From the early 1990's to the early 2000's, I designed several ship classes, mostly of Starfleet. Everything in this section is non-canon. But I was careful to fit the new designs into the timeline (as it was valid at the time) and into the registry scheme. What you won't find here is fanboyish überships with overblown armament or with all kinds of extra pods or nacelles. Note that no new ships are planned. I will leave the design of starships to better artists.

I made my starship drawings with Micrografx Designer 4/6/8, and unfortunately there is no possibility to convert them to newer formats without extreme information loss. But I can provide larger bitmap image files if requested. If you are interested in designing starships, you should check the Technical Support about using drawing software and my Starship Design Guidelines with rules for what may be considered good starship design.
