Low Domain Quantum Slipstream. (I wanted to go with LDS first...) A slower less invasive form of Quantum Slipstream. I needed a story mechanism that would allow me to keep these short transit times over 10.5 Light Years. At Warp cruising speeds, it takes too long to commute. :)

(2/2) I know it looks almost the same, but the 22 version has slots for the pylons and mounting points on the nacelles on the top and bottom, that way it is not just stuck on/in the pylon/hull but really slots in, and all variations would become "valid". That was super important to me. :)

In a way yes! The Curie (from the books) in my mind always had this config. The large Sato side pods would be different/smaller on the Curie. The version on the schematic was a proper conversion I did in 2022 for Picard. (unused) In 2012 I did this mock up: (1/2)

Very cool! :) I like smaller ships, they are more manageable, and in a way just more logical.

If not me, you can always ask one of the many talented modelers on here. :) I first need to finish a shipyard. (Working on it!) :)

But it does exist. :) What era would it be from?
*Most of my work is somewhere in limbo between unfinished or in my head. I do have a huge backlog of ships/workbee/shipyard to finish, so my single nacelle design...maybe in 5 years? :P

Cool! I still want to do a single nacelle ship. I know it might break older Trek rules, but they are not totally implausible. (As long as the nacelle exterior sort of depicts it is a dual coiled system.) I for example like the proportions of the Freedom class, but not the re-use of a D nacelle.

You kind find a couple of these in the Full Circle (Voyager) novels from Kirsten Beyer. I worked with her to get the right ships in that fleet. :)

The livery is very Section 31. :)

This concept is dated Friday 31st of October 2008. A week or so before we settled on Probert's curved pylons. I did try out a few different configs. I personally liked this, but it would make the ship a bit shorter than was desired.

The Vesta made it up to pre-viz. The Merians would have been a background bonus. I have too many things to do, so I'm not pro-active if it comes to Trek work. I first want my shipyard to be completed, so I have a base for my renders, then re-evaluate what ships I want to put time in, out of hobby.🙂

Nearly. :P I prepped some ships for the show, but they did not make it in.

The normal "Planck" version is 220 meters long, 115m wide, and 51 m in height. It can operate on a crew of around 80.(Measured is the brushed up version I did for the Picard production, although it did not see use.)

Fast mass production mainly, required after the events in Destiny. It has a central spine so that different pylon or module configurations can be used independent from the hull sections. My only problem with the Miranda is how the pylon "sticks" into the hull. This was my solution to that.
