I did consider the flattened sphere/dome disk configuration since the ship looks like a ball stuck in a doughnut. I’ll probably end up doing both. Looks like the TNE version has what I think is called a hedgehog configuration of meson guns and particle accelerators. Tactically since these can only be trained by moving the ship it looks to me to be a weakness in the class. Though if you remember the scene from the film The Last Starfighter where the fighter span in three axis firing its weapons I had a mental image of a Voroshilef doing the same. Don’t think TL13 inertial compensation could cope with this sort of spin though.

Anthony, if you use the “flattened sphere” configuration, you’ll ‘just’ squeeze enough hull length in, to hit the TL 13 range requirement. It also improves your surface area, and allows for some a BB set of sensors.
The Voroshilef and AHL are my 2 favorite hulls to play with, as modding them is easy. The AHL, with it’s approx. 400 dt (425 dt, if my memory serves...) hull plugs, and the Voro’s, with massive spinal space, made great AssualtRon back bones.
