I like the side view, I like the top view. Everything else makes it an ugly TRIBBLE. It lacks typical Romulan design aestetics. For example, the main hull looks too much like an Orion ship than Romulan.
And what purpose is the wings hunched over like that?
I rather this not be published, but since it definitely will be, just hope we got a skin of this ship that's more Romulan.
I don't like how the curved wings suddenly become a straight line when joined to the hull. It's the same problem with the hull of the Regent and the saucer of the Chimera. It looks ugly and spoils the rest of the design. It's almost as if it's a way of getting around the polygon budget rather than adapting the design to it.
Way too many angles. Looking at it, hardly looks Romulan at all. Looks more like a Ki'tang or Hoh'SoS than a D'Deridex. Not necessarily a good looking Ship, much less Romulan ship. I had high hopes after the Kamarag that Cryptic was begining to 'get' the look of the canon ships, but I guess not.
The hull looks too fat, she's too flat and blocky around the stern, the upper wings are trying too hard to look cool and menacing (without managing to pull it off), and the hull's upper is too steeply sloped.
The hull should be less stocky and bumpy.
The wings should be sweeping blended into the main hull and spread wider (like the Mogai).
Loose the hinges/shoulder, please.
Honestly I actually quite like it. The split wings are obviously trying to evoke the D'deridex's same feature, although how well it works for you is a personal thing. Either way though, I'm happy with this, wouldn't mind flying one.
It looks odd. Straight edges are rarely used on Romulan ship design (except on the TOS BoP), they are usually round or feathered. The base of the wings sticks out oddly.

I do agree to the impression that this is likely a very Reman-influenced design. I find it far more appealing by comparison to the Scimitar and the "Reman Warbirds" seen in the Countdown comic.
With this in mind, I'm kind of liking the Dhelan-class.
Honestly, I'm much more interested in the ship they've put a concept pic of on the teaser site. The one that looks a bit like a beefed up Mogai with (what might be) fighter bays. Good looking ship that. :cool:

Thanks for the pics.

It only looks Romulan at all because it's green.

What is the purpose of the split wing design?

Aside from that it looks okay, though.
