Schematic: Intrepid Class Starship
“Designing the Intrepid” – a closer look at a doodle…
More of a schematic, really! This page will look specifically at something that’s been occupying my thoughts lately: the Intrepid-Class Starship from Star Trek. Now, normally I wouldn’t class myself a fan of star trek…I certainly don’t have a million outfits from the show or a degree in Klingon, but I am a massive science nerd. Whilst I’m not a fan of lasers and such (I prefer dystopia and rationality in my sci-fi…) I can certainly appreciate the scientific background behind the show. And let’s face it; it’s a pretty tasty looking ship! So anyway, I randomly decided to doodle this beasty, in the form of a schematic (almost like how it appears on the ships consoles) rather than a one-off drawing. This page will be done as a ‘Work in Progress’ sort of thing, where you can see the project unfold with lots of pretty pictures! (:
Concept:
This is a brief look at the images I’m going off of to draw the Intrepid Class. I’ve tried to get images that match my proposed ‘schemata’ way of drawing things…top-down images and such :) When undertaking any task (no matter the size) its always a good idea to get at least a few images down to draw inspiration off of!.

Design:
This is gonna be a biggy. I figure the best way to tackle this is to break it down by component, and piece it all together as we go along. For now, I’m going to focus on a ‘top-down’ view of the Intrepid-Class…I think I’ll start with the nacelles and dorsal fins/struts/things!
