We already have a good an excellent a perfect F. :P

I think this would make a great U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-2000-B or similar, though. ;)

You know what...I can almost see an "F" on there if you know what I mean.

That is an awesome design.

Me too. I think it would fit.

@Farshot: Nothing to stop this from being CG's rendition of the F. ;)

I say go for the F!
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I do have to agree that we pretty well have a definitive F.  I think this ship deserves a name of her own.

Lol... I have no intention of contending for fancy titles and such :D  

Besides, this would probably come from a similar timeframe as the Sov, no reason to make it an Enterprise.

I'll work out the details later, for now it's like a more heavily armed and slightly smaller Sovereign derivative.

I might actually go with a sort of gold/yellowish like the Sovereign.  But I like blue ones better. :)

Perhaps you could make a gold/yellow deflector as something of a prototype, and the blue one as a standard version, like DJ did with the Century?

It's looking fantastic!

How about a new U.S.S. Lexington NCC-81709? or U.S.S. Yorktown NCC-81717 something along those lines....We have a great Enterprise-F

I vote for Yorktown.  Good name, compliments the Enterprise well.

CG, get out of my head!  First off, if the pylons were swept back and lowered even with the horizontal axis of the secondary hull, it would be an almost dead ringer for my Endor-class design that has yet to be fully realized, and it's also supposed to be a more heavily armed and slightly smaller Sovvie-style ship. :P

Heheh, well, I'm not sure yet.  I might make it into a carrier, and split the front of the saucer still, but I was waiting to do a carrier style ship until this one's done (not to mention the Sov).

Added the upper bridge structure, seems a bit tall, but it's got a big hangar built into it that only extends about half way forward.  Even added an upper torpedo emplacement into the front of it, possibly a second quantum launcher to cover the upper forward arc.

Also tried a yellowish version of that deflector texture, but not sure which color I like yet.  The paintscheme colors will decide it I think, but I'm nowhere near that point yet.

Very nice design. :yay:

I think the deflector is great. Maybe add some very light blue in those two white parts.

This is looking beautiful.  Any chance we can see a size comparison with your Sovereign you're also working on?

Keep it yellow, I hate how everyone makes blue deflectors...

I still say go for the F! You wrote the book on the Sovereign, if anyone deserves to make a follow-up it's you.

Nothing against DJ.

For people like FarShot, you could always release multiples w/ different names, so he could download the one not called Enterprise...

Blue fits the era, and is easily recognizable (We've seen blue in all eras, it's one of the things that help identify as a fed design)... She's purdy dude, those nacelles are just stunning.

I think we should start launching names at it when CG asks for it. For all we know he already has a name for this unusual beauty. ;)
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Whatever it is called will be fine with me. This has turned out to be an awesome design. :thumbsup:
