I'm working on a
Daedalus class bridge for the interior design competition over at
Subspace Comms Network. I've never liked the accepted "canon" for the Daedalus. Thankfully, it's never been stated on screen that the sphere & tin can design is actually the
Daedalus class. Not that Greg Jein isn't a great modeler I just think that he, and the Trek Encyclopedia, etc. took the Jefferies pathfinding concept sketches for the Enterprise too literally. It was, after all, only a concept sketch and not the finished ship.
Anyway, I needed a line drawing of the exterior for interior displays so I whipped up a more finished version, quick & dirty like. I maintained the overall proportions and shape of the accepted canon ship and Jefferies sketches but wedged it into the lineage between the
NX and
Constitution classes (BTW, I absolutely love the forward swept nacelle pylons that Jefferies included in the original sketch.).
So, here she is,
Daedalus rewritten:
If y'all are interested in more you*can check out the floor plan WIP and eventual isometric drawing over in the
SCN Artwork & Design forum. The other entries are starting to shape up to be pretty interesting too, particularly BorgMan's "Starfleet Centre for Stellar Cartagrophy."
