USS Enterprise F, G, H, I.

[The Axeman]

Does nothing for me, I'd rather they ditch the saucer entirely if it's such a radical design change. However I agree with your comments about the needless increase in size. The size of the ship should be related to the task, it's not an organic thing growing larger with age.

I am trying to design ship based on the USS Pasteur but with a more traditional saucer section instead of the big globe.

Might look somewhat like this, the USS Korolev as imagined by Reverend. We started making the ship but fell by the wayside when real life got the better of my modeling fetish. I should really get around to finishing this thing.

To get this back on topic...

I always felt that this unused concept by John Eaves for the 1701-E would have made a GREAT 1701-F.

While I love Eaves's designs, I'm not sure that more and more streamlining makes for the correct design path. The one seen in Enterprise would have been a javelin shape by then, and not the wide flat design we saw.

When I first saw the Ent-D I was shocked and a bit annoyed, but it soon grew on me and you cant deny that it's not only much more advanced, but also shares basic design elements with its ancestors. I'd like to see just such a radical departure again.

When you see them fat like the D is...they're never designed for speed. The may have better tech but Like the Sovereign they aren't considerably faster.

While I admit that's a cool design, it pretty much looks just like the Enterprise-E. Why design a brand-new Enterprise that looks the same as the old one? The Enterprise-F should look as different from the E as the E looked from the D.

If you want a radical departure from the norm, why don't we just base the Enterprise-F's design on Spock's jellyfish from ST '09? That ship came from 2387, and it's obviously part of a new design aesthetic (not to mention propulsion) for the Federation. Why wouldn't new Starfleet vessels adopt this design as well?

The Jellyfish was a small ship specifically designed to be fast as hell, I dont know if we can compare that with a major starship. What works for a speedboat is not necessarily the right choice for a battleship.

The Jellyfish was also designed and built by the Vulcan science academy and not Starfleet so there's no reason why any Starfleet design would go the same route as the Jellyfish.

Well, I did a F version. Nobody liked it, but it had a new technology behind it. Also the electronics patterns wasn't very popular, but this is a symbolism very human in nature.

Would be interesting to redo this ship in 3DS max eventually.

I quite like it, keeps to the usual saucer design but is pretty unique on everything else especially the deflector. Top marks!

I don't know. I put this ship movie on Youtube and I got seriously bashed. To the point of...I am not permitting any comments or review when I post there . I think there is something there with the design, the texture and all...but I am still badder by it. I think it's my perfectionist side that's making me crazy...

Ok well I went over my old Enterprise-F Design and decided to give it some improvement.

Not sure whether to call this my Enterprise-F or my Enterprise-H.

I'm also not sure whether the above design is best or this design with a slight difference.

The Quantum Sensor array is deployable and retractable during battle.

There are two warp nacelles in the underside as well as the top side.

I was in two minds about the locations of the command module as opposed to the quarters module. I was either going to have the crew module at the front allowing for separation during major military engagement or emergency or have the crew module centralised allowing for an equal deployment of crew to their duty stations when their shifts commenced.

Move the nacelle pylons a lot closers to the front, and that's more or less what I'm thinking.

Reminds me of the Korolev class

Reminds me of the ships in Babylon 5

You did some animations? I cant find this, is it still there? What's your Youtube name?

I dont mind the shape of your ship, it's a pretty logical extension of nacelle development and previous ship configurations. The electronics type thing might work well on a smaller ship, but on a big ship I'd rather see more modeled detail and more subtle textures.

I think it's about time we see a Vertical starship in Trek. You know, like the mothership in the Homeworld games.

How about something like the one in this thread?

Make the saucer itself vertical as well, and we'll talk.

Assuming it even has to have a saucer, which is by no means guaranteed. Indeed, a Vertical ship would probably have no saucer as we understand it. It will probably be just one big hull. Like the Homeworld mothership I mentioned.

since it will be the Enterprise F i assume it would then look more like Sovergien class than Galaxy

Dammit, I finally drew a ship that I like, but now I can't get my scanner to work. Boooooooo!

It's not on Youtube anymore. I am uploading it right now. My Youtube name is Dubeau2007 .

Someone on another forum ask me about the singularity engine:
"It's a singularity drive + warp drive. It use a force field to open a redundant wormhole in front of the ship, the wormhole last 1-2 seconds...just enough to generate a space distortion and gravitational pull, then the Singularity engine redo the same operation over and over. It's like riding on successive waves of wormhole entrance, since generating a stable wormhole isn't an option. The warp drive is still there to stabilize the ship direction and movements.

I imagine that after an episode about who wanted to buy a wormhole in STNG, and also the slipstream engine. IN theory a Singularity engine can go at 15 Warp, but only for 0.5 second. Stable and structural speed is achieve at 10Warp."

Would be interesting to do the special effect for that...

i just saw your video its a good ship you have there
