Here's a sneak peek at the exterior of my revised Aquarius Class. It'll be assigned to the USS Odyssey, and I haven't decided on the name yet, so I worked up ship markings for five options: Theseus (the joke being that the escort ship regularly gets heavily damaged in battle scenarios & thus has lots of parts replaced after each engagement - it's my current favorite option), S'Harien (legendary Vulcan blacksmith from Diane Duane's Vulcan & Romulan-centric Star Trek novels, which have had some of the material make their way into the Star Trek Online Romulan storylines), Scylla (Greek mythological monster), Circe (Greek goddess featured in Homer's "The Odyssey"), & Aries (playing off the name of the class, Aquarius, coming from the western zodiac).

All I have left is working out how the nacelle interior is laid out to accommodate the forward/aft-ward movement of the nacelles relative to their flight & docked modes. I have the pylons figured out (telescoping from fixed points anchored to the frame), put I just have to draw the interior of the nacelles themselves. Once that's done all I have to do is make the symbol sheet, split the material up into individual sheets & work up labeling. But I'm curious what folks think of the ship names.
