Okay, I know everyone is creating their own alien race these days, but I'm still making my kitbash series. That and I can't think of any new creatively original species. I call it the Explorer-class and it's the second in my set of ships, I hope you like it.
You'll need to right-click and view image thanks to Tripod.
Class: Explorer Type: Deep-space explorer Ships of class: �USS Explorer NX-76135 Length: 280 meters Height: 110 meters Beam: 32 meters Accommodation: 300 officers and crew Mass: 720,000 metric tons Maximum warp speed: 9.95 Tactical systems: �4 photon/quantum torpedo launchers �7 type-8 phaser arrays �2 Pulse phaser cannons
The Explorer-class is an offshoot of Starfleet's older Miranda-class, with a greater capacity for science, exploratory, and defensive mission profiles. With the heavy use of the Miranda-class during the Dominion war Starfleet wanted a ship that could do everything the Miranda could and more.
Features on the Explorer-class include two extra nacelles for deep-space missions. On the sides of the saucer are replaceable sensor pods. A new smaller secondary hull was built underneath the saucer to include a larger more powerful navigational deflector array, more crew and crew quarters, ship systems, and a shuttlebay.
The Explorer-class is one of the first modern replacements for the aging Miranda-class and currently the ASDB is interested in phasing out the Miranda-class with this ship class with a projected time table of eight to ten years.

Okay, I found the problem. It is, Tripod and Lycos. If the image doesn't show up, right-click it and go to view image (on Netscape, I'm not sure about IE). You'll then get a page of crap and the link to view the image, just click the link. I can't believe Tripod unleashed this load of BS.
