Mid-24th Century Ships (2330-2355)
Starship designs from
this era include the New
Orleans, Cheyenne and Nebula
classes, several more ships that appeared only as wreckage in TNG:
"Best of Both Worlds" and also the Galaxy which is being developed in the 2340's and
2350's. Looking at all these designs, it is obvious that
ellipsoid main hull shapes and rounded almond-shaped engineering hulls
dominate in the mid-24th century. Likewise, the
transition from the hull to the neck is usually smooth
now. The ships have more and larger windows than the
Ambassador class. The formerly short phaser strips have
been extended to rings on the saucer top and bottom, the
Galaxy's phasers being of Type X. There are no sensor
domes any more, but sensor pallets are combined to strips
which run around the hull, mostly in the saucer and
engineering hull rims. Deflector dishes look more sophisticated than
before, now sporting an additional center part. Ships
of the mid-24th century achieve velocities well beyond
Warp 9. Hull numbers range from NCC-40000 to NCC-70000.
