This is the ship that MOAR was based off of:  The Federation-class dreadnought, which appeared in the old 1975 Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph. As you can see, there was no rear hangar door, and the big dish was considered a 'Main Sensor' which had a twin in the rear. Joseph's plans for the Enterprise showed the big dish as a combination sensor/deflector dish, but on the Federation-class I guess he decided to split them out.

Oh weird, I just assumed there was a rear shuttlebay like on the 1701. That feels like a big 'fire here' weak spot, like the Stargazer's shuttlebay.

Gonna swerve back to starship chat for a second. Has anyone else felt that the starships of Trek have always had this sort of special significance to the show that's unique among SF franchises? I mean, when I was a little kid, it was the ships that got me into Trek. I spent literal years imagining my own ships through drawing, Legos, and video games, and I spent more time than a sane child should looking at places like the Daystrom Institute Technical Library and Bernd Schneider's site. Even back in the '80s, when the TOS movies were coming out, people were publishing actual books that discuss starships with the rigorousness most people would use to discuss WWII surface fleets. Star Wars has done similar stuff, true, but it's never felt the same to me, like all the technology and statistics are just meaningless, even though Trek's statistics are also frivolous. I suppose what I'm getting at is that Trek's ships have always felt like they had a place and a history to me, that they are unique environments but are also part of something greater, both in terms of being part of a fleet and part of a fictional history. It's something you really started to feel more with TNG, when we began to see the world outside the Enterprise and watch ships and crews that were just as important in their own way as Kirk and Picard. This may ultimately be one of the main reasons I've never liked the reboot; to Abrams, the Enterprise is just a big truck the characters ride around in. If it gets blown up, who cares? I do wonder where Trek gets this feature from. My own guess is that TOS is something that was grown out of WWII American military culture, particularly Gene's air career and the way American pilots identified with their planes. Just look at the fight he had with Harve Bennett over destroying the Enterprise in STIII; Gene flew planes in WWII, and took the idea of losing one personally, while Bennett flew choppers in Korea and had the attitude that starships were basically interchangeable.

People don’t love Star Trek just because it’s got wacky aliens. They love it because the wacky aliens bonk each other with goofed-up widgets while a bunch of dunces in matching pajamas yammer on and on as their doors whoosh back and forth, all to make some Dr. Seuss-type point.

There's been an update to the Stage9 project. I messed around with it earlier and the creator hid some neat little easter eggs in it. There's nothing to really do except wander around in some very nicely done sets. It's still loaded with bugs, but the guy working on this has said he's hooked up with more people, and would like to recreate some of the more elaborate Ent-D parts that we never got to see on the show. I took some screenshots, they came out crappy and I forgot to take one of the main bridge in its entirety.     Album If you just want to watch the guy talking about this and going through the maps, watch this (turn your volume down): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O_h9zOd098

A Star Trek game where you are an Ensign straight from the academy and have to find tasks to do or pretend to do so around the ship you don't get sent down on an away mission where you will inevitably die. Your goal is to become vital enough to the running of the ship or the bridge's officers themselves that you don't get drummed out of Starfleet.
