Here is a ship that we were planning on using in a new adventure that we tossed aside when a different vessel was brought to us an the group wanted it better and back to the Next Generation Era of play. When I am find time in the new year I will put up another Federation vessel the S'Harien-class that we scrapped early on. I will also be posting the new Next Generation Era vessel based on an early Voyager concept drawing of a ship we are going to be using.
The Belknap class is not a new design I’ve seen it floating around sense the early 80’s. It simply looks a lot like the Enterprise in the “Original Series” Motion Pictures with exceptions to lower placed warp nacelles and wider oval shaped secondary hull.
Using this ship we could use a lot of the Constitution-class blue prints in our games where when we using the Nebula-class modified versions we could only use the saucer section blueprints for the game.

MENAHGA-CLASS & S’HARIEN-CLASS
Here are the other two vessels that I spoke of. They look similar to that of the Constitution and each other. With exceptions they like the Belknap are quite old designs dating back to the 80’s when I first saw them in the back of Starlog magazine.
All they really are is variations of the Constitution class starship. I figure them as service vessels of a sort. “Break glass in case of war” kind of ships.
Of course Starfleet would assign them all sorts of exploration and patrol duties but their real purpose would be to defend the Federation and as a space deterrent vessel. Both are classified as battle cruiser and are lighter armed than the Constitution-class 2270’s refit, but equaling the older version of the Constitution-class of the previous refit modle.
