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.Continuing with my trend of flying saucers is this ship, a 23rd-century remake of the Bonaventure from Star Trek: Enterprise legend. Like it's predecessor design, the main deflector dish is mounted in a 'bulge' of the saucer section, with most of the crew and engineering space in an extended 'carriage' near the aft of the ship. The nacelles are widely spaced and flat, giving the ship a low profile. As well, the addition of two more forward phaser banks and the conversion of two auxiliary deflectors into torpedo tubes round the class out in terms of roles. Though intended for long-term exploration, it can fill almost any need required while in service.
One more to go! It's rather an odd duck, but I think you'll like it.

Good! I like odd! I really don't want to release the same Excelsior kit over and over again.

Glad you like it!
I took a look at your Kongo-class after you commented, it seems very similar -- long and sleek profile, especially with the nacelles. That's what I was aiming for.

well, the aim for me and my Kongo Classes were simple make a Battleship for the Federation, my comparison show the old and new Kongo and Kongo Kai Classes:
the top ones of both are the orginal before being overhauled with Nichodo's parts based around my original.
