I think the greebly over the back end of the neck is made for the temporal visuals. The bridge module and warp nacelles both heavily draw from the Buran-class. I get the impression the ship is much more built around the neck than its predecessor. The deflector is tiny, making it look like the belly is also very flat, but I honestly don't have a good enough PoV to feel comfortable making a critique on that level. It's very busy detail-wise.Īnother thing the 25c Crossfield seems to have missing are the corridors the Summerville (and 23c Crossfield) had, making the gap in the saucer this huge U-shaped hole (making it more like the Scryer than the Crossfield) with no way foot traffic can get through. I think the way the 25c Crossfield's saucer is designed is clever, but it seems to lose a lot of the Summerville's beautiful domed shaped that reflections would play over in favor of a lot of techy visual noise. Also, the Origin bridge has a window so, why does the 25c Crossfield lose its visible bridge window? I don't understand why the deflector is so diminutive, when Cryptic's design bible calls for science ship to have proeminent ones. But now that I see it, there's stuff in the design that I can't relate to. I always envisioned a 25c Crossfield would look amazing since kitbashing the Summerville and Edison seemed like what it would end up looking like. I kind of love-and-hate this model at the same time.
