Columbia class frigate

[agent036]

Hi, I was wondering the net looking for some ideas and I came across you guys. While this isn't an Lcars it is in the ball park so to speak. It's my first illustrator schematic and it's a work in progress but what do you think. The Columbia class ship is my own design, put in to service around 2290. I designed it for a trek roleplaying game I'm running.

And here are some representative pictures of the ship I did in 3ds Max

hi agent036, welcome here
your ship columbia looks very intersteing - a blend of TOS and TMP-styles. but to come into serviice 2390...? it's a bit late for this kind of design. just my 2 cets, it's your baby and it looks good.

"put in to service around 2390."

My bad, 2290, just 5 years after the launch of Excelsior. I wanted it's hull shape to follow TMP styling but echo some concepts of Excelsior and other ships to come in the post original crew era.

Low registry in my opinion, but the design is unique!* :)
