USS Enterprise NCC 1701-F

The Enterprise 1701-F first pic of its final render has been released.

This was a fan contest held by Cryptic and CBS for Star Trek Online. The winner, Adam Ilhe, created a pretty bold looking design. It has 2 necks!!

I think it's turned out really beatiful, though I do have some nit-picks.

Looks decent enough, I suppose.

I've actually warmed to the idea of the twin necks. I found the E to be very aggressive looking without the neck, so it's nice to see them go back to having the neck, only this time, it's not a structural weak point. Remember that Jem'Hadar ship that flew into the USS Odyssey? It went straight for the neck.

Interestingly, this is actually called an Odyssey Class Starship. It's larger than both the Galaxy and the Sovereign.

Therein lies the problem for me. My nitpicks are mainly about the perception of the ships size. It has very large parts. The deflector dish, the impulse engines, the suttlebay and the windows along the outside of the necks.

They are all very big, which makes the structure of the ship look small.
