Well, I tried. Can't really call it a success, but I thought I'd share anyway.

It looks great IMHO. She does fly, barely. She's not very maneuverable, and she's a tiny-bit unstable (by that, I mean really unstable).

But if nothing else, she can just look good.

Take-off requires a lot of speed. Just be patient and hold the stick back.

Happy Flying! (I hope :P )

    @A5mod3us I don't mind an intrepid. The alternative is a Prometheus class-like ship, the above and below nacelles would balance the COT right.

    @LjSpike Would you be okay with an Intrepid class instead? I'm not a big fan of the NX-01, personally.
    .
    The biggest problem is going to be balancing the thrust. If we put the engines on the nacelles, the COT is going to be really high...

    @A5mod3us nothing above warp 1 pretty certainly. I was thinking the new turbofan modded to be much more powerful, and fusilage pieces for lots of fuel...then some shape like the NX-01 Enterprise or something. Reasonable size though

    Hey, I was thinking about making a 'warp capable' ship. (Aka very fast)! Want to help?
