I posted it on Fleet Ops forum before, so those who seen it there. I request that you don't look at it as a FO ship here. I want you to look at it as if it was a design for Star Trek itself.
Federation Constellation Class Version III
Variants: Constellation III, Constellation III Torpedo Refit
Length: TBD
Width: TBD
Decks: 21
Warp Nacelles: 4 (2x port, 2x starboard)
Armament:
Saucer:
- 1 Dorsal Fore Phaser Array (ARC: -105; 105)
- 1 Dorsal Fore Phaser Array (ARC: -45; 45)
- 2 Dorsal Phaser Arrays (Located behind Bridge; ARC1: -160; -175; ARC2: 160; 175)
- 2 Dorsal Pulsed-Phaser Turret Racks (3 turrets each; Rack 1 ARC: -130; -145; Rack 2 ARC: 130; 145)
- 3 Ventral Pulsed Phaser Turret Racks (3 turrets each; Rack 1 ARC: -5; 5; Rack 2 ARC: 45; 60; Rack 3 ARC: -45; -60)
- 2 Ventral Phaser Arrays (ARC1: -90; -125; ARC2: 90; 125)
- 2 Torpedo Launchers (Mounted Center Ventral Dome; Loaded with Tri-colbalt torpedo devices [80 torpedoes])
Secondary Hull:
- 2 Dorsal Torpedo Racks (Mounted on Nacelle Pylons; Two launchers per rack; Loaded with Quantum torpedoes [180 torpedoes per rack])
- 2 Ventral Torpedo Racks (Mounted on Nacelle Pylons; Two launchers per rack; Loaded with Quantum torpedoes [180 torpedoes per rack])
- 1 Torpedo Pod (Mounted on the Ventral Secondary Hull Pylon; 4 launchers; Launcher 3 Angle: 60; Launcher 4 Angle: -60)
History: This is a ressurection of the retired Constellation Class. The Constellation II was found to be a catastrophic failure as the prototype was destroyed in high warp from Romulan Spies that stowed away. It was found that they had several structural flaws and tactical errors in the design. With approximately 25 years of complete redevelopment along with applying helpful tactical data based off of Borg and Dominion designs, the Constellation III was born.
This ship was designed with highly efficient warp drive systems inspired by borg technology. And with armaments designed with the Dominion in mind. Torpedoes are the backbone of the vessel's combat strength. With a good mixture of standard and quantum torpedoes to have effective damage in combat. The prototype of the Constellation III; USS Hartford NCC-689661, was recorded to have a maximum warp capacity of 11.995. The prototype also featured an experimental shield system that when at impulse speeds the warp core's energy normally devoted to the warp field is diverted to the shield generators to increase shield strength. However sheild systems are more easily overloaded (disabled) because of the high amount of energy flow. The ship class also features the warp plasma being diverted to the phaser arrays as seen in the first USS Defiant in DS9.
Appearance:
I have been yet to determine a good set of Nacelles. So at the moment, I have neglected to decide. As for the saucer section, I have thought of trying to aim for a 25th Century design. So, I have decided to take some design tips from the Sovereign Class with having windows along the top and bottom of the saucer. I believe that the saucer section may resemble a bit of the newest Federation ship in fleet ops. But of course it would not be exact, it would be much more circular and more armored in appearance on the outer sides (the windowed areas tightly conforming to the vicinity of the bridge). The nacelle pylons would feature the NCC number and the starship name on its flipside. The NCC number on the outer sides and the starship name in the inner sides. The hull pylons would feature the starfleet starship symbol as well as the words "United Federation of Planets" printed on it.
The NCC number is printed on the port side of the saucer with the starship name on the starboard side, both directly next to the deflector.
