This is the Interceptor Class. In contrast to older versions, this is scaled down. At first i used 323m for the length as it comes with the file and can also be found on some internet sites about this ship. Then i recently saw the
Trekyards episode on YouTube with the original designer of this fan ship and there it was said it is only 190m long. A size that makes much more sense. At this size the 11 decks have an almost perfect height of about 3m (in contrast to 5m! at 323m), the docking port on the side is about 2m in diameter and the auxiliary craft on the underside of the saucer is also more the size of a Runabout. I never quite liked the ship at 323m as it was so reminiscent and similar in size and shape as the Intrepid Class (344m) and even has the moving nacelles, but now on this smaller size it makes much more sense for being an Interceptor. Although i think it's silly to name an Interceptor USS Interceptor and therefore the whole class Interceptor Class. That's like naming the USS Defiant, USS Escort instead or the Miranda Class, Cannon Fodder Class ;-)
