=Star Trek: Expanding Horizon=
I would like to introduce Expanding Horizon, a fan series. I was hoping that here I could find some recruits to make this work.
Basically, this is a LONG TERM PROJECT. This means that it probably won't be able to start for years due to factors such as money, resources, my age... But still, it is a goal which I believe to be achievable so why not start planning now?
I would appreciate starship design tips and such, so that the ship is immediately recognizable.

The saucer is looking good so far, what software are you using?
Do you have a drawing or something of what your finished ship is going to look like or are you making it up as you go?
Well, don't I feel inferior, I tried my first corridor rendering and this is how it turned out... Well I need more practice and a whole lot more detail. More updates to come.
.
Well, I started a new saucer with GREEBLES!
Let me know what you think!

The new saucer does look better, though I too am interested in seeing what the overall design is.
=============
Well, first off, thanks for replying, the hallway is meant to be like a slightly different intrepid type,with a militaristic feel. the main lighting will be emitted from the adapter sections. (No Adapters Pictured) The red alert and also white light emitters will be shining from the sides of the floor upwards. (Pictured)
In all, there will be [1] the adapter section [2] the hall section with lights [3] hall section without lights -for doors-
As for the overall design... I have probably drawn over three hundred star trek ship schematics, MSDs, and bridge plans, all of which may be good for other ships but I was never happy with them for the main, hero ship. (Apart from one bridge I am happy with.) This time, I am modeling it first with no general direction apart from those listed and a few of my own bits. This concept, while immensely freeing is not the best way to design... I'll start working on low poly models depicting the general shape. I'll also try to create some more internal renderings.
Like evil here i do the same as well with my own designs... i have an idea and i run with some times it works out most of the time it doesn't but i do some times reuse them or go back and start them over.....
Well, this is the main shape, for the moment. Not very happy with it, but it's a start. Let me know what you think.
.
(plus a neat render background!)
.
Also, the ship's name... USS Endeavour, really? Can't you come up with something a bit more original? Endeavour has been over-used.
As far as the name goes, I am open to suggestions. And... here are some new renders!
