

Both of them are miles better than the aquatic bath-toy spaceships we've seen since TNG.

Maybe I should comment on the topic too...

I usually shudder at kitbashes. One could browse through the list at starship schematic and see literally hundreds of bashed together hot-rod starships that mix and match so many parts in order to look cool. An awkward example would be flipping out a connie saucer for the Miranda one, as well as adding rollbars and super phaser mounts and maybe another nacelle or two. Much too overdone.

Somehow I don't feel that way with this one. Maybe it's because the redesign was limited to just the rear of the saucer. My concerns now would be if it fits the profile of a DNH- specifically in the extra shuttle bays.

No, you don't have to do that Bernard.. I've been trying to be strong, but I've caved and I'm going to kitbash it.  ;)

Dug out the meshes last night.. ;)

edit for pictures to show basic mesh and such before I redo the textures.. and just had to rename a texture and reassign that material and we're gold..
