edited September 2010 in Work in Progress #1
I had originally started this ship in 3D for a comp on another forum, but alas, I didn't finish in time. So...I decided to start it again. This time I'll be starting the design in 2D beginning with the deck plans. I've got a rough draft of the exterior main hull that I'll work on later.

Deck 1
Deck 2


Let me know what you think. :)

    Interrsting ship. Looks like some small escort-type.

    I always like smaller ship designs since those are an important part of starfleet. I do like the deckplans quite a lot and it will be interesting to see how you will position the nacelles.

    very familiar lines to this class, keeoing it within Starfleets design path...Deck plans are a nice start. I am also interested in seeing more of this design and development.

    Thanks, guys. The nacelles will be a traditional configuration since part of the concept is to see how small you could make a ship, yet still retain the features of large ships. This little guy will more than likely be a cross between the Intrepid- and Nova-classes, but only about 65 meters long. She'll have three decks so only one more to lay out. :)

    Very neatly done deck plans, though not sure deck one would still fit all the way to the back of the ship (unless of course, there is more room above deck one for the raised bit towards the front)... What app did you use for the plans? I laid out walls once using powerpoint, but then hand drew all the rooms and contents (Yes, I finished deck 15 on the command section then no more!) so I'd be interested in being able to return to doing deck plans properly.

    Thanks.

    Deck one will only be about a meter high at the rear, but it's open to deck two below so no biggie. The only useful part of deck one will be the captain's quarters and the bridge. The rest is just to show some structural details. :)

    I use AutoCAD to layout everything since I'm a perfectionist and then import into Illustrator to get a clean look.

    Ah, another pair of applications I won't be able to afford to buy... damned mortgages... :)

    Well, it's done you very well, they are indeed very clean deck plans for my humble eye.

    Deck plans...done!

    I'll start working on the exterior next now that I can match what's inside to details outside.

    Sorry about the black background of my thumbnail, but my work computer doesn't allow me to do much.

    I really like this smaller sized ship. The deck layouts look amazing. Please keep up the great work!

    Nice! I like how you put in the stairwells and didn't see the need for turbolifts in such a small ship.
