Submitting Ship Concepts

I have concepts for ships I'd LOVE the devs/concept artists of Cryptic/STAR TREK Online to take and bring to "life". Mainly Federation I do have one Klingon and one Romulan ship concept as well.
Since I could never get the funds for my own studio and or permission from CBS to make my own STAR TREK game, sending my concepts to the Cryptic devs would be as good. If there was a visible digital "box" to submit my concepts I would immediately send the suggestions I'm willing to share but then that "box" would be jam packed of 100s to 1000s of submissions for ship concepts...*sigh* So please devs and or ship concept artists be on the look out for mine or other people's ship ideas, not to sound insulting but I'd like to see more fan made ships.
Although my ships aren't 3d made or detailed in 2d they are just concepts I'd like to see in a STAR TREK game, primarily STO or a future STAR TREK game like STO that's all I plead to you. Having my ship concepts made and put into a (Star Trek) game would be a highlight of my life. That is all.

Link to my public concepts with their concept specs, ignore NX class that was made for fun.

    If you want your designs to be used by Cryptic outside of somethnig like a design contest (which there currently is none), I think you will need to apply for a job with them.

    They probably even dislike getting designs submitted, because they might have worked on a similar one and the submitter could claim there idea was stolen. And the legal work required to find an agreement on a design taking from someone outside the company is non-trivial.

    Of course, for myself... Spaceship prôn is always welcome.
    The Tomino looks interesting (at least I like the drawings here: http://lokiawa.deviantart.com/art/USS-Tomino-NCC-96200-mk2-593587419.)

    I really like the Ziyal. I have always been a fan of triangular saucer starships.

    I would try to apply to Cryptic for ship concepts but I fear I'll have to have more than ship concepting to work for Cryptic...but if at least they take my design and add it or them into the game, they'd have no trouble from me. I'd just be happy to know my designs would in a game that I can eventually play. But if they credit me for the original concept design then that'd be a big bonus to me!

    though the tomino is nice, it kinda looks like an upside down ranger class....

    In regards to your star trek bridge layout, I like that you incorporated a bathroom, but there's no need to include a bedroom. The captain should have their own quarters elsewhere on the ship (most likely with the rest of the crew quarters). I do find it odd that you made the bathroom bigger than the bedroom though.

    Edit: I'm referring to the captain's bedroom and bathroom on your drawing. (I just noticed that those two open areas to the left are also bathrooms.)

    Edit 2: And now that I think about it, there would be no need for bathrooms on the bridge to be so big (or for there to even be three). Giving the captain one for their ready room, and then having a second one connected to the bridge would be enough.

    @kjwashington
    Hahaha well I put the mini bedroom there in the Captain's ready room just in case the captain wants to sleep there or in case their quarters is blocked for some reason.
    And yeaah...thinking back I did make the bridge bathrooms large, but that was to fill in the space. But I did make a better updated bridge version, bathrooms are still a bit large but that's equalled out by the extra number of bridge seats/stations. Alas I didn't draw the new bridge but I designed it on a 3d app (5d Planner). And good point about the captain having their own separate bathroom.

    Idea is alright, but needs to be about the other 2 factions, imo.

    Yeah I know, but I..personally found it difficult to try and design a new ship for the Klingon and or Romulan factions, having to strictly stick with how previous ships of either faction is designed and try to stick with that lineage of design...woof. I was lucky I managed to come up with a updated version of the Klingon Bird of Prey(B'rel class) and a variant of the Valdore class. Now if new factionless alien ships is needed? I can EASILY come up with new ship concepts.

    http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10015203 well, if you look close enough, it has similarities to both the ranger and perseus depending on the view. if the ranger didnt have the big deflector dish, they would look very identical, just flip it upside down.

    You know what they say - spaceship prôn, I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.
