Here is my redo on the Makur class. It was intended as a replacement for both the Galor and the Keldon, and sits somewhere between them in total mass, but has better armor, is faster, and has a better weaponry layout. She is slightly less menuverable than the Galor, slightly more than the Keldon.
The main difference in this ship is the extreme upgrade to armor protection around the warp core, a known defect in the Galor class. Almost all Cardassian ships are designed for deep space operations, and this ship is no exception. It carries a full crew, and all of the sensors needed for solo missions.
The other notable improvement is the bridge module. Originally the Galor and the Keldon had a seperable bridge module, but the docking apparatus quite often failed, proving fatal for the crew. The CU solved this problem by actually retrofitting a Veron class scout with a recess plate on the ventral hull, allowing it to dock with the ship. The Veron is fully functional when separated, with its own armament and warp capability, allowing the ship an added quotient of firepower in seperation mode when needed.
This mesh still needs alot of work, but I wanted to post the progress sofar. I originally designed it differently, but Wicked Zombie's Cardassian design inspired me to redesign here in the fashion shown below. His work, as always, is superb.
At any rate, here is the progress sofar.
