The panels lines and registry on the top of the saucer don't match on the top and side views. On the side view, the registry sits directly on a line but on the top view it's between lines. Also, on the top view you have 28 radial divisions, but on the side view there are probably only half that number.

You and I are probably the only two people here who would spot that, you bastard. Like I said before some of these vectors are from the original drawing so I'll have to redo most of the grid lines on the fore & side view, probably after I've done the ventral view. As for the name & reg, I'm leaving them alone for now because I haven't decided yet if I should bump it up into the 2100's, now that I don't need to keep an eye towards the "Charlie X" Antares.

Well, in my project, I set the Antares pathfinder as NCC-1793, placing it about 2269. That would fit really well with this (maybe because I kinda locked it that way).

It's a bit sticky because by all accounts the 1700s were commissioned around 2245 and by 2272 the Entente (NCC-2120) is out and about. I tend to think the Excelsior as having a very long development history (being the "Great Experiment" and all) which accounts for it's relatively low reg. So I'm thinking maybe NCC-2071 for the prototype.

So there is, I didn't even realise it. Must have snuck into my subconsciousness as I have just this month watched the series for the first time.

I just love the Phase II docking ports. A nice touch.
As for registries, depending on what kind of system you use, it wouldn't really matter much. In my Big Giant List, there are already 3800s (Ptolemy) and 2700s (Loknar) flying around for decades in 2269. This assumes block assignments based very roughly on ship type and leaving room for growth, leaving lots of gaps.
I would tentatively place this starting at NCC-2050, assuming a late 2260s launch. This is close to the Excelsiors and the Ventures on my list. Alternatively, something around 700-800 would also be a nice zone, near the Oberth, Cahuya and several scout classes. But of course, I have no idea how that fits for other people
