Sketch of a ship set in the time between the invention of warp and the series "Enterprise". This ship, similar to the DY-100 class Botany Bay, was refit with warp drive as a cheaper and faster alternative to building a whole new ship.

Colored in GIMP.

Gotta say, I really like how you melded the DY body with warp tech. It doesn't look like it was awkwardly tacked on later, and it retains the retro feel perfectly well. The only thing that does feel a bit awkward is the boxy cargo area with the sensor dish, but it wouldn't be the DY without that box. From this angle the submarine elements of it really stand out, too, and and working underwater is pretty much the same as working in space. You even kept the solar panel things! Love that!

Thanks! I'm not too happy with the deflector area either, but I couldn't come up with anything better. And those "solar panels" are more likely radiators for waste heat from the engines, on both this and the original Botany Bay model.

Love the archaic design of the old DY ships.

Yup, they certainly look ripe for easy modifications, as yours show. Nice concepts!

Cool! (kinda reminds me of my own approach with the Bonaventure ;)).

Makes a lot more sense than the NX class!

Somehow this is so right!
