Description
Just a colour version to give you a better idea of what I had in mind.I have passed on the usual warp grill in favour of a Defiant type nacelle with the grill facing the rear of the ship.
Incorporated a large sensor pallet on the top and bottom of the saucer (in yellow) which just happens to be the shape of the
Star Trek logo!
Two main shuttlebays. One in the Saucer and the other in the underside of the secondary hull.
The main bridge stays connected to the star drive section when separated. The Saucer bridge is located behind the saucer deflector.
The new Evac Ring houses ejectable pods for emergencies and for deploying supplies to outer colonies (star strek insignia runs on top of them)

I'd love to see this design in a 3d render. Y'know...different profiles,etc.

That's very clever with the Starfleet Delta symbol on the ship any chance this is the Enterprise G H or I

Hey how do you feel if they had some sort of painted symbols on them like in Star Wars how some of them have red painted marks how do you feel if Starfleet vessels had that I remember when the Akira was designed on paper it had like some blue paint along it's Hull so what do you think should some of the Federation Starships have some sort of paint on them instead of just being all gray and Metal

Nice Design but your perspective is a bit off (sorry).Β Try modeling this and drawing over that model for your next go-round.

Thanks for the comments.....yes the saucer is pointing downwards a bit and the nacelles are off.
Just a quickies to get the design out of my head onto paper. Β Always great to get feedback from such a renowned artist like yourself.
Thanks!

This design might actually demonstrate the best understanding of the point behind the Starfleet design style I've ever seen.
It's benevolent, lithe, streamlined, smooth and feels like it's in motion even though it's alone on the page up there!
Nice work, Don!

Thanks for the comments. Yeah the Nacelle struts are tricky but since they are based on the Enterprise D design I think they will do the job

I like everything but the nacelle connections.
Unfortunately I don't have a slightest clue how to do them better as well.

I rly like the way they are designed and connected.
My theory would be with structural integretiy and some sort of a heavy strut running inside it will keep it in place

i think its because they look wooblie and reminiscent of a whales tail. but you know im not Gene Roddenberry.
