We need to know what the ship will look like. We've already had a few ideas. If you have any artistic skills or any ideas on what the ship should look like, please post them here.
ANYTHING is welcome.
This is open to everyone.

long, and the saucer should be an oval. The traditional configuration with engineering/ saucer. nacceles on the saucer...
Naccelles should be below the saucer and swept back. put them below everything on sraght pylons... none of those bening ones like the -D's, or the excelsior. Keep the pylons straght...

I thought we were going to use the pointy saucer shape and I don't think the shape of the pylons was ever discussed. Hence I did this just before your post.

The pointy saucer was not agreed on. At the moment, shapewise, nothing has been agreed on, so just submit anything.

Alright, that's what I have so far.
Tomorrow I shall draw something more Pudloic.

accually, I like that. not a perfectly round saucer, but thin, and blunted. I like that shape, and it looks fast.
If you want, you can draw more, but that looks good to me... a very clean design, with obvious influinces from starflet, yet it's distinct. Too bad the Titan design contest is over... that's a pretty ship.
However, more phaser strips would be nice for better coverage....
But that is a really pretty ship...

Okay, I tried to do what I could... From the side. From the front. From the other side. Different lighting... But I do really like Jared's ship. I just thought I'd put out there what I made...

I tried it with a rounded saucer but it really doesn't look right. I'll post what I did later if I can so that you can see; the nacelle pylons are less Galaxyish due to Pudlo's dislike of them.

Accually, they look pretty good on that ship I just don't like how they look on the Galaxy I guess... That ship wasn't very wel designed, IMHO. If I could redesign it, it would have had a very different saucer, and the naccles would have beenon struts tapered back and extending above the saucer... I guess the bend doesn't look tooo bad if done right.
What I'm getting at is that ship is really pretty, and don't let my earlyer post get in the way of it... I like that ship.

I'll leave it at that then.
Phaser banks and so on I didn't really think too much about. I just put those more obvious ones on and there's a torpedo launcher on the little pod above the bridge. Beyond that I assumed you'd have at least another launcher on the bottom of the saucer and under the rear large shuttle bay. Also you'd have phasers elsewhere (like under the saucer as well) but I didn't bother too much with arming it yet.
Deflector would be under the saucer somewhat like the Intrepid but wouldn't detach with the saucer. I suppose the pod with the torpedo launcher could in fact have the secondary one for the saucer but no launcher at the front.
Any microcustomisations then feel free to say.

It's a good try there and does look like something that could easily have come from TOS. Maybe with some refinement you could give the design to the ERA people to come up with a name for and use as an NPC ship if it's not taken as final design. If you want it drawn into the same style as my one then just say and I'd be happy to give it a go.

I prefer a rounded saucer personally.

The one on the curren t design is sort of rounded... it's blunted, but it's sleek and sharp at the same time. the phasers and such can be wored out later- I'll take your drawing and use paint or something to add a few where they would be located... and transporter emmitters... I'll do that soon. the black ar phaser srips, the yellow are transporter emmitters, the red are the impulse exausts, the blue is the aux. deflector, and the red and green dots are formation lights. Red are port, Green, starboard. also, I put a shuttlebay entrance on the pod on top- I don't know if we want to use that or not, but considering how large we're considering, I think an aux. shuttlebay on the saucer isn't a bad idea.

That design isn't bad. I think it would look better if it was slightly wider.

well, I can't draw it that well... Perhaps someone could put together a mesh that we can adjust?
But what do you think about hte Aux Shuttlebay? do we want that or not?

I think the specifics like that can wait. At the moment, we're just trying to design the overall shape so that we have something to work with.

then one question: do we like what we're seeing so far with the design? should we go in that direction?
I like it and think we should continue in that direction. we got a lot of ideas out during the brainstorming. this shouldn't be brainstorming II- this is the design thread... present designs, and ask, 'do we like that?'

I think the design looks ok, but I think we should have more than one design if people want to submit them.

So how about another annoucmet? 'last call for design entries for the flagship' or something like that. Because I would really like to see this get moving.

You have to give things like this time, Jeff. We'll keep this open for a while longer.

yeah, but a catchy annoucment that makes it seem like it's going to close soon will get the designs out quicker, if there are more to be considered. Just don't specify how soon 'soon is in the post.
And yes, I normally think like that. And no, Advertizing would be a boring job for me, even though I would probably be good at it.

Reman, do you think you could do a wider version of your earlier drawing?
