Background: Hobbyist's Guide

Phase I: USS Enterprise in 2273. Note new standard paint scheme of flat white with black weapon port frames and yellow RCS assemblies. Also note how neither the docking ports nor the shield grid are covered with thermocoat any longer, saving several tons in total mass. The aesthetics of the 2240s, based on the tradition of hull armor and gunports even with both concepts long obsolete, were finally giving way to a new functionality that had an aesthetic appeal of its own. [Enterprise subclass]
