That's en entirely unofficial version of the Niagara, but Adam refuses to remove it.
And "Curry" is supposedly the official name of the ship.

Thanks for the Fleet Chart and special thanks to Frank for the JPG version. I hate any browser 4.x.
I only have the top half by now (15 minutes), and I agree with most of it. I only haven't checked the Steamrunner myself so far.
The Constellation image from the Encyclopedia I is not very precise. The nacelles are a bit too small. The Fact Files diagram is better, although the saucer top (bridge) is a bit too much raised, whereas it is too flat in the Encyclopedia schematic. I have obtained a length of 315m.
Defiant: same problem as always...
Niagara: Unfortunately, it is probably official. We have to consider that the Freedom schematic was done the same way. And see: It was actually on screen at Wolf 359. Nevertheless, the Niagara could look completely different (I still hope so), considering the obvious flaws in the DS9TM that might have occured here likewise. Maybe the actual Niagara is even one of the ships I have recently spotted and tried to sketch.
Timeout. Loading was canceled. I'll try again tomorrow.

- I left out the M II beacuse there wasn't much point in including it. It's not different enough to warrent taking up space on my chart. I was gonna swap the M III for some other ship, but I decided to leave it in. I also decided to leave out the Challenger, just because I felt like it. =P
- Apparently that ship was named Curry Class after Dan Curry, a guy in the SFX dept. However, I prefer the name Shelley (for seveal reasons) and will continue to refer to it as such until I see "Curry" in writing.
- I know about the Constellation's nacelles. I'm just waiting until McReynolds scans Jackill's Constell diagrams for me. The nacelles would likely just add on 15-20m to the overall length, anyways.

Bernd: If the Niagara was a new model or kitbash we would've heard about it. It's probably one of the study models.

I think that the same applies for the Niagara as for the Freedom. We did hear of the Freedom sooner, but considering information on "non-essential" ships is provided occasionally and only bit by bit, there's no reason to believe it's not a new model.

The image loading is currently at 92%, 97%, done.
The Centaur image is not very accurate. IMHO the nacelle tips should almost reach the raised center of the saucer bottom, yielding only 380m overall length.
The nose of the depicted Sydney is too sharp. I think my schematic is better.

RW: Quicktime is a shoddy Apple product that subverts half your file associations, especially in the Netscape plugin. I was looking into this last night, and it definitely changes PNG to be opened in Netscape using QT - and won't let you alter it! Best way is remove Quicktime, which isn't much of a loss.
Have a look - go to Edit/Preferences/Applications then scroll down to PNG. You'll see the 'edit' and 'Remove' features are greryed out. . if you uninstall QT, it changes to PNG Image, you can edit or remove it, and the default viewer should change to whatever it was before, PSP in my case.
YOU WILL NOT INSULT QUICKTIME, THE VERY BEST MOVIE-PLAYING TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE
WITHOUT IT, YOU WOULD BE STUCK WITH AVI AND REALPLAYER AND OTHER SUCH LOW-QUALITY FORMATS
ALTHOUGH THE FACT THAT THE PLUG-IN LOADS PNG FILES IS ANNOYING, SINCE YOU CAN'T SCROLL THEM FOR SOME REASON

- The Shelley is made out of to scale parts from the Excelsior and Miranda (nacelles to scale with the saucer, etc). 265m is the length of an Ex 2ndary hull, so there you go...
- The Phoenix lengths are without the booster, only the warship itself.
