Well then I'll just assume that the SFTM is wrong and that the Cygnus is just an older Oberth and looks nothing like the Hermes, and is not a subclass of it.

nah, i like the design presented by the SotSF associated Recog chart.. basically, the Franz Joseph TM, Todd Guenther SotSF and Aridas Sofia FSRC i all consider to be on the level.. i'm not going to dismiss their designs as simply 'not existing.. maybe the class ship for the Cygnus is NCC-478 or something, and then the rest ended up in the 6xx range, with a few Oberths mixed in (just like some Connies are 16xx and some are 17xx and 18xx, but there are Mirand� and other ship types mixed in too in those ranges)

Except that I think the 600 and 800 ships were different classes that looked like Connies but weren't.
Also, it's not like I am completely ignoring the design of the Cygnus, as it's also the design of the Hermes (which I think is 550, but that's another story). All I am saying is that instead of Hermes and Cygnus looking the same, we have Cygnus looking like an old Oberth and Hermes looking like the SFTM one nacelled ship.
