Why the big Starfleet logo in on the side? kinda stands out a bit much from the rest of the picture

They were placed there at the request of the ships designer.

i find this pic a bit confusing. the Monarch fires to starboard, i.e. it has weapons directing there. u may ask now, what is so confusing about that? Confusing is, that the Monarch seems to be more advanced then the later commissioned Constitution-Class, cause the Connie had only 2 Phaserbanks directing foreward.





nonetheless the pic looks quite good

Actually, kuckuk333, what Ozylot did there was actually what Starfleet would have gone.





You see, the NX Class could fire each side, right? Because of the Phase Cannons. Right there, those could be FIXED Phase Cannons, so they can't move. So that ship could have one phase cannons on each side, and two forward. The NX Class would have been stronger than the Constitution if the Pre-Federation Developed phaser banks, because she had more torp launchers than the Constitution. But, they only developed Phase Cannons, much weaker than Phaser Banks...think of it as Type I or Type II phasers, while the Constitution has type IV or type V. So you see the difference, the Constitution is still stronger. No mistake in that photo, I LOVE IT. Only wish I could create something like that, I got no program to do it...HP image zone...not something to create...Microsoft Photo Editor...yeah right...eh.

Thanx guys!





Most of the tech that is used here is consistant with the NX-01 enterprise era ships. IMO

Ozylot great job.

I always liked the Monarch and it looks great, but as Dr-Timelord said, the logo stands out too much, it looks like a sheriff star. Another problem is that the beam looks like it is coming from nowhere. But other than that, it looks great.
