Description
Well, I've decided to try my luck reproducing some existing schematics before moving into original stuff.This is the Merced-Class designed by Mike from ASDB. You can see more info (as well as the original schematics) here:Β www.trekships.org/merced.htm
I've changed some details and made it in my own style. I'm not sure about adding more details (like paneling) or if that's overkill. Be honest, what do you think?
Not entirely happy with the aft view, but I was very limited in what to do given the other views. :/
Made with Inkscape

Β The ASDB designs really aren't given as much attention as they should be.
Β Whether or not I myself would have wanted to do more details like paneling would depend on whether or not I was lazy, or had better things to do. I would have added at least one aft dorsal phaser bank, because I feel that the design's weapons coverage is a bit lacking aft-wards.Β

Yeah, it is clearly wasn't a ship designed for frontline action, however I wouldn't have added something that specifically contradicts the ASDB original drawings, so I wouldn't go for another phaser bank on the dorsal view.

Β Since she's a Frigate, I was under the impression she was meant for patrol and escort duty (including front line), but that's my opinion.

I'm honored my old ship design is still around, thanks for breathing new life into her! Β

It's a great design, and I'm glad you like what I've done with it.

Superb! I know this is going to be self deluding, but did you base the back off from a pic I did ?
Not bothered if you did....

Thank you!
Haha, actually I wanted to base the shuttlebay area in your picture, but I was very constrained given the lines of the other views, so in the end I had to discard that idea.

I understand - but good work regardless

To be honest I prefer your version, I don't like the narrow shuttlebay.
When I do the 3D version (at least I plan to do it), it'll definitively draw more inspiration from your image.

When you do, please let us know - I will be a rather chuffed bunny about that

I've always liked the Merced Class, it felt like cheap Excelsior variant designed to replace the Connie.Β
I would avoid panelling as it can make it look very cluttered. As long as you have hull lines, windows etc you're good.Β

Yeah, it's a pretty cool little design, obviously I like it very much as well. Thanks for the feedback!

Think it looks fine as it is. No need to add more panels since, like you said, it would be overkill

Thanks for the feedback my friend! Apparently this is the consensus, so I'll stick to what you say.

Smart move. Looking forward to what you create next
