Here is a picture of my latest model. It is the USS Northshore, a Cypress Class Light Cruiser. It uses inspiration from the Steamrunner, Olympic, Premonition, and Sovereign Classes. Let me know what you think. Sorry about the string of links.

No Starforce, it is not a transport, it is a light cruiser. Think Intrepid class but shorter range. It is exactly the same length ( maybe a little shorter depending on your version of the game) as the intrepid class. The pod on top is able to be swapped out for mission specific duties. It can hold a cargo bay, shuttle bay, hospital, extra weapons, labs for scientific missions, whatever. It has 2 forward facing torpedo launchers under the hemisphere and two facing backwards on the semetrical weapon ridges in the back. The weapon ridges also have a phaser strip on the top of each. Additionally, the deflector/impulse pod has a phaser strip on both the top and the bottom. The bottom phaser strip has a 360 degree arc. Then there are dual phaser strips on the forward hemisphere. It is a short range cruiser with extremely fast dock time.
I hope I can get it into general fleet use soon. Thanks for the complements.

Always liked those.
Nice design that harkens back to the Oberth Class, IMHO.

Props to Azel !!! And lets here it for all those who wish to push the boundaries and venture into the "not normal!" Star Trek is the beginning of Science Fiction, not the end.
I also appreciate those who keep us on the ground. I often think to myself, "Self, what would Starforce critique about this one?" Those phaser strips on the hemishere were added with Starforce in mind. I have to admit, the transport comment was quite a suprise, but I can see where he would get that.

I do have a question for the modellers, though. Notice in the bows that the facets are readily visible and distinctly not curved. I see this a lot, is there a technical reason for not creating perfect curves on models?

There is a trick to make the saucer more round looking, but it will still increase poly count.
