outta curosity, how do you feel about the Nova and Sydney classes?
They may be my favorites, lol. Nova because it’s sleak and actually makes sense as a science platform. (unlike the galaxy class. too big, too resource intensive, too many crew. and what the hell is with all the families on board getting shot at?)
I like the Sydney because it’s form follows function. it’s boxy, ugly, utilitarian. but it acutally makes sense. (Seriously… what the hell’s with the d’s compound curves? tons of wasted internal volume… exessive structural elements. Tons of vulnerabilities.)
Big fan of the Nova - it makes so much sense as a design from the same era as the Intrepid, though it does betray its origins as a Defiant concept to me, would work very well as a little agile warship.
The Sydney, ehh I can take or leave, it always felt a bit too kitbashy, but they did make a nice and balanced design despite that
I’m a big fan of all the weird little ships the federation scrambled to produce because of the borg.
You got the defiant, sure. but you also have the Akira and the Nova and their who-knows-how-many variations. it was like morons woke up and realized maybe they really do need warships and started throwing pasta at the wall to see what stuck.
this is awesome work.

A compound curve and beautifully wasted space sends a message to other cultures…we can afford this. Don’t start nothin’.
“Don’t start nothin with the Federation, or we’ll finish it with our heavily-armed conference centre”
