The Squorpion Class was designed and built c. 2393 to replace the Sovereign Class in it's battle leading position as modern technology was rendering it unfit to be a true battle cruiser. The ship was designed to combat mainly Battle Ships/Battle Stations, and slower Battle Cruisers. The engineering hull was placed over the Saucer so the deflector would be able to better push away spacial matter while performing maneuvers, and to more easily seperate should the need arise during battle.

Nice designs, but you're off on the dates (E-D was launched in 2364 IIRC), and unless these ships have Transwarp, the speeds are off. Good sketches, though.

I was gonna ask about those speed ratings, too.

What's a "calo"? Where are the phasers?

nice catch Tsuki, i didn't know that.

As for Calos, and Speeds, forgot the footnote to see previous ship designes for that stuff.

To re-itify:

Since we can makeup our own stuff here, I took the privilige of creating a new warp scale because the TNG one sucks.
Vc^(-1) =WF^(log8760)
No Transwarp barriors/Warp 10 being infinity.

Calos are basicly a Phaser on steroids. Their passed through another particle chamber which adds energy to the Phaser without extra drain on the ships, and makes them resistant to powering Regenerative shielding.

Monfort class Light Cruiser

Length: 320m
Beam: 100m
Height: 100m

Crew:
50 officers, 320 enlisted

Weaponry:
7 x Type X phaser arrays
4 x Burst fire torpedo tubes
1 x Quantum torpedo launcher

Defenses:
High capacity shield system
High level structural integrity field
10cm ablative hull armor

Speeds:
Warp 8.8 cruising speed
Warp 9.5 maximum cruise
Warp 9.99 maximum speed

The Monfort class was developed as a light cruiser counterpart to the Sovereign class ships. The design incorporated elements from the Sovereign and arranged them in a Galaxy class formation, although the actual size of the ship was scaled down. Experiments with the prototype USS Monfort NX-85855 in early 2381 proved successful, and the class entered production shortly after.

Is it just me, or does the design of the Solar class seem needlessly complex?

You mean the double nacelle struts? I don't think it's a big deal, especially if on pair is normally capable of withstanding the material stress involved.

As to the Monfort - I like the idea, but if it is a cruiser complement to the Sov, shouldn't it go at least as fast as the Sov?

Thanks for the advice, Mikey. I edited the speeds to better match the Sov.

how do you mean?

Maybe it's just the way I'm looking at it, but it seems like a lot of the features, the second set of nacelles, the lack of connection between the main body and the saucer, etc, all seem rather unnecessary.

On the Solar Class there's only one set of nacelles.

Then what are those nacelle-looking thingies right next to the secondary hull?

Quantum pods.

you have the saucer, then coming off the saucer would be basicly two secondary hulls. Between them is the cargo hull which is 90% cargo space and can seperate for space station movement, and outside the two secondary hulls are the nacelles.
