Nice! - I like!

seems to me like a good step above the NX and a beginning evolution towards the Constitution. Perhaps one of the first Starfleet vessels issued with photon torpedo launchers?

I'm glad you like Snake. I remember reading that Frigates often represented top of the line equipment that the Federation has, so it is a posibility.

I noted an error. I started off with the design as size 5, so the PC-25s do fit, but when reduced to size 4, they need to be downgraded to 4 PC-10as. Ironicaly this frees up another point that can be put into Ops bringing it to class 3. This feels abusive and I'm tempted not to make the change.
