Dropped Designs

These ship sketches have been discussed at the ASDB, but were dropped in favor of competitive designs.

Challenger (1)   Refined by Bernd	Length: 315m	This version of the Challenger class appeared in a TNG comic in 1991. It was previously believed that this is actually the design of the USS Buran as seen at Wolf 359.		Angled view		Side view redrawn by Kris
Challenger (2)  Design by Jonah	Length: 471m Beam: 348m Draft: 66m 20 decks Crew: approx. 500	Jonah takes into account the registries given for the Challenger class, and he makes the ship a pre-Galaxy era design, anticipating the warp nacelle style, for instance. The depicted sketches are meant as a guide for a computer rendering.		Oblique view		Top view
Chimera (1) Design by Jason	Length: 482m Crew complement: 276 First commissioned 2357			Top and side view
Korolev (2) Design by J	Heavy cruiser			Side, top and front view		Cross-section
Sequoia (2) Design by Dan	Medium cruiser	The Sequoia is a design of the 2360's, showing typical design features of the Galaxy class as well as more recent designs such as the Prometheus.		3D design (nacelles to be added)
Istanbul (2) Design by Dan	Transport Length: 450m Beam: 219m Height: 82m Decks: 18 Crew Complement: 55 Passenger Complement: 2000 Cruising speed: Warp 6 Max. cruise: Warp 7.5 Max. speed: Warp 8.2	The Istanbul is capable of carrying a complete first set of supplies to begin a colony on a Class-M planet where no terraforming is required. The design uses four nacelles because of the large cargo capacity. The engines can also be configured to use only two at a time, in case of damage or stress to one or two nacelles.		Top and side view
Istanbul (3) Design by Jason	No specs available			Top and front view
Istanbul (4 and 5) Designs by Jason	No specs available	These are still two more designs for our former "problem ship". The problem is that the Istanbul as a transport ship is rather not supposed to look sleek and elegant like a "real" starship, on the other hand, we don't want just an enlarged version of the Sydney or Erewhon class.		Version 4		Version 5
Istanbul (6 and 6a) Designs by Jason	No specs available	Still two more of them.		Version 6		Version 6a
Merced (2) Design by Chris	Length: 324m Beam: 186m Height: 72m			First sketches		Orthographic views by Harry

Rigel (1) Design by Jason	No specs available	This Rigel version follows very basic specs from previous fan descriptions (Galaxy saucer, three nacelles), but ignores the ridiculous detail that the ship was supposed to have a Constitution class engineering hull.		Various views
Springfield, Rigel (2) Designs by Jason	No specs available	Two vessels that could have been at Wolf 359. The upper ship could be a Springfield-class (although there is a design known by now), the lower one a Rigel-class ship.		Various views
Bradbury (2) Design by Christian	Explorer Length: 475m Beam: 265m Height: 92m Decks: 22 Mass: 3.075Mt Crew: 420 Max. cruise: Warp 9.6 Max. speed: Warp 9.8	More about this design here		3D view
Bradbury (3) Design by Jonah	No specs available			Orthographic views
