Here's the starship and uniforms
Funny story: the original model doesn't have an underside, because they guy was like, "Ehn, I know what angle I'm showing, I don't got to built the rest."
I really love that design though. Along with the Excelsior, BoP and Oberth it really shows the benefits of a 3d-early approach.
It's so funny to read that someone else was considering retconning the Daedalus-class out in favor of the redesigned NX-class. I seriously considered that as well until I saw the post- Romulan War Enterprise novels...
Of course, if the Columbia-class is made of the refitted NX-class vessels, that still leaves me with a problem: I hate the Daedalus-class. I think it looks stupid, and - from a design perspective - it makes no sense (i.e. saucer vs. sphere). Who else uses a spherical section like that? Nobody.
So, I want to replace the Daedalus-class with something else, but not just anything. Frankly, I am not sure that I think the Daedalus-class should follow the path laid out by Earth Starfleet beginning with the NX-class [refit, at least]: saucer section attached to an engineering hull, preferably with two sweeping warp nacelles.
I was considering something more like the Oberth-class as a intermediate step between the Columbia-class and the others that followed after. The Oberth-class diverges somewhat, but still has the saucer section that I think most Starfleet vessels should have.
Of course, I have been gone a long time, so maybe I don't know what the heck I'm talking about anymore! ;)
