Getting annoyed, stuck, bored and being driven mad with finishing off the Sun Tsu class MSD for DJ, i decided to give myself a break and cook up something different so may i present my lates pet project:

The Conjectural MSD of the all new Enterprise!

Also attatched is a picture of how i worked out the deck size, and if i'm right in that, then this girl weighs in at an impressive 33 decks!

I've already begun to hollow out areas for the bigger components like the hanger and the deflector

so with out further adue, enjoy

cool man. i like the color scheme.

Darran · « **Reply #2 on:** July 29, 2009, 07:10:58 PM »

it's actually alot darker in illustrator, cause it uses a lot of trasparencies, i havnt set the flattening settings right yet so when i convert to jpeg it uses the swatch colour as is

Looks outstanding as all of your MSDs, there's one idea I have... remeber that scene of that huge engineering room with water pump etc. it was at least three decks in height and I bet it was in the centre of the secondary hull ;)

I think it was closer to the top near the neck... *where the cores launched*

Lookin' awesome, I like red alert version, how about reimagining Red Alert logo and putting it into background ;)
Also I wonder if this Connie had similiar Intermix chamber and conduit connected to impulse drive and nacelles through pylons.

I know. Fugly, right?

I disagree. Warp Engines are supposedly among the most powerful subsystem on the ships. The miniature nacelles (Nova, Intrepid etc) all look really tiny and not at all powerful. My favorite nacelles being the Ambassador and Galaxy Class nacelles. Overall, the design of the JJEnterprise isn't too bad. Different yes, but it's got it's own style. However, I am still no fan of the bridge

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 02, 2009, 01:08:01 AM »

to me its like sticking a vulcan cannon on an rc car... wait.... weve done that already

My sentiments exactly. Although, my favorite nacelles are the Sovereign's... and the NX ones, sure they're small, but the design is nifty.

Updates are sparse, but my accuracy to the source is getting better

So did the TOS, TMP, Ent-B, and Ent-E nacelles, they all were larger than the saucer section. So what? And technically, the nacelles are the same size proportionally, it's the add-ons at the front that mislead.

Nice MSD, though I wish the pics were a little bigger.
