Will be texturing in the next few days  

[E_Look]

Without reference points, I can't tell what class (size) it is.  Nice shape... but how big (or small) is it?

[J. Carney]

Lemmie guess,...

Frigate, right?

I say that 'cause the impulse engines are so far aft. I think that they'd be farther forward on a bigger ship.

I like it, I like it...

How many polys (just curious)?

[wanderer]

From the size of the bridge module, I'm guessing light cruiser? Interesting that you have the impulse deflection crystal on a TOS style ship. Perhaps this ship was the test bed for that technology?

The only thing that is making me scratch my head a little is the thin hull aft of the impulse drive.

An interesting design.    

[starforce2]

looks to be the start of a decent looking ship.

[Sandman3D]

Another great lookin' pre-TOS style design!! I'm goin' with Frigate also.  

[Toasty0]

Frigate? Pretty large nacells to saucer ratio. Maybe a police or scout.

Seriously though it looks like one tough little Frigate or Police ship could even be a Gun Cutter for that matter. I dig the originality of the design.Manitoba can have THIS ONE first but I get it second   j/k

me third :P

I was thinking it would be an escort Destroyer/very light cruiser, Maybe this is the largest police ship available a Police Light Cruiser. For patrol in settled systems where a capitol ship is not needed but where a larger ship would be a good idea. Say along an unsettled internal border  Vulcan/Andorian?  Tellerite/Edoan?  who knows.
The thin area aft of the impulse was just a thought i think i will make it thick enough to be an actual deck.  

[111wallace111]

It's about 9000 poly's right now. I haven't optimized her yet.

[Azel]

AWESOME!!!!
 
Police cruiser  

[J. Carney]

About time someone gave the MP Corps some decent equipment!

Do you play SFB? IF so, the Early Years heavy cruiser woud be a good place to look for how to arm her (after you update it a bit):
6xPhaser-1's (heavy cruiser arcs)
2xPhoton Torpedos (FA arc)

Of course, she'd nead at least 1 rear-firing phaser and a couple of drone racks.

Great ship- I'm definately gonna get this one!

[111wallace111]

here is the most recent side ant aft quarter view.

The thin area is thick enough to be a deck perhaps this is the police training facility.  

[Sandman3D]

OOHHH, OOOHHH!!! I know, I know, it's a helicopter landing pad!! J/K!!  

[manitoba]

MP's dont need anything this fancy. all they do is go around making trouble for some of us enlinsted and officers. ( ex-squid here) thats a story for another time.  i was thinking like escort duties for this baby. kinda like state police are like.  perchance ur ship is somewhat like my DEWEY class. http://michaelmccauley.fotopic.net/c185669.html lol

I love the idea !!!! A border patrol Police Light Cruiser.Like 111wallace111 suggested when you don't need a capital ship. Think of this as a  Mobile Police Station  perhaps she carries PFT's and Ftrs that patrol like squad cars.Perhaps even a SWAT team. How's that for an idea? As for class......How about  F-PCL  ? She could have Fed security force markings on the hull.That long area near the shuttlebay could be where the PFT's are parked ( like fighters on a carrier deck ) one row on either side of the rampway that leads to the shuttle hanger. Stuff to consider.
