nice job so far, one thing you should consider though is that the middle area of the saucer has a whole bunch of shuttle bays, not just the one

I think it won't look good when you'll put port and starboard saucer shuttle bays on MSD it'll take most of space there but that's up to you, excellent work !

No i wont be putting the port and starboard bays in, as mentioned it will take up far too much space

humm, I'm just curious....
aren't those pylons supposed to be just,... well... pylons? the Constellation is basically a dish with nacelles.
I'm not sure if they had decks on them. most likely they have Jeffries tubes, if any, but not a deck as we know them.

agreed.  i highly doubt there would be livable decks in those pylons.  they're pretty small.

I think im gonna keep them in, from the schematic they look like service decks, akin to the lower decks on voyager

Found these on Scifi-Meshes, made by a guy called "Commandersozo". Perhaps it will give some ideas as to how to proceed :)

Looks good! What program are you using? Or did I miss it...

isn't it "Master Situation" instead of "Master Systems"?

Damn it. I wish I could afford that... I'm stuck with the old Elements 2.0.

Ah well, enough about my problems lol. The schematics look good.

CSI have old elements LOL strange prog but also I have Ilustrator CS ... even more strange program. As far as I know it should be MASTER SITUATION on that MSD display, great job, would be great if someone could use it to retexture ambassador bridge to look as close as possible as constellation class bridge
