An alternate take on the Federation Class TOS Era Dreadnaught. I never liked the backwards-facing deflector dish and kind of goofy saucer shape, so I fixed it. The ship now has:
-5 phaser banks dorsal and ventral
-fore and aft shuttlebay are aligned so a shuttle can fly straight through if needed, aiding in launch and recovery at the same time.
-saucer has the same top protrusion instead of the cut-in of the Constitution, allowing more internal volume
-Bridge complex has dual turbolifts and an officer's lounge, the prototype for the one on the Constitution Refit.
-Saucer can separate and maintain warp with its nacelle.
-Photon Torpedo launchers relocated to the neck, giving more internal volume in the saucer for crew and equipment (I never liked phasers and torpedoes coming from the exact same spot every episode...it's like the Enterprise only have 1 phaser bank, so if an enemy hung out behind the ship, it could always avoid being hit)
-Secondary Hull resized in the fore view
-Saucer resized in all views to match
-third nacelle got the inner greeble detail on top which was missing from the base image I used to start the project.
