We never saw the vessels theat preceded the Constitution class in TOS. I decided to fill that gap myself. No need to thank me.

Well, didn't the Daedalus Class predate the Constitution? Your design fits the era though.

I think he means the stuff just before TOS. Bear in mind that there was half-a-century between the decommissioning of the Daedalus-class and the launch of the Enterprise, and another twenty years between that and the start of TOS. That's a lot of missed ships. :-)

Read the description. It's better than the drawing (they usually are).

You descriptions rule. What I don't like about the design is the vertical neck. There's nothing wrong about it, but it looks a bit "stationary", not like a "fast" starship.
