A few days ago WZ was joking with me about updating/redesigning the beautiful Galaxy-Class...and I said to myself, "Now that's a challenge"...so here it is

Thanks WZ for poping this idea into my head 
-
Damn man, do you ever strike out? I've never seen you design something that just looks bad. (grin).
Another awesome design..
-
cool!
-
Fecking awesome...
-
most excellent bubba !! Just one little tinny suggestion ... make the saucer a little larger.. to keep its proportion balanced.. other wise I completely agree with everyone !!
-
That is one darn good redesign there Atolm, pity there no view of the underside *hint* *hint*

Some suggestions I have, perhaps add phaser strips on the struts and on the side under the nacelle like the original, perhaps make these strips longer for added strength? Also maybe add a quantum torpedo launcher like the sovy, theres definately more sweet spots for my weapon placings
But again nice design mate, well done *wonders what underside would look like*
-
Like This???
The saucer was increased 10% on the first pic
New
Old
As for the ventral veiw...should anyone want to model her...I would provide it
-
i like both, but the new one retains the original galaxy perportions.

Yeah me too

Oh...how did you guys like the circular cut out in the saucer that houses the bridge???
-
id need to see it 3d wise, i thought it was elevated surface.

-
TOTALLY GNARLY, DUDE!!!
-
Im sorwie Azel but I have to say that its f@#$^&* beautiful, I mean literally thats hot, I cant wait to see it done, wonderfully designed, worthy of being produced at utopia planitia

sorry but why remaking the best Enterprise design ever there with that stupid Sovereign bridgesection ???
the good old Galaxy is and was the best ship design for an Enterprise that has ever been there, why must everey one redo the oldder styles with thos s*** new style parts ???
-
Well, you do have a point Terradyhne, I'm not a big fan of copying all these new part sections from Soverign models, but you got to admit that is still a VERY nice design. I wish they should have designed the soverign similar to this design concept personally. Would have simularites to the Galaxy Class.
-
Yes but then there would have been no point in the Sovereign and everyone would have complained it was a rip-off with no originality. Quite frankly I hated the Galaxy class when I first saw for quite a few years and it only grew on me in the last years of TNG. OTOH the first time I saw the Sovereign I loved it - a return to the mechanical, human look of the TMP aesthetic mixed with the organic round shapes of the TNG aesthetic, it worked very well I thought.
The TMP constitution was the best Enterprise ever BTW.

I didn't intentionally use a Sovie bridge type...it flowed into it...
As for the Galaxy class being the most beautiful Ent...Well...thats a toughy...but it is the most beautiful
design for the feds...
And yes something can be the most beautiful overall an not be right for the Enterprise
-
I think you're really on to something great here, Azel!
Your interpretation of the Galaxy Class looks like a more advanced/evolved version that would be a more "realistic" replacement for the Enterprise D.
I would really like to see this ship leave drydock after the Galaxy Class nears the end of its design lifetime, somewhere circa 2460....
Oh yeah, and she's a LOT bigger than her predecessor, a true voyager that goes on loooong missions with a multimission platform requiring a crew of thousands.
Yeah, I'm gettin' carried away here...

ARE YOU FRICKIN HIGH!?!?!? The most beautiful Enterprise is stil, and will always be, the original. 
I like this design, it's a more evolved Galaxy. This looks like something that would be around in between the Sovvy and Galaxy. This should have been the design style for the E with the Sov as the F.
I want to model her, but have too much on my plate right now.
-
I would attempt to model her...But I have not the skill to create the saucer and other structural elements that I designed...
So I will do a much more Detailed version of the drawing
-
Hey, that's something.
Perhaps another modeller could then take your blueprints and go with it...
There're definately a bunch of folks out there who have the skills.
-
I love the redesign Azel. Absolutely love it. And as for the best looking Enterprise...that would have to be the C. No question. With the A being second. My opinion
