Description So I've decided to try out a new design aesthetic with some TOS/TMP ships. I originally received a request to do a Phase II Belknap and then that spiraled out of control and resulted in this design.

The hull uses a modified TOS color pallette that leans more toward white/gray with a bit of light beige for accents. The impulse engines are from DIS, the warp engines are of my own design (they have a blue grille on the interior), and the deflector utilized both an inset bronze dish and a blue back-lit portion behind it (like in ENT).  The torpedo launcher system is a thru-deck so that the forward and aft launchers can share a single torpedo magazine and the internal layout of the ship uses a more TOS arrangement than TMP, with a horizontal warp core and no giant internal cargo bay connected to the shuttle bay (there is still a cargo bay, it's just not as big). Also, the saucer has no negative space (the hull doesn't curve up into the saucer and is instead flat to the rim on the bottom like saucers in DIS and the KT movies.

Thank you.

I always liked the Belknap layout, and now I've been able to customize it to my own liking.

I'm the the guy who asked for the Phase-II Belknap and then encouraged this
