Durrett Class   ●   Light Cruiser   ●   United Federation of Planets


CLICK ABOVE FOR A DOUBLE-SIZE BLUEPRINT

THE SAUCER AND HULL ON THIS LIGHT CRUISER ARE SIMILAR to the Reliant (Miranda) class, with the difference being that the single warp engine is mounted on a pylon that extends well beneath the ship in a direct line with the impulse deck.  When I first saw this ship I viewed it as a somewhat veiled rip-off of the Saladin destroyer from the old Franz Joseph Star Fleet Technical Manual.  As a matter of fact, I have always been tempted to write up a whole new page for a TMP-era refit of the Saladin class, and just use this graphic as the image for the refit model since the Saladin and the Durrett are so similar.
     Game-wise, the Durrett is a very light cruiser, and might qualify as a destroyer if it had more weaponry.  Shields are good, but the single warp engine does not give a player a lot of juice to work with.  If you try and power up phasers you invariably don't have much to spare for the shields, and vice versa, which limits this craft in extended battles with similarly-sized opponents.
     For the 2015 re-draw I used a slightly cleaned up version of the Miranda-class re-draw I did in 2007.  Which was especially helpful when it came time to do the ventral and stern views; which the original FASA blueprints never displayed.  Overall, there's a great deal more detail compared to the FASA original, and it's accurized with the movie model of the Miranda class (from the second motion picture) as a guide.  The chief difference being the aft portion of the Miranda's secondary hull is truncated to match the flat tail of the Durrett.
     As with many of the designs that are current to the ST:TMP aesthetic, I provided some additional stats to make the cruiser a bit more playable in the motion picture era of the Star Trek universe.  Though, as noted above, it's still a very light ship in comparison to similar destroyers.
