Maybe on the old warp scale.Definitely goes to warp 11.
I envision these vessels as a recreational, hospital, rehabilitation, evacuation vessels... even a few serve as concert halls and venues for theatre arts.
pfff...lol
Alien invader: That's it find the bridge and take over this vessel!
Alien redshirt: (stumbles into the broom closet) : Can't find the bridge!
Alien invader: What do you mean? Earthlings aways have a bridge somewhere inside or on top of those ridicilous saucers!
Alien redshirt: But.. this one has four saucers..

Loving your avatar!
thanks!Loving your avatar!
Beats out the Phlosten Paradise resort ship.
'Twas but a Spinal Tap reference I was making.
Thanks... and aye. Many are passing away so quickly as of late.
I am unfamiliar with that one.
I've never seen that film by him'Twas but a Spinal Tap reference I was making.
It's from The Fifth Element: https://fifth-element.fandom.com/wiki/Fhloston_Paradise?file=FhlostonParadise.png
Oh I do know that ship, just didn't know its name...lol
So, the Morrigi joined the Federation? Or at least some of them.Federation Tranquility-Class:
Poor Atreus must be spinning in his grave fast enough to power a Starship!
Uh, who? And what? I am sorry, but I do not understand the reference.
Note: Please everyone, if you are going to reference something, please cite the reference... Please do not assume everyone knows what you are referring to. Thanks, greatly.
Yeah, I have no clue on that one either…
Yup!
Ah, pity.
Short version is: minorly psychic bird noodle dragons whole have been spacefaring long enough it is evolutionally apparent. Their larger ships look A LOT like that one, to the point it didn't seem coincidence:
(It's a bit hard to see at this angle, but the main hull is bow-shaped and the wingy bits extend fairly far past its trailing edge.)
They're fun and would absolutely fit as a Trek two-parter for Picard to make common cause with "why can't we all just get along" Tokhata the Just in overthrowing the aptly named Atreus the Bloody (whose political platform is basically "only we get to be spacefaring, if you don't like it, we just kill you" and predictably made exactly zero friends.)
When not being led by a genocidal maniac, the Morrigi are exactly the sort of folks who would think the Federation a darn swell idea, so I figured the reference deliberate.
(Edit: they're also exactly the sort of folks who would build a ship dedicated to doing events and other Culture Stuff, with extra uses for other civil utilities; being Very Cultured (especially with novel culture, which the Federation would provide a bounty of) is one of the ways to impress the ladies in their own culture.)

Gotta be honest… “minorly psychic bird noodle dragons” are a string of English words that I truly never expected to experience in my lifetime.
Well done!
Well done!
Thanks for the insight. I have not gamed in decades (I'm a lot older than most people think).Ah, pity.

I do not see the similarity, but if you do, I cannot help that, as that is what you see.
I actually was inspired by Tree Fungi, which stacks in levels. If you guys ever need a great Starbase inspiration, look to Fungi colonies...
