Wow! Fascinating! These questions popped up in my mind.
Where are the warp engines located on these ships? Would the curving of the port and starboard sections of each class affect how these classes travel? Would they travel faster or slower? How would this affect shielding and weapons arcs?
And once again, excellent drawings!

That would be my thought. I would also guess the "Expanding Shield Generator" (aka "ESG") would be in the middle of the curving arms.
Another, most likely much later generation of ships vs. what's in Star Fleet Battles.

Would the curving of the port and starboard sections of each class affect how these classes travel? Would they travel faster or slower? How would this affect shielding and weapons arcs? And once again, excellent drawings! Thanks. The warp nacelles are under the hulls. The larger ships have the trimaran hulls, and the smaller ones have the catamaran style. I may opt a police ship as a single hulled design or a pseudo-catamaran. These dorsal views are for use as tokens or something...lol As for what the outward design of the hulls do for the ship as a whole? Well for one it brings main weapons that do not have good arcs to have better coverage for little movement in order to bring them to bare. That would be my thought. I would also guess the "Expanding Shield Generator" (aka "ESG") would be in the middle of the curving arms. Another, most likely much later generation of ships vs. what's in Star Fleet Battles. You are correct on the ESG brother  . Also, these ships are TNG era I think...I mean I could see these also as TMP, but not TOS. I still also have a few more to make... So keep checking the first post for updates. And thanks bro for the comment. |

I like these a lot, I assume the bow is to the top of the image in each case as its hard to say?

I am continually amazed by the incredible detail you put into your drawings. All the gold in the world can't buy such talent! Congratulations on another triumph here. |

Whoa! This guy threw off his helmet, bares his right arm to potential gunfire, baring his teeth big time. Can we safely say he's having a bad day right now? Or that he just doesn't give a (BLEEP!) and wants to slay some Klingons? Or Lyrans if one's into SFB? Big applause on the color variant! |

Thanks Just felt the Kzin/Kzinti/Mirak needed some love  I just updated their ships in the post above: ststcsolda.proboards.com/post/19584/thread |

I never tire of saying this, amazing work, atolm !  Do you plan to give us elevation views like your other Empire designs? I know where the Lyran nacelles will approximately be (unless you've integrated them into the catamaran/trimaran hulls), but I'm curious to see how the Kzinti designs look in a three quarters view. I can seen the influence of the TAS and SFB designs in these plan views, but want to see how the forward wedges from the SFB designs look, if that is indeed is what you've went with. Thanks. And yes I will provide something for each race so that you guys will have a better feel. BTW I updated the Kzin/Mirak fleet with a destroyer. |

I've always liked the Kzinti and it was nice to see them make an appearance in the animated series. Thank you for not using the Pepto pink in the color illustrations!  |

Updated the Kzin/Mirak fleet I see the 'police ship' from the TAS episode is now included. Nice interpretation! |
