Description Credit to kevinveldar/marcusstarkiller/captshade for the parts (along with any others I may have missed). You guys are awesome to release + upload all that stuff for us to use.

TOS-era design named after the famed explorer John Cabot (or, as he's known in his home country of Italy, Giovanni Caboto). He commanded the first European visits (three of them!) to North America since the Vinland expeditions in viking times under King Henry VII of England. 

Here's a short little design to tide you all over -- basically, just a 'TOS' remake of the Vespucci's "B" variant. I've got a number of large projects coming down the pipe, so hopefully you'll start seeing more of me as time drags on. 
Systems-wise, it's got two large sensor 'cylinders' going clean through the back of the saucer, along with an expanded engineering hull and additional phaser/torpedo/probe mounts near the front. It's shuttlebay has been moved to the traditional engineering-aft section as well, giving a more complete feel to the ship.

More botes coming soon!

Yeah, I had some trouble with that. Either I had to remove the sensor dome on the bottom or i'd have to align the secondary hull equally with the saucer (meaning two straight, wide necks down the side, and that didn't look good at all).

I appreciate the feedback!
