I hope the nacelles won't be pointy like those of the Sovereign. This thing needs something blocky, fat and powerful :D. And what's that thing at the back, a secondary bridge?

Farshots sketches are on the first page. The front and aft nubble things are quantum turrets.

Eh, I only read the front page if it's the page that loads on redirect. :arms: There -may- be an update tomorrow, depends if I get back early enough. (The bridge module hasn't been built yet)

Doing a good job with it Prime.  Only one thing - the front hanger extends the entire height of the saucer.
I'd show you a front pic, only my scanner doesn't work.  I'll try Fireworks.

Lol, the phasers ARE too big.  I didn't really mean them to be like that.  Maybe I'll put a bunch of tiny phaser strips with small coverage.

For something that big, it will probably look better with point emitters for the phasers.

Hmm (to what El said). Otherwise the phasers might look like gigantic worms.

Several Sovvie style phaser placements would be awesome I believe, like, have one brace of phaser strip, then one like 30 meters above that one or something. Then you get a dual phaser effect, and it would kinda make sense. I mean, the thing has the power for it...

How about having phaser 'circle' strips?
Basically small strips forming complete circles dotted around the hull., a little like turrets.

It would avoid stupidly long strips. (And Dalekanium's 'Worm' analogy).

I can imagine this being riddled wth pulse phaser turrets. So they could do broadsides.

Cannons need to have a comeback. Plus, the word broadside is awesome.

He's totally right. A few cannons couldn't hurt. ;)

Yeah, I meant pulses with whatever phaser we decide upon. This will not be an HQ without pulses.

I'll be including pulses no matter what, so pick a phaser style.  I always loved the way pulses could negate shields when fired very rapidly.

Hm... have you considered doing some kind of mixtures of those 3 phaser-ideas?

i have to suggest point-defense style phasers. when you consider the shear size of this ship, its going to be moving and turning very slowly and wherever it is positioned would be the "center point" of any medium to large scale battle. that means alot of blind spots. imagine dozens of fighters zipping around it in close proximity, or a few defiant-sizes ships making strafing runs.
