Star Trek TOS Hermes Class Scout

Description

I have always wondered what a modern version of the infamous Starfleet Technical Manual would look like if it was published today. So as an homage to Mr. Joseph, I decided to create this based on his exceptional work with my own spin on the design. The Hermes Class Starship depicted here was created utilizing the equally infamous Jaynz Starship Toolkits.

UPDATED: 
 I redesigned the Hermes Class, Scout Ship (SC) MK-2. Since the original design of the Hermes Class was basically a Saladin Class Light Destroyer (DDL) I wanted to give the vessel more of it's own identity while still keeping the original look and feel. So I decided to embrace the fact that it's primary mission was to get close to enemy lines to do reconnaissance and gather intelligence to relay back to the fleet for possible combat operations, so I replaced the hanging sensor dish with one mounted to the bow, added two more high-power lateral sensors and added two hangar bays to the upper saucer section, since small craft reconnaissance would be an important part of the vessel's mission. I think that these modifications work out well for the ship and the mission profile.
