Description
The Centaur Class Frigate, is a "Star Trek: Axanar" era design, by me. And is based off of the TNG era Centaur Class.Related content

Ironic how she has the same registry as the Al Burak class Carrier of the same name.

More of a coincidence...Definitely not intentional. Thanks for pointing that out. Neat.

Wow, you've got to be kidding! What are the chances you'd choose the same name AND registry?!
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Actually, it's true. The name, was because it was based off of the TNG era USS Centaur. As far as the registry...I had a very good reason for using it...But it's been a year and a half, and I didn't write it down anywhere. So I can't remember why.

Would a hull of this vintage have RIM-type phaser banks..?
Or was this easier than niggling about with the further-spaced RIN-type phasers?

What do RIM and RIN stand for? I've nev3r seen those terms before.

Ships Of The Star Fleet.
A seminal fanmade catalog of Starfleet craft that started in the late 1980s by cataloging the evolution of both the Heavy Cruiser type and Frigate type of Starfleet vessel. Filled with a thorough application of official-sounding shipbuilding vernacular that hinted as an authorship experienced in RL naval documentation. This publication also contributed the now established fan-cannon Belknap and Akyazi classes.
In these books, RIM is the conjectural series codes for the kinds of "double barrel" phaser banks we see on TMP and WoK-era hulls, mounted in units color-coded to blatantly indicate their presence. These units can be seen on this graphics produced by Our Host and others. RIN is the series code for the two separately-mounted, twin-emitter phaser banks seen on those hulls between the types used on Kirk's ToS starship and the totes-fresh Enterprise class (nee' Constitution refit) seen in TMP.

The RIM type, as in powered directly by the warp engines, aren't seen until the TMP era, when the Enterprise gets the movie refit.
So, we're still dealing with RIN type. And early RIN, at that. As prior to the Kelvin style ships (Prime Universe), the Federation/UESPA still used Lasers and Phase Cannons.
Plenty of room for capacitors when built during war, as you make sure there's room...Even if you have to leave something else out of the design, that would have been there, if built during peace-time

Yes, of course. That's all Ships Of The Star Fleet 101.
But I'm seeing the standard, always-seen-on-the-saucer, "twin-mounted" RIM system in this design, as opposed to the "single-mounted" pairings of the older RINs: still a pair of emitters counting as a single phaser bank, but not mounted in a two-in-one module.
Obviously, the RINs were always rendered as just non-descript blisters on the hull's surface, with no colorings or warning trim. I suppose using the standard RIM graphic element is an easier way to signal phaser bank placement than having folks commenting "Where's da fazers at?".
Is there even a single-mount RIM graphic element available for you to play with?

Not using the era ships these are supposed to represent. As these design elements come from upcoming fan film "Star Trek: Axanar".

wow... once again, I am just in awe of your works Captain... Great job!

Thanks...Took inspiration from you.
I did it, cause I wanted to see it with the forward shuttlebay, and weapons pod.
