I'm designing a Star Trek style starship. It's intended to be sort of midway between Star Trek: Enterprise and the Kirk/Spock era series, but I'm not really concerned with making it consistent with any established spaceship design chronology. I'm more interested in coming up with a ship that looks interesting.

Here are some renders of my concept model; obviously, I have a way to go, but I wanted some feedback on the way the ship looks. I'm using Cinema 4D, version 9, to model this.

Thanks in advance,

Guy

I like the overall form I do think it coudl benefit from more details. Do soem more with the impulse engines and warp nacelles. that will get it looking better. Maybe cut a shuttle bay in in the rear.

Oh, absolutely! This is just the "rough draft". I'll start working on the details when I'm happy with the overall design.

I've come up with another variation that I like, as well.
