Unusual design. What purpose or functiion does the large structure sticking out from the keel serve/perform?
BTW, "ugly" was not my first thought although "ungainly" was. Oh and FYI, when I was involved in the "Starfleet" club/organization I was the first person to gain membership in the "Corps Of Starfleet Engineers" by challenging the qualifying/entrance exam as opposed to taking the online course and taking the exam as the course final. I am not unlearned/unknowledgeable as regards treknology.
If you find the description "ungainly" to be as offensive as "ugly", I invite you to attempt to carry out your threat.

To be honest, this looks like it could be be beginnings of the starbases/space docks becoming mobile.

i think it's a fine design and a very cool render.

Ooohhhhh...wouldn't want that, but she's a bit of an oddball. What's she called?

Β Sure she isn't sleek as a Sovereign class, but that doesn't necessarily means she isn't majestic like a Galaxy class (though not as much).Β
It definitely helps the design's case that the modeling work is outstanding!

It works well as a Star Trek ship; one of the things I always liked about Star Trek, (prior to DS9's Defiant and the Enterprise-E) is that the ships weren't "streamlined" in a way that made sense from an aircraft or water-craft point of view; they were "sleek," but in a slightly alien or unconventional manner, which added plausibility to the idea of a faster-than-light spacecraft; a ship designed for warp drives *should* look alien and exotic, not like a boat, or a rocket or an airplane.
This design has that look in abundance; very cool.Β

Sweet design! Love the change from the conventional while still maintaining a Starfleet feel.
I wonder what a good dual-saucer vessel would look like.... hmmm.

No not ugly! However, it does have a touch of Star Wars about. In any case i like the design of the pylon and the escape pods in it. Good work.

Hope no one ever has to land it on a planet, unless they aim for seawater it's gonna be one heck of a balancing act!

I love this, the only problem is i think the secondary hull isnt wide enough. Seems like the lowest decks wouldnt have room for much of anything, the design is nice though.

Then i realize its just an angled hull

Beautiful, gives me a , if the Federation met the Minbari kinda vibe.

This is very nice. I think it's the first design I've seen with a non-traditional secondary hull.

yeah now that you mention it... I can't un-see it. it is a little B-wing-esque

Surely not ugly, extremely cool, but...unusual!

when the federation battleship made it's appearance in combat it scared the hell out of the klingons and the romulans, I'd love to see the chaos this beauty would cause them

at first glance, i thought it was a starbase, but when i looked closer i see that its a ship. its kinda ahead of its time tho i'd say.... 2380's (about 100 years ahead of TMP) looks good tho... just takes getting used to?

Regardelss of whether it's ugly or not one can't deny it's creative and original. At first glance the design reminded me of the STAP from Star Wars.

Awesome vision! She may be unorthodox in desing, but has its charm.

It's... it's... it's new and I'm drawn to it! Do you have any Spec?

Lol, actually, she IS dead ugly. But I still love it, because it's a very imaginative design and she's a definite eye catcher.

intreguing design... similar to the B-wing starfighter [link]

Reminds me of the Zann Consortium's Vengeance class frigate... [link]

I don't think this belongs in the TMP era category.
