Description
After some time away, I finally got round to completing Chris Madden's Enterprise-F concept, the Dedication class.Β
Rendered in 3DS Max Mental Ray with some compositing in Photoshop; the background was also done in Photoshop.

Highly mind-savouring design concepts! Love the sleek graceful features, including the new white colour of the bussards, giving it a newer livery than the traditional red and blues of the Federation warp engines. She still has strong references to the Constitution refit which I can see why you might have done so: the Connie is the most original ship in Star Trek.
This Enterprise here certainly looks more modern than the Enterprises we are used to. I bet you she was very much established on the interior. Wonder what era she was launched in. May be the late 24th century or somewhere in the 25th century. Wonder what shes armed with? Pulse phaser arrays? Quantum torpedoes? Wonder what propulsion drive she has? Quantum slipstream drive maybe.
I have high regards for this ship and to be honest, sheβs one of the most elegant ships Iβve ever seen.

It's stuff like this that makes me sad they never moved forward in time with the franchise only back. That's a great design

This ship is both beautiful and majestically worthy of the name. It invokes memories of the Enterprise-A and with how sleek the ENTERPRISE-E was. Β Sure this is a concept and I'd love to see multiple views of her FORE, AFT, DORSAL, VENTRAL. Β This would make a great class for a PBEM.Β

The Enterprise-D design was meant to be majestic. The E design was meant to be sleek. Of all the fan-made starship classes that are meant to be enterprise material, Madden's Dedication is the only one that's equally both.
I won't quite call it perfect, but almost. With only two slight mods, the Dedication-class would be the most absolutely perfect design possible for a new Enterprise. The first is make the pylon's thicker. That's one thing I despised about the TOS Enterprise, The saucer and nacelles looked like they'd snap right off with the slightest nudge. And I actually would make it bigger. Not too big, but bigger than Madden's original.

Agreed, the pylons look a bit fragile imo. Maybe make them a bit shorter, too.
It'd be interesting to see more angles of this ship, especially side view would be interesting.

A nice concept actually but a little closer to the J in my opinion with the slender design you used.
The Odyssee might be the F - and its an awesome ship in STO this could well make a H or I - Version of it

This ENT-F - and also the whole scene - rocks. Very cool.

Thanks very much! It was inspired by the original 2D concept art.

Like some of my meshes.
I love to see very good 2D concept arts later as fantastic 3D meshes.

That is amazing, to say the least.
Maybe this could be a later Enterprise, like the "I" or something.

Nice work.. Now you need to get Google sketch up and make a 360Β° model of it..(2015 version.. Maker)

perfect mesh and rendering, beautiful picture, to me this is the true enterprise e, just amazing

How could they have chosen the Odyssey over this? This is jaw-droppingly beautiful and one of the very best designs I've seen in all of Trek. This is a true and worthy successor to the famed and beloved Enterprise Refit!

This was hands down my favorite submission to the contest.

Awesome Mark! Your mesh brings the Dedication class trully to life.

Absolutely beautiful, the slim and sleek design is SO sexy!

I am really not fan of the 'bigger is better' idea, I absolutely hated the Enterprise-J, however I love this design. This has beautiful lines, one of the best 'classic' Enterprise designs I have seen in a long time. You truly have a great talent for design!

Now that's a ship worthy of for great captains!

Cant wait for the further pictures

I was curious as to the scale of this ship? Β Any chance of seeing an orthographic picture of it next to other known classes?

Looks like you went with a Constitution-Refit look mashed with the Sovereign class. This I like

Great work!
Was this one of the submissions for the Enterprise-F competition they had for Star Trek Online?Β Feels like I've seen it before.

I thought so.Β Thanks.

Wow, quite interesting. It seems to pick up some elements from the Ent-A.

Are you going to make this open to download like your other ships?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure yes, that's the plan

Wow! Awesome render. This is probably the best Enterprise-F design I've seen thus far. Granted, it has its issues (not big on the "duck butt" engineering section or the '50s tailfin nacelles), but she is definitely worthy "E" successor. Great Job!
