Description I designed this ship as a mash up of The Expanse and Star Trek.  What would the TOS Enterprise look like if it was more of a hard sci-fi starship.

In place of the saucer section is the drum section, which contains the living quarters arranged in a rotating ring at the widest point inside the ship allowing rest and relaxation even while the ship is stationary.  The rest of the ships decks are arranged like a skyscraper with deck 1 at the "front" of the ship to allow for gravity simulation via linier acceleration (The living quarters reconfigure for linier acceleration).  There are 4 dome laser pairs, 2 fore/top & 2 aft/bottom of the drum section as well as 4 missile/probe launch tubes at the front/top of the ship.  This is also where the deflector is housed and the main sensor dome.  The hanger bay is located in the middle of the ship and houses a couple of small landing craft.  Below the hanger bay is the warp core powering the ship and feeding the nacelles and below that, the fusion core feeding a pair of fusion rockets at the aft/bottom of the ship.
