Fabrux class
The author of this mod says that "The Fabrux class battle frigate was built to replace the ageing Aegian class frigate." I didn't realize that the Aegian was an ageing design. I assumed it was one of Starfleet's newest designs. What exactly a 'battle frigate' is, I'm not sure. Somewhere between a battlecruiser and a frigate. Which would make it a cruiser, would it not? These naval designations applied to Starfleet never really work, do they.
Either way, the Fabrux class frigate looks like a guitar pick with warp engines. And it'll either become one of your favourites in a hurry (it's VERY well armed, perhaps a little too well armed) or you'll dislike the design from the outset and refrain from commenting about it. And that's fine, but it's worth a look.

Great textures by the way and if the model was 1500 I would be downloading it but at 6000 I unfortunately won't be. It would be sluggage even on my AMD Quad Core as it's the game engine not the PC that one needs to take into consideration.
Interesting design though kudos for the design and textures.
