* Star Trek: Bridge Commander aka BCFiles is back! Now on Gamefront! https://www.gamefront.com/games/bridge-commander
Sweet. I like the Coto-Class, too. Hmmm...needs Maru type underslung secondary hulls.
I'm in complete agreement with Hellsgate. The NX-01 design has already been sufficiently screwed up. No need for a pointless 3rd or even 4th nacelle.
I'd have pulse phaser ports in the front . . .
The only issue with that is pulse phasers weren't standard weapons on Starfleet vessels until the DS9 era. Even then, they were reserved for Defiant and her bretheren. Look at the Enterprise E: a perfect platform for high-powered weapons (quantum torpedoes anyone?) yet the designers didn't feel it was necessary to include pulse phasers.
