I would have thought a TMP version would have had more of the sweeping pylons and the flat/boxier nacelles, but this cold be valid TMP craft as well, according to the starship design philosophy Atrahasis was sharing in here a couple of weeks ago (which I thought was VERY insightful).
I'm a huge Daedalus fan. The ship just has something about it that screams "Trek" to me, even louder than a good old fashioned Connie. Maybe it's just me [/shrugs].
Great job!

i did think about that But i wanted to stay close to the tos one too not more too far off the design yet make it look more tmp
as you see the hull is more 1701A style then the tos daedalus giving it that more tmp feel
also the warpengine i went for boxy engines but did not like the look at all so i went for more updated tos look ones

I, myself, would get rid of the TOS deflector/comm array. I have no idea what I'd put in place of it if anything. Although I do prefer TMP style engines and a form similar to the USS Pasteur [sp?] I could see this around in the Ambassador's heyday.
The details are great, I spent close to twenty minutes just looking at the details on the ships textures.
Well done. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Too bad this couldn't be put in to the ENTERPRISE series...

Make the neck more like the Ent-A and raise the sphere above the main deflector. Reduce the size of the deflector and make it recessed like the Exclesior. It looks a lot like the Olympic class and would make a good hospital ship. Don't give it the standard TMP nacelles, though. Give it the Oberth engines. The whole thing should be ths size of a light cruiser or heavy destroyer, and the engineering hull should resemble a bulkier version of the Oberth hull.
that be a 99% new ship i`m not trying to do a Olympic class ship
and why a oberth? idea is to keep close to the tos one after all its the same design just updated to tmp

It just looks like it should have Oberth engines.

This model looks like a perfect example of great textures making a mediocre mesh look outstanding.
I'm very impressed.
