Ah, my favourite class, though I really don't buy it that it's the same Lexington as the Constitution version, what with the completely different components there's not a single panel shared between the Enterprise class and the Lexington class. Still an interesting bash, though I would give it the Lexington pylons, those Enterprise pylons still look too flimsy for the Kodiak nacelles at that size, and I'd lower the neck a little bit, to make it more of a lead-into the final Lexington class.

BTW from whence did you find that Moonraker Lexington? I've got a ship based on it by him or at least from his parts called the Starlance I think it is, but it's got a cut-out saucer and weird nacelles with a torpedo pod for a secondary hull.
If I determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnacle of military deployment approaches the formless: if it is formless, then the deepest spy cannot discern it, nor the wise make plans against it.

From his site, WZ is hosting Moonrakers SFC 1 and SFC 2/OP ships.

As for my concept, I have been mulling around with one more ship that does get the design closer the Lexington-class. I'll think about doing it and revamping the ships timeline.
