I can't see these images at all. They just will not load.

I've always liked the Steamrunner-class, out of the FC ships it's my favorite. It seems that Paramount has completely disowned the Norway-class. And as for the Saber image, it's really easy to reposition the angle like that.

Where can, or can, it be found on the net??

That's the front view on the left, by the way.
You can also see some Akira elements in there. They actually started with one design, and ended with three: the Steamrunner (which was originally Streamrunner, but somehow the R got lost in between departments), the Akira and the Norway.

Thanks for the larger scans Fitz. I agree, the original Streamrunner does look good. Especially from the front, it kind of has a tough "don't mess with me or I'll fire a torpedo up your ass" look.

That sketch is upside-down, compared to the final result. And I think the Steamrunner's butt-ugly. Besides, wasn't that torpedo bay converted into a deflector dish in the end?

Both designs, upsidedown or not, are kick ass. More sportish than combative.

Damn. I was hoping for schematics. . . Are there any?

The Streamrunner may appear threateningly; however, she is a very weak combatant. I counted at least 7 of these ships being destroyed by the Borg weapons in the eighth movie. And this is with one or two shots.
There is something very bad about these ships. When a weapon hits the connection between the primary hull and the nacelle, the Streamrunner Class starship's affected side is consumed by 'fire' and the ship is severly disabled or the starship is destroyed completely. These connections could be centers of high plasma energy, that when hit, explode. I guess the closest 21st example is if an enemy ship hits the magazine of another warship, the affected warship will be severly damaged or destroyed by the resulting explosion.
I remember in the film that as a Streamrunner Class starship approaced the Borg ship, the Borg ship fired a single round into the Federation ship. The round hit the connection and, about a second later, the starship is destroyed by a large explosion. Furthermore, the only recorded instance of a Federation starship being destroyed by shrapnel is a Streamrunner Class starship in the eight movie. The shrapnel is from the Borg ship.
I would not want to serve aboard the Streamrunner Class starship.
