Trek Ship (Mk. II)

Posted about this a few months ago when I started work on it, well... pretty much finished now aside from some minor details and just wondered what people think of it in this form. Do you hink it conveys the right lineage while looking new or is it too normal and boring or whatever?

It's supposed to be a brand new ship as of around the year 2400, descending in design from the Prometheus/Intrepid and Sovereign class styles.

As well as the external views below, I made this 'LCARS2' MSD style display for it too, which you can see here. That new look LCARS is inspired by Mike Okuda's new designs for Star Trek: Online, just gives a basic idea of the deck distribution inside the ship. I guess this would be considered something in the middle of the Nova/Intrepid classes, a pretty standard all rounder.

At the moment, I'm playing around with 3DS and trying to render this to some extent in 3D so I can set it in a scene. I'm no the worlds best 3D Modelor but I think it might turn out nicely.

I'm now drawing up some concepts for another ship, thinking of doing an alien ship of my own, perhaps a Klingon or Romulan warship, something big. I want to try and create something powerful, without it being wanky... any ideas?

It looks a lot like the USS Titan. Very Starfleet-ish.

Is that supposed to be the relative size of a galaxy? If so, your scale is really off.

Other than that, it looks really good. I've always liked the look of the recent trek designs.

Hmm, personally I feel it is right on. If you were to overlay an Intrepid MSD with my MSD, and match the deck heights up, you would see that the scale of my ship matches the Intrepid as shown in the silhouettes, and the Intrepid silhouette is to scale with the Galaxy silhouettes since those images came from the Titan contest guidelines for size... what makes you say the scale is 'reallly off'?

You can drag and drop ships next to each other.
