of course, the Challenger is a "mutant" starship class! but this class looks not like the others! it is not a "main stream" ship (a right and a left nacelle, a primary and secondary hull, a deflector, etc.)! The Springfield and the New orleans looks like the Galaxy! the most is the same!
The Challanger looks different! Okay the parts are allmost the same, but the configuration is an other! That the reason why i also love the Freedom and the Niagara! C U Marko |

Well I've never really liked any one-nacelle ships until the Kelvin, and I prefer a lot of symmetry in my starships, which is the reason I don't like the Challenger very much. Suit yourself though I guess.

Sorry for jumping in here, but does anyone know of a Miranda Class cruiser available?

Paragon;"Well I've never really liked any one-nacelle ships until the Kelvin, and I prefer a lot of symmetry in my starships, which is the reason I don't like the Challenger very much."
Well, you are in good company! The Great Bird himself sated in continuity meetings that no vessels could be presented without paired nacelles. The reason involved the dynamics of warp drive, which I'd better not bore you all with. This mandate was held the whole time he was an active producer! The DC

No, the reason was Gene had a big falling-out with Matt Jeffries and made up a bunch of rules about starship design so he could exclude a bunch of Jeffries' designs just to tick him off royally. The Excelsior doesn't follow those rules, btw, and Gene was involved with ST3 IIRC.
Look up the book "Inside Star Trek". It's a great book with a bunch of stories in there about Gene Roddenberry when the original Trek was in production. As an aside, I like the Destroyer/Scout design. Simple, yet elegant in its simplicity. But I digress. . . Anyway, there was a Saratoga by Diego Cortez if the other Miranda design is too big. |

No, it is the USS Lantree! the Saratoga looks a little bit different!

Oh yeah, the Lantree! There were a lot of Miranda-class variants in TNG and DS9; I keep getting them mixed up. :o

Well I don't know exactly what rules it doesn't fit, but it looks like a pretty standard Federation set-up to me - two warp nacelles etc just like Paragon said.
