I'm curious.  If you make something with this, I want to see what it would be.  It looks unique!

super cool.depending the scale of the nacelles it's either a fast special shuttle, like a luxury yacht , or a really big cargo type thing.

I can see the yacht or the cargo hauler.  I'd want to see two more warp engines to sell the idea of speed with a fast shuttle!  Great ideas!

Thanks guys. It was probably just going to be a transport, or something. Maybe a small science vessel.

still cool to see a new shape that has familiar forms.

As this design seems to be generating interest, I may do something with it. I still have to work out something that looks better for the secondary hull, though. I may work with what I have and make some changes to the underside, which is really ugly, and do something else for the shuttlebay.

Well, I'm curious to see what you do, Gowron!  LOL!

So, this is where I'm at with this little funky design.





The underside is pretty flat right now, so I'm not showing it just yet. After several attempts to redo the secondary hull to something I like, I wound up just going with what I had before, but with some modifications. Right now, this ship is around 81.5m long, 45.6m wide and 11.35m tall. It's going to get taller when I add a bridge and something to the bottom. As previously stated, this is a support ship, so it's nothing that is going to have to survive for long periods of time on its own. I'm also thinking it doesn't have a very big crew, maybe 15 or so. It would likely mostly be used for transport duties, possibly the occasional scouting or scientific mission. It also would likely be used for defense.

The square part in the back is going to be for a shuttlebay, I'm thinking it only carries one shuttle. I'm not planning on giving it the ability to land, as landing gear would take up too much of the finite internal space. That's what transporters are for. Anyway, that's what I have for now.

Very cool!

I could not put in words so I drew what I was thinking. 

what about docking notch?

sorry had to use your pic.  But like an open extensive docking area that can dock to most small ships but also to whatever. dun-know just brain fart

That's actually an idea I considered early on. I could use the existing cut-out in the secondary hull. The shuttle would land on the hull itself and dock with a port. Kind of like how the Ghost and Phantom work in Star Wars: Rebels.

Looking Good Chris.

Thanks Dean. Though, the motivation to work on this or much of anything else right now is low. I opened Modeler earlier, then promptly closed it. I also downloaded Blender 2.80 RC3 to take a look and rage quit that. Since then, I've mostly been reading Dracula comics from the 1970s.

I have to do a bunch of reading and test-taking if I am going to keep my diagnostic licenses this weekend, but reading Dracula comics sounds SO MUCH BETTER!  I used to love those.

I never read any of Marvel's "The Tomb of Dracula" series before yesterday. I bought an omnibus with The Tomb of Dracula 1-15 and Dracula Lives! 1-4. I read The Tomb of Dracula 1-15 last night. I only have the other four to go. I also watched the original Dracula movie this morning. So, yeah, I'm on a bit of a Dracual kick.
