| Re: OMG! Design the next USS ENTERPRISE (Offical Contest) Yep, she was powerful. She was developed against the Borg. But in the series, not the Borg was the greatest threat. From the front the shape was very simple. The nacelles were a bit tilted, like if they would want to shape the legs of an A at the top and a V at the bottom. The deflector was a bit different because it wasn't a standard deflector as the Concordia had one large separated to two as the front of the deflector section was also V shaped (If we look from the top. The left side of the V was one of the deflector, the right side was the other side.). It was also streamlined to the other parts of the ship. But from the front she was a realtively easy design. So the ship had a lot of V and A shapes. The saucer is also was more similar to a V as it wasn't that smooth, but it was much more similar to the Prometheus' saucer section. |

| Re: OMG! Design the next USS ENTERPRISE (Offical Contest) Both looks great, but Chris' picture has a little problem (While the ship is beautiful and I like the warp nacelle and deflector design.); because of the lights it's giving the false impression the ship is moving backward. Your ship also looks great (Your warp nacelle also has a great design). The only thing what I don't like is the revese nacelle pylons. But it's not your fault. I never really liked reverse wings or pylons on any designs (That's the point what I don't like on the Prometheus either.). |

| Re: OMG! Design the next USS ENTERPRISE (Offical Contest) Lots of new Enterprise F pics from Cryptic: http://www.startrekonline.com/dyncon..._072211_01.jpg http://www.startrekonline.com/dyncon..._072211_02.jpg http://www.startrekonline.com/dyncon..._072211_04.jpg http://www.startrekonline.com/dyncon..._072211_05.jpg http://www.startrekonline.com/dyncon..._072211_07.jpg I'm liking her more and more  [edit] More pics: http://startrekonline.com/gallery [edit] I do hope they work on the textures a bit more. In some area the shapes seem purposeless or misapplied. Especially on the nacelle struts, which also don't blend with the other objects very well. |

| Re: OMG! Design the next USS ENTERPRISE (Offical Contest) There is, or course, no right answer to the question of "What is the Enterprise F?" Responses fall into a gradient of acceptance basked on individual bias. My answer was "fast and lean." Adam Ihle's answer was "big and bold." CapnLogan's (STO's modeler's) answer was "sleek and streamlined." The combination is incredibly imposing and dynamic. The dual neck does a wonderful job of conveying size, and taking the back of the necks and pulling that line into the nacelle struts took her from fragile to sturdy in a single stroke. I still prefer "fast and lean" but that doesn't make it the best choice for Cryptic. I can see why they went with Adams instead. The Enterprise F, as the flagship in a time of war, must command a great presence. |

| Re: OMG! Design the next USS ENTERPRISE (Offical Contest) Star Trek Online has released the Enterprise F. Gotta admit she's a real beauty. - I added a little more polish after getting Andrew Probert's help. Mostly she's just smoother around the neck/strut area.
