I'm glad you like it, but I think Paramount would object to any sort of poster sales. Besides, there are many others on here with much better images. Check out (arcas-art.deviantart.com/) for what I consider the best Trek art on Deviant.

Yes! I did not expect someone to take the Multitronics concept and go with it. After all the tech was fine, it was the fact it was based on the engrams of an stressed out Dr. Daystrum. Yet it wouldn't be the first tech trek showed once, then forgot. Love your M6 and I see its a series too. Fantastic and thank you!

M-VI acknowledges. Prepare for download of thanks. Begin.

Seeing this, I'm tempted to find a TOS ship of my own and write a story about it. Keep up the great work, Mr. Connors. I really enjoy your renders.

Feel free to call be Bill or Liam or Kon or Aba. But you don't have to call me Mr. Connors.
However, I am very thankful that you spelled Connors correctly. Most people don't.

Great POV - the model really holds up well for this kind of shot.
Not a comment about your picture, of course, but doesn't having the deflector in front of the Bussard collector kind of defeat the purpose? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well I thought about that, and I though that the deflector on a ship like the Enterprise would push all the hydrogen (assuming that's what the Bussard's a collecting) away from the ship, and the Bussard's would pulling it all in, creating a push-me-pull-you effect.
Then it hit me. What if the deflector has different settings? What if it can be set to push away all space dust/gas/debris, expect the stuff we want.

Wasn't the "bussard collector" idea tacked on long after these designs were made?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Actually no. The ol' bussard concept was made in the 1960s [link] Gene & Matt had loads of real space research material at the time so stands to reason he'd have wanted to incorporate that real science into Trek, he was very keen on that from the beginning, just because he didn't put it all on page one of the script of The Cage, doesn't mean he/they didn't think about it.

Ah. Very interesting. See, even the English can teach us something now and then.
I love you, Si.

Well, I can't speak for all English, but this one has much knowledge.

But only on a good day with a steady flow of tea.

Tea...I quite agree:

It's vital for brain functions!

Well.... yes.
And no.
In the seventies they got labeled as "matter intakes". Essentially the same function, but different name. But they were assigned that (I think first by Geoff Mandel) AFTER the publication of the Tech Manual. So.... draw whatever conclusions you want from that
You COULD say that the collection field is more like a funnel extending out from the nacelle cap instead of a cone. That actually makes just as much if not more sense. Thus the "funnel surface" would not cut through the deflector... or maybe just cuts through the support. At any rate I can see if working just fine using a little fudgey super science, like being able to create an asymmetric collection field.

How about if we just agree that it works because of Space Magic.

Ehh, it's still a really bad design, IMHO - I know there are all kinds of tales of structural integrity fields and whatnot, but that dish out there on that leetletiny spindle has always looked horribly under-engineered, to me. YMMV

I HOPE it's not Daystrom's work as he's now a 100% certified Mad Scientist!
Cool image. That's the nice things about those Greywolf-Starkiller models - they have enough detail to support "intimate camera views"
So what happens if M-6 crashes... or gets a virus from a stray subspace signal?

I'm sure there's no danger of anything going wrong with M-VI. After 5 earlier models, you can feel certain the bugs have been worked out.

The Fourth Law of Robotics (as told by C-3PO): When in doubt, head down to maintenance.
Hehe!

Sorry. I didn't know you were taking our chatter so seriously!

Not seriously in actually making M-VI part of the crew, just a spoof image.

Although considering I'm in the same position as Kirk was in that episode, having a computer program nick my job.

I think the spirit is more along the lines of: "Kill company executives, Kill company executives, Kill company executives, Kill company executives, Kill company executives"...the drugs don't work you know...they only make you worse.

Killing is good. You make me smile.

Only if it's company executives...those folks are bad.

You speak the truth, my friend.

It should be a zombie movie picture! "All Company Executives MUST DIE!"

The shuttles are unfortunately 100 years ahead of this ship's era. They are from the Defiant.

Ah, but they work because they look cool. So I used them.

Love this! I have a Nebula-class Columbia that I'm using in my fan fics, and the NCC-621 is one of her predecessors! This picture inspires me to write a TOS era story!

No worries...they can't be activated without direct authorization by M-VI.

They're sending that thing out unmanned?? Oh boy...

Well, it has a frozen watch...just like Discovery did en route to Jupiter.

There were a few minor problems, sure, but that's all part of the learning curve.
