They are only as tough as you arm them to be but point taken. :)

Ooh. Vulcan ships! Now that WILL be interesting. And thank you for taking on my request. :)

Incidentally, I appreciate your reasoning about the Burke class, and of course you have scaled Burke and Constitution differently, but the main difficulty for me is, as ships in the same Medium category, they have the same number of Hit Points. A Burke class as tough as a Constitution?

Erm, now, it might just be me, but that seems off to me. ;)

Yes I can make you a smaller version of the Burke class. It will be awhile before I can get to it. Right now Vulcans ships are my focus. As soon as those are done I'll will be happy to fill your request. :steamhappy:

LOL!!!! The latest additions are not new. I've been sitting on these ships for quite awhile, I am not ready to upload my Vulcan ships yet so I thought I would add more Federation ships I had not added yet.

Before I started seriously doing Federation designs I did quite a bit of research on the designs and ship scales. I used size comparison charts and that is how I came up with the hulls sizes based on that. The Burke Class, although a mediium hull, is indeed smaller compared to the Constitution class of the same era. The Burke class predates the Constitution class by at least 25 years. Burke class was an excort ship during the Federation/Klingon war known as the Four Years War, Many ships of it class where lost in battles against the Klingons. Early Federation ships designs were in small until the Constitution class was developed.

Am taking a look now. You haven't lost your touch, thanks. :)

I have an enquiry/request. Everyone does Frigates as Medium ships, the same size as cruisers, which, nice as they are, seems odd to me. Is there any chance that you could do a Small Ship version of the Burke? Pretty please? :)

Then you will also be happy to know that as I type this comment I am adding more Federation Ship to my workshop. Go take a look. :)

This may well resemble the starship seen for the blink of an eye in 2009's Star Trek, but I recognise this as the Burke Class Frigate from ADB's Starfleet Battles game. Thank you Airmaster! :)

( Nothing stopping people using it as the movie's Mayflower if they wish).

My mayflower class is based on the TOS version.

that isn't what i am talking about. there are 2 mayflowers. your mayflower and the star trek 2009 Mayflower shown for only a few seconds during the fleet jump with the Armstrong and Newton classes

Nope. Burke class. Mayflower was a colony ship. There were the old TOS and newer TNG version.
