    Heh! I thought that was naggingly familiar...

    Y'know, I never liked that DN. Always traded up for a BB as soon as possible.

    I almost get the impression that the existence of the new Art forum has not yet reached the community. I would have expected the conversation to continue more actively...

    IF you think that one was close ... you should have seen some of the 3-D meshes that were proposed as "BB" designs for the USS Alabama, USS Missouri, and USS Iowa in the SFC modeling forum ! Seems like Azel has some good stuff as well.

    Ah yes . the good ol' days !

    edit:

    This one does a pretty fair job of one of the old design concepts !

    It would seem another graveyard is open for business.

    Anyone wanna start a pool on whether there will actually be another dev diary about this?

    I liked the ship. but it's the neck that i don't like. it's look like the Oberth. but on the other way. this could work for the Enterprise. But the only ship i want too see in the game is the Ambassador Class. Becouse the circle of the Enterprise is not yet round. We got for so far the Constitution Class, The Constitution Class refit, The Excelcior Class, the Galaxy Class, and the Sovereign class. So in other words We have the U.S.S. Enterprise, The U.S.S. Enterprise A, B, D, E. Only one is missing the Enterprise C.

    I am going to say it upfront, I am not a fan of the design.
    However, I can see how that space between the necks can be filled while honoring the orginal Enterprise, the one that fought in the Pacific in WWII. Fill that space with a fighter bay, honor the original Enterprise, not you Archer, or the first nuclear carrier Enterprise, or the one Chekov stole Uranium from in Star Trek IV, (Although a carrier, not the original).

    The original Enterprise, huh? We can go with the first proper US ship to bear the name, if you don't want to use retroactive naming conventions.

    this is why i love you devs :) you're not like every other company that keeps info on updates on a need-to-know basis, and you don't keep yourselves from the forums
    the way you interact with us, it shows you're real people, which is so great it's indescribable... thank you, just... thank you for everything you do :D and hopefully everyone will realize this sooner or later

    (btw, i'm wondering... is there any ETA on the next Enterprise-F Design Diary? A lot of us would really like to know, if you can of course)

    The first nuclear carrier USS Enterprise CVN-65 (Enterprise-class) and the one Chekov stole radioactive particles from are the same ship (though in the movie the USS Ranger CV-61 (Forrestal-class) stood in for the "Big E") The one you are referring to is the CV-6 (Yorktown-class). So far there have only been two aircraft carriers to bare the name.

    Roddenberry was in the Army Air Corps (pre-Air Force), not the Navy, and flew a B-17 Flying Fortress... which is a bit too large for a carrier anyway.

    I wonder if the devs will incorporate the idea of the saucer separation and the warp ring inside the double neck. ;)

    I like most of the Model but the double Neck that also goes to the outer sides of the Saucer is something i really don't like somehow. If they would end more towards the middle of the Saucer i could go with it but the outer ends...nay..not mine. I hope there's a Neck Version that looks more to the standard even if it's a double Neck.

    current status is 'they're working on it" :) and actually, the next dev diary is supposed to be coming soon
    according to priorty one though, dstahl said they would give us a poll that have us choose what name the Enterprise-F's class, coming in a month or so, from when the interview was (great :D)
    in addition, he mentioned that while the current look would be the default look, they will be variants for it as well, though what kind were not specificed, as far as i heard (sweet! :D)

    EDIT: The new dev diary's out! :D here's the link: http://www.startrekonline.com/node/2492

    I liked the new dev diary. I was tempted to start a "new" topic about it, but you got the link here so I dunno, a new one might be too redundant?

    Anyways, I dug the new dev diary on the continued saga of developing the F.

    Thanks for the devs for sharing the process. It's fascinating to read. And it's getting me pretty excited about the ship.

    And the ship continues to be something I want to fly!

    As far as promotions go, this one's working on me pretty well. So you know, feedback that dev team. :)
