Love that lower profile ' compact' look and feel . Job well done!

Sad that the Belknap Class wa s forgotten.

I've always loved the underslung Nacelles for some reason

[@nicoferguson1215]

I'm surprised that someone has created it in 3d! I have the Starship Design magazine that has that, and the refit, on my bookshelf, but not many remember it...

[@deoradh]

The refit-era Belknap was my favorite until the Akira and Duderstadt came along. I really like me angry little spaceship. Kinda wonder how you might undersling the nacelles on a Duderstadt, rather than have this boxy spine they jut out of. Maybe a bit like a Franklin.

@nicoferguson1215 She's always in the back of my mind for ships that are different enough to stand on their own but not too far off the beaten path.

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

@deoradh Love the Akira to death. I like most of Bill Krause's designs, but the Dunderstadt just never clicked with me. Were you thinking the Nacelles would come out of the secondary hull instead or just angle downward?

[@robertgriffin662]

Nice! If the belknap class had been TOS!

Excellent work, subscribed 🙏

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

That means a lot! Your channel has been a great inspiration!

[@anthonylowder6687]

Looks like a TOS version of a Belknap class Strike Cruiser

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

Very much so, I love the Belknap! I made her as a kinda prototype that leads to the Belknap's development.

[@mattmettaljus]

Graceful

[@captainoblivious9510]

seriously wicked stuff man, obviously I am no animation or graphics expert, heck I'm not really into star trek even, but this looks amazing!

[@paulburroughs1313]

A very nice design!

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

Many thanks upon you!

[@christiangomez2100]

THIS is what a Starfleet starship should look like for a Star Trek series that is set 10 to 15 years before the original series. The design respects the visual canon.

You baste this class on the belknap class unfortunately using a crappy JJ Abrams saucer section. If you had read the belknap description that you based on the belknap's were never put into operation during the original series time era they didn't come into service until the refitted movies era.

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

It's definitely inspired by the Decatur and Belknap classes, but not supposed to be one. I do have one in the works though, so she'll make an appearance soon. This is my own experimental creation just to see how she would come out, and so I could test different parts and see what I like. The basis for the Appalachia is as a technology demonstrator that would lead into the Belknap's creation, so she's more TOS era like the Decatur concept class.

[@robertgriffin662]

CALM DONW! So what! It's a cool design. More importantly it's NOT REAL,

[@RedneckSpaceman]

Sorry... don't like it👎

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

Thanks for watching regardless
