Don't forget about those Maquis raiders (DS9 "For the Uniform", VOY "Caretaker"). If anyone plans on making a Maquis demo campaign for these new ships, they'll need the raider.
On another note, after my comments in the original Galaxy promo thread, post Defiant release, I decided to make some alterations to the table files. I added a shield strength of 1700 for the Defiant, and limited the primaries to just the pulse cannons, rather than the rest of the FS2 weapons. I also added descriptions for the Akira, Defiant, Galaxy, and Sovereign, which I basically just wrote off the top of my head, though drawing on things I remember reading about for each ship. I also added descriptions in the weapons table file for the Defiant pulse cannons, photon torpedoes, quantum torpedoes and the Sierra spread torpedo. I was surprised when turret and primary forms of the pulse cannons have some difference in dammage factors, and the quantum torpedo has no difference in dammage from the photon design. I guess you're concentrating on the visuals rather than dammage ballancing. I would however, suggest you create a second photon spread torpedo design, which is more like the MX-52, where 6 or so torpedoes are fired at the same time from one bay.
Later!
