Description
I originally called this a Strike Cruiser, but the METHOD Boss thought it better fit as Patrol cruiser given it's background as a rapid-response ship. Sometime I'll have to sit down and make 3-way drawings for it. Of course, when it happens, it'll be up here.Made by the Wonderful Manufacturers Of Guns, Spaceships, and Spaceships with Guns (but not guns that shoot spaceships) at Alowe Lever.
Decided to correct a fallacy in the design, thanks Arioch O.o

Given the size of a 2-crew cruiser, these people must use Dyson spheres for one-person bathrooms.

That's just being ridiculous, y'know.
Do I point out that with less room for crew, it means more room for weapons?

Which, if your tech somehow manages not to be up to par, could lead to issues.
No to mention what the Stargate habit of teleporting a nuke past downed shields would do.
That's a lot of room to drop a nuke...

As far as I'm aware, the METHOD universe has nothing akin to a transporter. Kind of would like to stay that way if I have any say on what goes on in it, aside from strange advanced alien technology beyond the reach of most of the major players.
Bulk equals power... that's how I see things in METHOD. Greater size means greater capacity for channeling destructive power. Also means ship armor and defenses can take that damage.
Becomes an issue, though, when you apply those energies to things that aren't meant to take them. Like planets for example. Just makes the world all the more awesome in scope.

Looks like something the Naussicans would build.
Any chance of a colour up?

...The Naussicans? I thought the Naussicans were about spines, pointy things, and being unpleasant.
If anything it's a Mon calimari knockoff, after stealing technology from the Goldenbaum Dynasty (the radomes specifically).

Only going by the raiders they had in Enterprise.
First thing that came into my mind.

I didn't see much of Enterprise beyond season 4. All I have to go on when it comes to Naussicans is how they appeared in TNG. Seemed like wannabe klingons to me.

Not the first lot to be like that and doubt they will not be the last.
Look up "Fortunate's Son" to see the ship.

That's one seriously big patrol cruiser.
The detail on the top looks uncomfortably like a penis. It had to be said.
I love that NCC-1701 has now become the universal standard scale reference. I use it myself!

Er.... thanks for that observation Arioch. Now I'll have to change it
The Method universe likes to have their starships out of proportion with the crews that man them. Despite this ship at this size, it is piloted by about 1-2 persons plugged into a mind-machine interface. Other vessels are known to be larger and still have a small crew count. The maximum can go to about 4, but Dreamwalker (our director) would know more.
With this in mind, I decided to go with "impressive" over "practical" and it seems to work.
Your remark about 1701 reminds me of when I saw Space Battleship Yamato used as a scale reference next to the prototype SDF-1 Macross. The Enterprise is well known, so of course I'd be using it for scale
