With the nacelle arms sloping that sharply, this would be a good candidate for quad nacelles, don't you think?

cheers.
Voyager was supposed to be thousands of tons, yet it flew around alright in atmospheres.

Quad nacelles? I think the Prometheus was the only ship that did it well, but I'll give it a try.

Ha ha, I am torn!
On one hand I like it a lot, but on the other, I have to admit that it looks a little too 'busy' at the back end with four nacelles. What to do, what to do?

cheers.

I vote it keeps just 2 nacelles!

All I want is a tall ship and a star to steer her by...:)

Thanks for the complements. I haven't been working on this lately mainly due to lack of inspiration for some of the details at the back. I may try to do more soon.

Nice work on the Majestic Class Federation starship, If I was you I would stick with the Four Warp Nacelle configuration. One it looks better and two it makes it look more like a Tactical/Battlecruiser plus it looks more menacing.

Keep up the good work!

i wouldn't stick to a four nacelle version because it would be stupid and piss off the creators. it was always intended to have a single pair of nacelles.


keep working on it cptkirk, its getting there

And when the day arrives, i'll become the sky
And i'll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me. For I am going home

nothing can stop me now
