DKealty, collective alliance are both good options for that.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

Hmm. The only War Eagle I know if is a CA. (i'm just going with the name "eagle" for it). There is the Vulture, which has the same basic layout as the eagle and is a DN.

This is the War Eagle I was talking about, but I see your ships have a quite different style, so nevermind. I still love your Gladius.

Yeah, I'm not big on that particular design, and you are right, it wouldn't fit into my fleet.

Btw: I added a few details just to break up the monotony of the model just a bit. I'm open to ideas.

Well, the texture will liven things up quite a lot. The only suggestion I'd make for the model would be to have the wings a bit further forward, perhaps curving upward.
As for what little thing I would really like to see, a warp grill on either side of the tail fin on the top, kinda like the D'deridex class.
Since all I have in MS Paint and my hand to sketch with, if you gimme a good top view I can sketch what I mean.

Wow - this thing's been on the back burner for too long...

My version of Pre-TOS ships - its a merging of Atolm's style Terran fleet and the Kelvin. I would like to do something different with the catamarans, but I can't think of what.

Really digging that pre-tos ship. I've always been a fan of the NX-Akiraprise, moreso than even the Akira itself.
I'd say, if you wanna make it your own, try forward swept nacelle struts. Duel shuttles bays could be interesting...
Maybe put some escape pods on the catamarans, or something like here: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/705/these.png

And if you gimme a ortho top view of the Romulan ship, I could give you a couple variations for ideas, although I can't promise they wont have a slight JJ flare.

Yeah, im looking into putting more of a kelvin-esque feel into the catamarans without bringing it entirely into the JJ-verse.

I also pulled the front of the catamaran fronts back so they line up with the start of the bridge dome.

maybe - but I think just greebles will go there - phase cannons there would hinder their firing arcs... Missiles launchers? maybe.

I rounded out the catamarans - I now think they work much better, now.

You could pull the cats to the bottom of the saucer, but she looks sweet.

I'd use the openings for torpedo tubes. But it looks great regardless. I assume you are designing out the pod that belongs in the rear pylon?

I'm not sure. I can't think of anything that *could* go well there except an NX-like pod and I DON'T want that. This ship is NX enough.

I am open to suggestions.

Maybe try something like the oval above the impulse engine on the JJprise? Perhaps a bulky, rear facing torpedo launcher?

I'm chewing on it.

But in the meantime - if Abrams can do it - so can I :-D

good idea, maybe shape the pylons of the lover nacelle to a V ?

Now why would you go and give it that?

You should get rid of that. It doesn't look great with it.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

The center strut is already a "V" shape.

I don't think that the third nacelle will stay - not on this guy.
