Definitely a great design for an Enterprise refit, but I'd keep the nacelle pylons curved. TOS Enterprise to Enterprise-A was straight to straight so why wouldn't the JJ-prise to JJ-prise-Refit be curved to curved? Seems the curves are directly related to the ship designs for the "new" universe as a whole in regards to the Constitution anyways.

Just my 2 cents.  :D

Good point, it'll depend on how it looks either way.

Also, two new ship designs.  The Excelsior looking one is horribly out of proportion, but that's going to change.
The other is an Akira - Excelsior looking thing, with modules in mind.  The four module types are -
-sensors
-engines
-weapons
and -shields

Alright, more progress on the ingame model.  Sits at 8k polies.  Also here is a colored and stretched version of the sketch posted earlier, showing where I'm going with it.

Looks nice! The secondary hull looks a bit thin compared to the neck and saucer...

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."

That's because I haven't put on the details yet.  There still is external plating and the deflector side thingies to put on.

Well, say this. People here put pride into their models, in game companies they just make them and could care less if people like them. :D

Hmm...  I think I'm going to scrap this model.  Too many mesh errors, too hard to fix.  I need to find a good tutorial for the nacelles too.

Baz, if you read this thread, I need some help. :)

The original nacelle design is better IMHO.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.
