U.S.S. Daedalus re-image

As an excercise, an old, uninspired, and frequently maligned design for a precursor to the famous "Starship Enterprise" of Star Trek fame was re-imaged to better match the revised technological and visual canon from the prequel series "Enterprise."

Intended to fall somewhere between the "NX-01" of the current series and the Enterprise of 1970's fame, the "Starship Daedalus" needed to respond to both the super-detail of the contemporary design and the simplicity of the classic. Also part of the challenge was refining the relatively gross lines of the original Daedalus design without departing significantly from the original structural arrangement.
