They are good looking ships and I like it; but did they have DNs back then? and it looks pretty close to the TOS connie silouette. There is a lot of time between pre fed times and the TOS era isn't there? The CA looks like a carrier and the hull is more modern looking than the connie with aspects of TNG thrown in.

/i thought about the carrier aspect, but didn't think they had fighters back then.  Although I am thinking about making it look more runwayish for expanded shuttle bays.

I think you can blame the designers on the show for that.  I don't see how you could be consistent with the aesthetic of the program and make it look more primitive than the Daedalus.  I use the NX01 for a Phase 2 frigate.  I think the design style makes a good transition between TOS and TMP.

The good thing about making models is they are yours you can take advice or not as you see fit. I like them. I just pointed out a few things. Ultimately, they are your creations and no one can say with more authority than you how they should be. You want a carrier, make it a carrier. They don't look pre-Fed; well niether does the NX-01. BTW you might want to change the registry; it says Enterprise.

I like how you stretched out my secondary hull. I had originally made that part to be used in kitbashes but really could never fit it into many designs. Stretching it side to side turned out nice! Good Job, keep it up!

I like them, but would personaly eliminate the second deflector, or make it the same stle as the one on the saucer.

How bout these mods  A old model shuttle pad (based roughly on a runway) and the old deflector has 'guts' sticking out
