Cool, but you say this is a carrier? Where do the aircraft go--in the rear?

Galactica plus jupiter 2 makes a horrible federation ship. In addition, you replaced the flight decks with nacelles, so it's not a carrier. "thou shalt not pass."

Intriguing design... not sure I understand how it could work as a carrier, but it is quite imaginative. My father worked on an aircraft carrier when he was in the navy; I am sure he would get a kick out of this.

It's a Babylon 5 / Battlestar galactica hybrid. The "flight deck" for (space craft) fighters... including Defiant size ships... is through the lower (secondary hull) in multiple directions fore and aft just so long as is clears the lower "bubble" on the saucer section. This ship is so big that engineering is IN the nacelles and supports... struts...

That line doesn't even make sense. Regardless, they had them.

UFP used attack fighters thoughtout Domimion war. So UFP use fighters when they think going face heavy losing anyway.

As for UFP super carrier way UFP wast time design and building new class starship when alreadly have super class carry it call Galaxy class starship. Galaxy class starship at least 3 seperation shuttlebays and maybe more.
