Edit: I figured rather than make a new thread every time, I'll just upload my WIPS here.
So 17 years ago when I was a wee lad on SFM (trooper13 for those who remember) I had a ship design called the sabrewolf.
I have since completely lost everything about it except that it was a bit bigger than a Defiant class, but a bit bulkier and with heavy weapons.
This go around I've decided to make her sleeker and thinner, but just as deadly.
Anyway, I have decided to officially return to my home, and beginning this project is a good way to do that. Lol. So without further ado, the rough concept:

I agree with Rekkert re the window, plus for an "Escort" (hahaha, who were SF kidding!) I'd expect the bridge to be buried at least a little deeper into the hull - the Defiant's was surrounded by.the rest of Deck 1. Unless of course the inset area is something other than a window?
Nice bussards, btw! They look suitably more advanced
Here's another rough concept angle. I'm tying to reference the Defiant because they would technically be similar sizes, but I suppose this ship would be an extension of the Defiant class' role in quick recon scouting.
I tried to do some research on how registries are figured out and it sounds like its pretty much whatever. So I kept it close to Defiant lineage lol

Okay! Time!for textures. How do I do textures in blender? xD
