An Atolm Pre-TOS Design

IMHO, this is what the NX-01 SHOULD have been

[Thomas P]

Three nacelles and a Vulcan warp ring?

Yup

The NX-01 should have been a Federation that basically Borrowed a lot of Vulcan technology. THEN after all that, say the next line of ships should have had a bit more Federation-Esque tech.

It's a nifty design, but it looks contemporary to the TOS era. Based on the fictional history of Trek, I could see a bit of borrowing. However, if you are an Enterprise fan, Earth probably developed it's own tech seeing as how the Vulcans withhold technology. It all depends on your pov.
Atolm has been churning out some great designs. Tell him to keep up the good work.

Skyhawk...you are correct in your assesment of the ship being from a re-imagining of TOS
And thank you for the comment

Yea I do think this design needs to be De-advanced a bit, it's too new for enterprise, but defenetly a decent early tos era ship, say around the time kirk would have been a cadet.
