[X] Full Saucer [Primary Hull Mass: 70,000 Tons] (Secondary Hull - 30,000)
[X] Half-Saucer [Primary Hull Mass: 50,000 Tons] (Secondary Hull - 50,000)

A slightly smaller saucer with a bit of extra helft somewhere sounds nice. Sayle looked like they had a few nice ideas on how it could be layed out.

Just a personal aside that I'm sure a few of us want answered; @Sayle, with the signing of the Treaty of Algeron in this timeline and the generally more favorable end for the Coalition, are we capable of developing cloaking technology (even if it doesn't see widespread use in our vessels), or was that an unstated stipulation of the Treaty?

I believe the Treaty of Algeron was the result of Romulan-Federation skirmishes/incidents in the early 2200s, probably instigated as a result of Romulan concerns about Federation expansion and encroachment. Hence the promise not to develop cloaking technology, which the Romulans probably rightly feared would render them completely vulnerable to a Federation First Strike and make tracking Starfleet much more challenging.

Beta canon has it as a the result of false flag attack but I'm not really a fan of that. But I don't really see the Federation developing cloaking technology themselves short of a total war scenario because it really is one of those capabilities that automatically inflate tensions with your neighbours. Imagine how much more saber-rattling international diplomacy would be if all naval vessels could turn invisible and you didn't know where half of someones fleet was at any one time. You need to be big and scary and dangerous just to secure yourself.

Fair enough. I'll lay such ideas aside then.

Edit: Though I could see such technology used on science ships for defensive purposes. Why arm a science ship to fight off any ne'er-do-wells when it could just hide from them?
