Dalek: Maybe it's bigger on the inside...  :roll

If thats the case then the Eclipse might as well be a shuttle. :P
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

only way I can see this working is if it were about 2 decks....

There isn't any sitting space, not without kneeling on the floor. There need to be some major adjustments made to make it seem possible to sit and walk around and if that does happen, it'll look like a bus.

And while you're at it, you could "round" the aft Section a bit, that way it would look much more reminescent to a Sacharow Shuttle IMO.

And it IS Cute Shuttle, indeed  :P

Maybe it is. Maybe people average ten feet tall in the future. :p

Who said that it has to have a window, it would make sense to have a viewscreen the window is just a panoramic camera
the deflector might not be that long, the crew could sit back a meter or so, you would just have to lengthen it by 1.5 meters or so, and the back needs to be rounded off abit.  :P :P :P :P

It stands to reason that by the time the shuttle is developed Starfleet has been able to reduce the size of the basic components of a deflector array. They've had miniture warp cores for shuttles and runabouts since the 2360s not to mention smaller shield generators and torpedos tubes.

DJ I love the shuttle and good thinking using the Eclipse mesh itself to develop it. Keep up the good work sir. I want to build a new PC just to fly the Eclipse!

Not if DJ keeps up his poly-cutting, low texture memory usage ways. :D

This ship will require only about 40% as much memory out of your graphics card as the Enterprise F.

Wowee, that looks fantastic!  Now I'm assuming that you're moving on to scripting?

Looks sweet DJ, the specs add so much more dimension.

One thing, would you consider making the reg light a bit longer, it currently looks nice but it also seems somewhat... cut off.

Just a small quip, she's a real beauty Captain  :D
