They look nice, although I'm a big fan of the traditional "D7", K'tinga, etc. hull. If the one that is closest to a D7 is supposed to be one, then I miss some of the complexity in the hull. I don't like the style of Next Generation designs much.

All that Next Generation did was to make the ships bigger, since they had to look menacing to an Enterprise that was 10 times the size of the original ship. I like what Atrocities has done. All ships don't need to look menacing; they just HAVE TO BE menacing!! Remember, a book can't be judged by its cover.

Seems to me that the TNG "Galaxy" class Enterprise doesn't look any bigger than the TOS Enterprise, especially because of the glowing rectangles all over it (windows?), which give me the impression of it being about the same size, even though I know (from the Web) it's supposed to be bigger.

At any rate, I quite disagree that "All that Next Generation did was to make the ships bigger". It also changed the style of the ship designs quite a bit. I personally don't like the new aesthetics used after the TOS films. They look computer-generated and lack the flavor of the earlier hull designs, at least to me. I guess some others like them though, so I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.

Thanks for the comments, no one is wrong about the color, I like the blue color of the Vort'Cha class ships and decided to go with that color sceme for a few other ships because it sets them apart.

The shiny reflections are dilibrate lightening effect to cast shadows on the underside of the hull for the fleet image. Kinda like someone took a snap shot as they went buy.

I have considered exporting the files, but they are SUF and not compatible with other programs.
