The Furious Class Destroyer is based off one of Alex Jaeger's sketches for the Insurrection Freighter (seen in one of the first issues of Star Trek: The Magazine). The idea was simple. A saucer with a weapons pod at the back, located directly above the bridge. The nacelles then came out of the side of the pod. There was also a large shuttlebay at the front. As you notice, this one is EXTREMLY detailed. Unfortunatly, because of all that detail, it became hard to fix the design. The way it turned out (especially nacelles, impulse engines, and the pylons that hold up the pod) isn't exactly working for me, so I ditched it. But it's nice to see all the detail, isn't it?
The Ferengi Golnar Class Heavy Blockade Runner is designed with the true Ferengi in mind. It's purpose and design are simple. Get past the alien blockade (or, as is in most cases, just get inside their space), steal the goods, and fight your way out. The Golnar does this with ease. Her crew is centralized in the center of the ship, while the engines and cargo are left in the starboard and port sides. Weaponary is also kept over here as well. To help in their mission, the nose of the central section is actually capable of seperating, and becoming a small, limited range fighter craft. If there is no need to fight, the fighter can be used to help bring up cargo at a quicker pace.
