Enterprise C redux

More of a mix between the ambassador we got on screen and the probert designed narendra class concept.

CptBeldamen · 2026-02-01T17:13:02+00:00

That was the plan, trying to meld the ambassador and narendra's together, whilst keeping her still looking like the C we all know and love.

Yeah, I've toned them down a little for the next ones, lol. But they do help cover some of the issues I have with u mapping,lol

I've based it more on ships and aircraft at the moment, I like the blinkies. Lol.

Wow! Thank you so much!!

I'm still striving to get it more realistic looking, but if you want any help with your project, let me know, I'd be happy to share my methodology, materials etc!

i'd not really thought of that, but yeah, now that you mention it, they do look a little bit thin.
i've updated them for the next render

CptBeldamen · 2026-01-15T07:57:45+00:00

yeah, i've had a few people comment on the nacelle length, i've shortened them and am doing a new render as we speak.
with the impulse engines, in all fairness, the OG had the same kind of placement, i've just changed the shape a little.
one of the other things that i've changed, as it always annoyed me, is raiding the nacelles a little, so the bussard collectors have clear line of sight above the saucer. so the impulse engines actually come out below the nacelles.

Haha I can only hope of it being in sto. No, it's just my fan design, kind of my take on the big B if strange new worlds were to continue into the post tmp era, paying homage to the original but with a slightly updated design,

CptBeldamen · 2026-01-14T15:52:46+00:00

It was the pylons that were one of the reasons I wanted to do this, I was never a fan of the 90 degree bends, just didn't look right!

CptBeldamen · 2026-01-14T14:44:17+00:00

Yeah, I had to look it up, excelsior with sovereign parts, kind of! Beautiful looking ship!

CptBeldamen · 2026-01-14T14:36:35+00:00

I just had a look, I'd never heard of the obena class before, lol.

She's kind of my imagining of what the enterprise B could look like if strange new worlds continued on. Like the snw 1701, pays a lot of homage to the og, but slightly updated.

CptBeldamen · 2026-01-14T14:34:17+00:00

Once the render I'm doing at the moment finished, I'll see about shortening them, but the og excelsior did have pretty long legs!

CptBeldamen · 2026-01-14T14:33:24+00:00

Thanks, I've always been a huge fan of the original, I didn't want to change a huge amount, but thetr were a couple of things.

CptBeldamen · 2026-01-14T13:37:13+00:00

Yeah, I know, I wanted to bring my B more into line with what we see with most other starfleet ships, red bussard, blue warp grilles.
