| SFM Oracle | Well, it's a damn cool ship and a great idea, but retracting the nacelles in the way of the deflector is a bit dangerous. The deflector should be fulltime visible in front view, not only in warp-flight. But I like the idea of the pulling nacelles instead of the classical pushing ones. It's a fancy new idea. Especially your want to have them top-down instead of left-right. |

But the choice to block your bridge with them? I dunno. I know it isn't important where you put the bridge, it's still not aesthetically pleasing. Unless you reverse the deflector and have the ship going the way I first thought it was going. Maybe if they were to either side? |

| SFM Nugget | Is it just me or does it seem like we're looking at a rear perspective in that drawing? After further examining the details I realized its a front view but my initial impression was that the ship was flying away from me. |

Downloads: 1 Uploads: 0 | Yep, at first I too thought the bridge got wider at the front. Took a few minutes to register properly... I can't decide if I love or loathe the design idea but the quality of the sketch itself is brilliant. How you kept it so clean looking is something I really need to learn. ![]() |
