red alert! red alert!

a few things on this ship scare me... namely the ability to be everywhere in the universe simultaneously AND some. lootra... star trek ships dont go warp 10 ok? and they certainly dont go OVER it.

now i am in no way bashing ur design. as you can see i have several ship design awards that you can also obtain... if you practice this art of ship design.

a few pointers i can give you for MSpaint would be:

holding shift while drawing with a line or pencil will make a straight vertical, horizontal, or oblique (slanted) line. this also works for the curved line but why? noone knows.

moving on.

ship design requires a keen eye and sound judgement. if you watch the show or play any of the games, you can see that most if not all federation ships have the nacelles in a 'clear' area where the saucer doesnt block it. sticking the nacelles ramscoops directly behind the saucer (from what i can see on ur drawing) isnt such a good idea. ramscoops collect some kinda particle... oh i forget the name but im sure sum1 here knows... and it makes the ship move. so it cant be blocked. on another note, from the sleekness of the contouring of the ship i would think the nacelles would be integrated into the hull as on the defiant.

the crew compliment should be larger. a small increase of about 300 should do it nice. (405, minimum 50)

the ship class name... doesnt really compliment the departmental class. president sounds like more of a diplomatic type cruiser than a heavy attack ship. but im just nit picking now. i hate nit pickers... ;)

good points: good size. the decks fit the specs and it looks like your decks are pretty even. bridge on deck one standard federation design.

i like the ships contour. but u need more views and some exteriors not just an interior.

not overly powerful which is good becuz fed ships arent supposed to be offensive but defensive ships.

i think i covered most of it. overall i like the design. i can see this going somewhere if you really put some time into it.

...also the flip and rotate options are really useful.

lootra, on Tethys' post: If I may direct you to this site on warp field theory, you will find that the Bussard Ramsoops are to collect free hydrogen in space, which "can be put through the portable antimatter generator to make antihydrogen". They do need to have free space in front of them in order for their magnetic field collectors to function in this regard.

 Why, to give you the "particle" that Tethys couldn't recall, that's why! Hydrogen!
