Discovery Class - Design

Based from the game StarTrek Legacy this ships have no data or record in the real world. Because in a game world things are different from the movies and series of StarTrek. The ships and the firepower are different too also the design of the ship from the time of era. For example the NX-01 Enterprise was in service long after the first warpship took flight in April 4th 2063 - as seen in StarTrek First Contact. The engine design and structure for early warp starships to reach other planets made a change in Earth's history.

On this post there is only the side views of the mid 22nd century scout ship known as the Discovery Class. This ship looks like a STS space shuttle but with impulse engines and small warp naccelles for light travel in space even it's a fast starship of it's kind. Look here for more info -  http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Discovery_class

The Side view of the Discovery Class scout

This is the design of the Original ship from StarTrek Legacy. Drawed by hand and re-drawed on photoshop to make to clear for viewers to see the detail.

This is the early 23rd Century design of the ship done on photoshop. Making it alot better with the warp engines cooler like missiles.

The Discovery Class scout is a good ship very fast, but too weak to destroy. In the 22nd century starships still have armour hull plating before the shileds were invented. Now this ship has shields but weak shields and phase cannons of medium firing range. It takes alot of time to crop the image of a Constitution class warp naccelle and transform the scale to any size I want, also I have to strech the dome to make it look as the original ship.
