The Morningstar class light frigate was designed to combat some of the faster gunship classes fielded by rival companies. She is well armed with 7 AF laser cannons, and a single light battle laser mounted on the bow. She carries 3 high power Incarsis engines and an Iota grade slipstream drive. her shields are fairly capable and her armour plating is top rate for a design of this size. The main disadvantage of the design is the weak sensors she carries, making her less effective in the patrol role. But as a defensive frigate, or a light support ship, she is a great vessel.
I think you've shown a good deal of restraint with these, which I mean as a compliment. Based on you're write-up of the universe, it would be very easy for you to load these things up with battle lasers and ptoton cannons, but you've obviously made an effort to keep a modicum of common sense.

a ship of this size would have trouble even powering a proton cannon, let alone a array of them. Plus it'd put the construction costs through the bloody roof.
I could try to render some of these in 3d for you, if you'd like. Same offer out to Graham. Bryce 5 is pretty sweet; I just need to practice.

EDIT: Maybe I'm slow and old, but which way is the front on each view? One's from the side, and the other is top-down, right? It'd be a bit embarassing if I were to render them backward.

Hey, if any of my stuff takes your fancy then by all means.
Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...
