Not bad. A little bit closer to the Galaxy, a nice touch of newness (is that even a word? ). I love how it has almost no neck, looks funny. Slap different nacelles on it and yeah, you have a pretty fine ship.
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.

It looks as if the sketch was drawn by someone with some skill and artistic flair, but the overall design is just pants. Really smelly scratchy woolly pants.
Im with Hellkite and Starblade on this one - the design as it stands now is a dog... there seems to be no unifying design features (except the straight up plagiarism of the Ambassador Class) and no logical rhyme nor reason for the general layout.
Twin necks? Why? Nacelles with no clear view forward? Not a Trek Design Feature. Bigger than a Galaxy Class? Why on earth do you need all that mass? A deflector dish big enough to swallow an Intrepid Class? I shake my head...
It seems the designer does not understand, or is ignorant of the basic first principles and back story to designing a Federation Ship. Even the Defiant follows the Trek "lore" if you will...
It looks as if someone looked at the Galaxy / Ambassador and made a mutant hybrid, utilizing the ST:Online palette of ship parts. I.e. over aztecced, mis matching and ameturish...

I know I'm probably going to be the only person to say this, but I thought that the sketch had potential ...
I do not blame the designer. I think he did a decent job and probably knew what he wanted and what it was for.
The original sketch showed some promise,
I kind of liked the original sketch.
I still think fans make better games than companies who have no idea about the genre that they are making the game from or what the consumers want. I say lets make our own or throw our full support behind some projects as Star Trek Excalibur (I think it's called that) and Fleet Operations etc. I just hope this new Trek game coming out will put Trek gaming back on target, STO was a complete a total failure in my opinion and this complete disregard to an artist's rights as Starblade has point out is just another example of Cryptic and their values. I am now officially boycotting Cryptic and any future products they produce.
Koala's aren't the issue, the Wombats are the ones that have been known to kill people. Grumpy, short and very sensitive about their weight.
