Nah, that's a bubble turret. Wow, so the Scorpion fighter was originally going to be bigger?

yeah, according to Eaves, they had to cut the wings off so it would believably fit in the Scimitar's corridors

I dunno, I seem to recall a rather portly concept design for the holoship in Insurrection that defied any name but U.S.S. Guppy.

Do you mean this little guy? I rather like this one lol. John Eaves refers to it as the "Pufferfish" lol.

You know, looking through all of John Eaves' photos and sketches, It would be really easy to dedicate a thread to him and see who would like to make some of his ships that never make it to a screen. He has some pretty sweet concepts for some Enterprise Era designs that never made it.

umm that not a bubble ship... that's just a close up of the little turrets at the rear of the two ship sketches.

take a close look at the rear of them both.

EDIT: whoa lots o posts.

I still think he drew it as a separate ship. I think he was experimenting and said "what if I just take that bubble and work with that?"
Reason I say that is because those two things up front. They look like seats to me. If they were handles, then the scale would look like this if not smaller:

I attached my interpretation of people inside.

yeah well all I see are two joystick handles where you drew those two stick figures.

Wow CG I can't believe how this baby Is coming along, the addition of those nacelle details are extraordinary. I don't think I would go as far as USS Sovereign and start playing BC again XD, but I would definitely do a lot more rendering than I have since this year started. And the way you speak on here Is like you're giving lessons In modeling and I think It's awesome LOL, I would totally love to see that high-res 3.0 model released just to render with It. Please keep up this outstanding work *gives cookie* and I can't wait to see this ship on BCFiles as file of the week, because we all know that week will turn into a month and that month will turn into months and so on.

And good to see you back on here, It's been too long.

Ok, changed the topic title to reflect the fact that this isn't just about the Sov anymore.

Had some fun with my new design, and I'm liking where it's going.

oh and yea the rest is awesome!1!!!!

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #110 on:** August 01, 2010, 10:38:50 PM »

I like it. Especially the nacelles. Oh yeah, and the deflector, too. ;)

OH. WOW. :drool:

Nihilus · « **Reply #114 on:** August 02, 2010, 02:34:47 AM »

Now that's just wicked cool. I love where this is going. I especially like the design that connects the Impulse engines around the Bridge area.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #115 on:** August 02, 2010, 07:35:08 AM »

*blinks twice* Wow. That is one gorgeous ship CG. *adds it to my "download this as soon as it comes out" list*

CG: On his way to more cookies than posts...

moed · « **Reply #117 on:** August 02, 2010, 06:15:40 PM »

Outstanding!

But the saucer is a bit too Sovereign like, and the deflector - as nice as it is - needs to be something more unique IMO. DJ's done the split look and it's real cool, but I think this ships deflector needs a more "individual" look... for lack of a better descriptive word.

Cookie.

Chronocidal Guy · « **Reply #118 on:** August 02, 2010, 08:46:08 PM »

Well, it is kind of a sov derivative in most ways, but yeah, I'm still not sure about the saucer layout just yet. I'm not changing the major details, but I might change the outer edge design, maybe stretch it forward a bit.

The deflector I dunno if I like yet, but with how long I've been gone, I'm catching up to years of other people's ideas. Everything I'm coming up with has probably been done before in one way or another.

I might try a few shapes, but I'm kind of stuck into the space it has right now. Don't wanna redo the hull shape, I like it the way it is, even if it is very sov-like.

keep the double deflector
