The Original NX class,  but adds a secondary hull. The story, as I understand it, is that had the program “Enterprise” aired a fifth season, the eponymous ship would have been fitted with a new “Warp 7” engine. The trouble is that the new engine did not fit in the engineering bay for the old “Warp 5” engine. The engineering solution was to build a new secondary hull onto the bottom of the ship, housing the new over-sized engineering section and warp core. If you look closely at the aft section of the secondary hull you will see an odd structure that looks like a shuttle or something that should detach. That’s the housing for the intermix chamber of the engine core. This ship was designed to eject the whole section in the case of an impending core breach. For this model it’s only decorative. Don’t try ejecting your core, it won’t help.


The secondary hull also comes with a MUCH larger deflector dish. I have fitted a similarly large pulse weapon in the secondary hull. It doesn't do much... but maybe in future updates.
