Romulan Thrai Dreadnought Warbird (STO) 

I really wish they had the opposite side painted on the top

You would have a valid point *IF* drag existed in space.

Nebulas, planetary atmospheres , saving materials during construction....maximizing energy efficiency for warp bubbles and shield size vs how much stuff is inside the shielded zone Oh and on a side note, if you think atmospheric drag should be planned around, what about the shockwaves and explosive plasma from weapon hits? Maybe being designed in certain patterns expands potential to survive the first couple mines or hits it takes incase they are fighting a race not as advanced as themselves

Original script dialogue for "The Balance of Terror" indicated Federation officers strongly believed the Romulans had stolen Federation designs. This is further supported by dialogue indicating Romulan design was far behind Federation design at the point where they last had contact. This is reportedly the premise going forward when they designed the Romulan BOP. It's probably safe to say the similarity was not meant to be coincidental.

@@maxissixam6049 it dose actually. But that’s not the reason for not using a sphere. A sphere has a greater surface area making it easier to target and hit with weapons meaning it’s impractical for a warship. Which is why saucers are used. But in a more practical use cones would be better for warships.

You mean the T'Liss and the D'deridex?

@@theharbingerofconflation Yes.

@@ianentwistle5052 maybe they'll make this ship canon at some point

@@theharbingerofconflation I think it's worthy of becoming canon.

@@ianentwistle5052 They could have it show up in Strange New Worlds.

The0rion yes! This! The atlas is my favorite ship in the game! I have several of that class. I have one of these thrai dreaddy and two d9 for my kdf toons

The Atlas-class is okay, though... I think it would probably be better if the bussard collectors were less obscured by the primary hull.

Dude you are space rich! I'm jealous

I've got one, it's totally worth it.

Raphael Bonanno I still use mine, it’s a tank! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qfPfe7wzqDs.html

or exchange.

Either way it's hard to get

I was thinking the same. I believe there is a romulan ship that looks very similar, but it's meant to be a frigate or something

Eh romaluns are known for taking designs from their enemies to see if they are useful

The way it's designed it looks like it should. By looking at it the escape pods on the dorsal area on the main body of the ship could be for the engineering crew, with the saucer being for the rest of the command crew, troops and so on. However that goes against the philosophy of the Romulans we see in TOS, where they refuse to be taken prisoner. You could suppose that could be in the event of a singularity malfunction. No point in sacrificing the crew over a technical problem. If you were to modify the design a bit I could see this as a troop Carrier or colony ship. In a troop transport role you would leave the stardrive in orbit and have the saucer section descend to the planet to disembark troops. Remember at this time in the timeline it would take considerable time to beem down the same volume of troops. In a colony ship role it would be much the same idea but the saucer section would stay on the planet as a building. The stardrive section could then go back and pick up a second and third and so on saucers for the colony. It could even work in wartime with it providing the role of a planetary base during ground campaigns and such. So many possibilities from one design! Btw did I mention I love this design?

Model Minutes If you play as a romulan in STO you probably know about her.
