I suppose you wouldn't want to have two classes with Greek names, but what was the name of the god (or Titan?) who was doomed to keep pushing a boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back to the bottom just as he reached the top?
Looks cool!

I don't know if that is the correct spelling.

Ta very much.

I think strength and silence are characteristics more relevant to a stealth ship. I'll keep it in mind if I ever draw one.

Just doesn't make sense to send one container zipping along when you should really send a whole bunch. Anti-matter ain't easy to produce!
The singer container is really for the Starliners, which probably travel solo as a matter of policy.
Remember that these containers are very substantial structures and can carry an enormous amount of cargo, so outside of the Federation Core worlds and primary shipping lines one container is usually more that sufficient.

I'm jumping in late here, but if you named it Calculon, and you were staying with the DY-family's antennae, then you could have two of them, pointing in random directions... hehe

Great job, "Reverend"! Creative design w/o going overboard, IMO.
What do you use for creating the line drawings? I'm curious to know, as I'd like to try and do up my original designs in five or six views, plus an isometric angle view.
Again, nice job. I have no suggestions for names that haven't already been offered.
