Thread: Indulging my inner Trekkie | Forum: 3D Modeling
I added a horizontal central cylinder to house the navigational deflectors (fore) and the hangar (aft). 12 lights serve to guide approaching ships to the rectangular hangar door.
There are 3 single-mount phasers on the top of the "drum", and 3 more on the bottom. There are 2 more rear-mounted phasers above and below the hangar entrance, but that's just because I couldn't figure out a better placement at this time. Comments are welcome.
I don't have any photon torpedo launcers set up at this time, and I'm not sure where I want to place them. To port and starboard of the navigational deflector, maybe?
I wanted the impulse engines to look relatively antiquated (compared to the 1701), so I made them big and boxy, and gave them circular exhaust vents (as opposed to the standard square ones).
I played around with the nacelles a bit more, adding an illuminated cylinder for the blue "warp glow" effect. I know this wasn't a TOS feature, but heck, if the NX-01 has it, why not this ship, too?
Comments, as always, are appreciated.

I considered that, but a couple of things made me go with the current shape: 1) I'm still pretty new at this, and the straight pylons were easier than the slanted pylons. 2) I'm sort of using the Christopher Pike-era as a starting point and working backwards from there; my current thought is that this ship predates the NCC-1701 by a couple of decades, so the straight pylons make more sense.ย (Yeah, I know, the NX-01 and numerous fan-designed pre-TOS ships shoot a hole in that argument, but I'm following my muse here.)
When I have time to sit down and work on the pylons seriously, I'll try it out and see what I can do with the slanted pylons. Thanks for the suggestion!

I haven't had much time this week to work on it, but I should add some more refinements tonight, especially to the nacelles.

Oh, I'm not even trying for anything canonical; I really just want something interesting-looking. Thanks for the compliment!
