2DGalaxy/Intrepid hybrid

Interesting take, just be careful to not mix the parts in such a way that it looks like a kitbash type ship; unless of course that is what you are going for. The pylons don't look right from the front. They need to have a softer curve going away from the ship as apposed to the sharp curve going towards the ship. Overall, I like it.

Also I don't know why I never noticed this before, but the deflector dish with the torpedo tubes make the front of the Intrepid class looks like an overtly excited smiley face.....

The nacelles and pylons will be changing

Thanks, BB, now I can't unsee that!

An interesting idea, SATR. Not sure it's a good mix, but then the Garden Trowel and the Duck are my least favorite Fed ships. I'm curious to see how you harmonize them.

The thing about the galaxy class is it was by fed standards HUGE, and could carry well over a thousand people for years at a time. It was also self sufficient and mean to be self reliant for extended periods as it explored where no fed ship had gone before.

The thing about the intrepid was it was able to land on planets and take off, was designed after that so called "warp problem" was discovered and her variable geometry engines could supposedly reduce the damage warp drives did, and she had those 'bio neural gelpacks' that won't show up in modelling.

I would recomment giving the rear section the variable configuration war engines like an intrepid had while giving the saucer the ability to land and lift off again. Add in the galaxy class' huge size and you basically combine both main attributes.

The front with the sensor and torp tubes reminds me of the ship from heavy metal a little. Not a bad thing actually.

One issue I do see here is that you were saying you wanted am interpid/galaxy hybrid and what I see looks to me basically like an intrepid on steroids. I'm just not really seeing anything in here that says "Galaxy class" to me.

I think to get more of the look you are wanting; I would do try things like remove the dual torpedo launcher in the secondary hull and place a single one on the neck like the Galaxy, then give the deflector dish a more Galaxyesque look. You could also smooth the transition where the pylons meet the secondary hull to give it more of the look of the Galaxy class. I also personally liked the idea of the fixed pylons you used earlier. Not all ships have to have variable geometry; look at the Enterprise E.

That is only a few ideas, I know it may take a few modifications to find something that works for you.

OK I'd make the ship look like an intrepid class rear Hull with a clearly detachable saucer type section that can land and take off to create a galaxy intrepid hybrid. Both actions should have impulse engines and a shuttle bay.
