Hi there. Some folks and I have been working on "STar Trek: Discovery," a fan film series set 18 years after the events of "Star Trek (2009)" in the Abramsverse. The series will be set on the USS Discovery: NCC-1998, an Enterprise-class (Constitution-class refit). We need someone to design the ship for us.

Required:
Stay true to the design of the refit but with a more JJ Abrams / Ryan Church feel to it (similar saucer, integrated deflector, etc.)
I'd like more phaser batteries on this one than on the "prime" refit.

I'll have to see what you folks come up with in order to judge.

You must have the orthographic views: dorsal, ventral, side, fore, and aft.

NOTE: "Star Trek: Discovery" is only the working title of this fanfilm series. It'll be changed to "Star Trek: (new something)." Haven't figured out that far ahead yet.

Or we can direct you to the 9th Fleet RP section with the USS Discovery NCC - 26850, Ambassador class. One of the members is even writing a book on the first mission and has made a lot of progress and has contacted Pocket Books and is expecting a response in 3-5 business days. Not meaning to steal your thunder but thats also called "Star Trek: Discovery".

I'll have to see it. As with the title itself, we can always change it to something else, should those folks get irked.

He's refering to designing a JJ refit, not the canon refit.

OK - I'll change the name of it to something else. But the ship's name and the design thing still goes. Now let's get back on topic!

Here's a ship design I have been working on. You're welcome to use it. If you have MSN Messenger or WLM, add me, rynwdhs@live.com.

I plan on making refined orthos to go with the latest stage of the design, the last pic.
1st is front view of v1.
2nd is top view of v1.
3rd is side view of v2, which is a reproportioned v1, closer to the JJPrise.
4th is side view of v3, which is v2 with more TMPRefit-ish nacelles.

I've seen that design before, FarShot. It's a clever design and might work for something else (perhaps an Abram's verse Ambassador), but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

Johnnymuffintop · « **Reply #10 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:55:32 PM »

I like your design FarShot, but I don't really see it as an evolution of the Church Enterprise. You design seems to aggressive, sharp lines, etc.

Doesn't mean I don't want to see that ship in BC though.

FarShot · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2009, 04:59:07 PM »

Well, I can always shoot for v4.

That could work

ACES_HIGH · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:58:55 PM »

awesome renders of the Phase II ent, where's that from?

Nebula · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2009, 06:16:30 PM »

heh those are okay renders but I like what they did with this painting of it....

but I think were taking over his thread now... so... I think this is all that's needed.

Rusty0918 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2009, 07:17:02 PM »

Yeah let's go with the blue buzzards.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2009, 07:20:54 PM »

Whoa, Rusty. long time no see man.

Johnnymuffintop · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2009, 09:00:38 PM »

Alright, I've been throwing concepts for a JJ refit, gone through a couple variations.
Thoughts?

I've got some new sketches I need to upload sooner or later.
