Honestly, she looks Tholian to me right now.

Obviously you just got started, so I'm just making a first impression observation, not a critique.

Let's see some more pics!

Erm, well actually that's what the SFB Hydran destroyer looked like, a totally [I wont say cuz it's not politically correct] design but that's what they came up with. And ofcourse it looks nothing like the other Hydrans except the frigate. In any case it doesn't really look Tholian IMO as all the Archeo-Tholians have the same trefoil shape whereas this is a flattened diamond shape. Still ugly but...

Keep up the good work Khalee

I was thinking more specifically of the Tholian ships that appeared in TOS.

I'm not real familiar with SFB designs so those connections are usually lost on me.

Archeo-Tholians are the ones from TOS - three-pointed diamonds in a 120 degree arrangement. In SFB the Tholian Holdfast was basically stranded in our galaxy with only one shipyard which could only produce PCs - Patrol Corvettes which are the basic TOS Tholian ships. Eventually they figured out they could weld together the hulls of the PCs to produce larger ships and then came up with the Feldspar CL Akkrev CA and Tarantula DN (the DD was just a PC with better weaponry.) The Archeo-Tholian PC, CA and DN can be seen on this page: http://www.starfleetgames.com/minis/miniatures.htm along with the Neo-Tholian CA and DN. Hope that helps some.

You have some serious Trek knowledge there, Lestat!

When I go home tonight, I'll take a look at the link.
