That's very nice, Rev. One nit: the registry on the primary hull looks a bit flat rather than curving up towards the center of the dish. Another nit: should the development project be based at a maintenance yard?

And where do we get that registry? Is it an Encycloepdia-only thing, or did Okuda actually hide the reference somewhere onscreen?

I don't much like the idea of any of the "random" ships from the shows being class ships. There usually are many, many ships in a class, so the odds of meeting the first one are low unless there is a special reason. And frankly, I'd love for this nice Concordance Antares to be a humble member of a class, rather than a class ship, too. "Humility" is written all over it, and nicely accentuated by Reverend's design...

I altered the encyclopedia reg for two reasons.

1) It fit's the Constituton-esq design era a little better.

2) Apparantly on of the FJ ships (a Saladin I think) is already NCC-501....Not that I really care but it looks better if I list two reasons instead of just the one.


In regards to this being the "Charlie X" Antares AND the class prototype; I simply say, why not? There's no real reason why it can't be, better to kill two ships with one design I say.
Plus when you consider that there is only one other STARFLEET Antares-Class ship referenced and it's amoung a rag-tag fleet of half operational ships, an old 23rd Century Surveyor fits in there quite nicely I think.
