Sean: The Mediator-class Battle Cruiser struck me all at once as a genuinely beautiful ship from the concept art. However, I always thought that the concept art was too pretty to realize, still I tried to stick to the sleek and predatory lines of the vessel. The design initially came off as a thinner and more Destroyer-esque version of the MC90 Defiance class, but that seemed far too much like a design update, despite the radical appearance difference. So, drawing inspiration from the Reef Home and Defiance classes of ships, I cobbled together a model that looks like this, which manages in my opinion, to capture the ideas of David's concept art. I adjusted the engines to fit David's original concept, and he seems happy with it.
