Agreed.
Ah, good to know. Could be a way to produce some novel saucer derived shapes in the future if you keep doing it this way.

Im think, this can be the whats the term, mothership to the Miranda class, its a giant miranda but due to its size is more expensive so would coordinate with the workhorse miranda class, so you get like sectors of miranda being directed by this ship to work together hopefully. Whoever needs the bigger miranda gets the help, the coverage can also help protect them when they are within range of each other.
Edit: Im not a big fan of starfleet making ships go solo across their space.

An interesting thing to note is that whilst ultimately about 11 decks tall the base of the Excelsior-class saucer is approximately 2 decks.
Meaning we could easily end up with a more voluminous saucer than the Excelsior has.

It's unlikely, but moderately possible, that should they survive/serve for long enough one of these ships could (as a training ship hastily called into battle) show up at Wolf 359, replacing the Connie that did in canon.

dude, I want to name it the Titanic now, this ship shall never sink!
Actually right now we're mostly centered in the Beta Quadrant, that's where the Romulans and Klingons are.
Don't worry. The Olympic will never sink!

...if we call it Poseidon, can we go for triple nacelles and a long primary hull?
(I mean, not that the name's going to summon a rogue subspace wave or something...)
BP - We like orbs. Huge internal volume.
Starfleet - We hate orbs. They are ugly and lack good weapon mounts.
BP - (Huddles and whispers frantically before turning back to Starfleet) - OK, new idea : BEEG SAUCER!

Well, not the most massive possible... We should stop at 400ktons.
350ktons of BEEG SAUCER. 50kton secondary hull.
Dreadnought![ ] 180 Meter, 3 Decks (Mass: 114kt) [Cost: 22.5]
obviously we should go for the highest one
Dreadnought!
Dreadnought!
Going by the Excalibur saucer/connie style secondary value you'd be looking at about 142,860 tonnes of secondary hull (and nacelles) for a 400kt ship and 128,570 tonnes secondary/nacelles for a 360kt ship.

Uhm leaning more to mid one myself but big is interesting as well.
The secondary hull consists entirely of a pair of thrusters strapped to a shuttlebay and stapled to the bottom of the ship.
Still got 1h and 12m to go.

Sayle is changing phaser mechanics this update so that phaser damages scales with ship mass! Vote 3-deck for maximum zwoooorp!

We voted for big, let's go big.

We've literally got over an hour before we can vote, please stop voting.
I agree but you are well over an hour early.
And we prototype the saucer separation system that will be later used as an emergency escape from an exploding warp core, but in the case of the Federation class it's so the secondary hull can detached and fly around like the universe's biggest shuttle craft.
Hm, maybe the relevant text needs increased by ten font sizes and colored red...
