Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.
Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.
We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.
I even prefer the design in some of your sigs and avatars Jetfreak.
The design is... different to say the least. I'm not quite sure it fits in as pre-TOS though. Looks morelike something that would come somewhere else. It really doesn't fit in before or after TOS, its morelike something that would come after ENT.
As for the design though, I think the nacelles are oversized. In addition to that, the torpedo tubes should be moved to the under-saucer dome, else it is too much like TMP. TOS Connies shot from under the saucer, not from the neck.
Though personally after seeing In a Mirror Darkly, I would've preferred a TOS movie or series set on another TOS ship even if it was another Constitution fighting the Klingon, Romulans and doing the 5 year mission of exploration,
Original one still looks best... sorry to say.
The second one is a good compromise.
Gotta agree with you there.
Though my favourite Connie design is still the one from the movies....
