Notes:
The basic design was dependent on the new warp field envelope created by the warp drive systems. The low profile allows the ship to be contained in a narrower warp field, allowing for a wider range of warp configurations.
These new configurations give this class starship greater maneuverability at warp speeds and higher acceleration factors overall. The ship can easily make a turn at 8 g's above the maximum rating of the inertial dampers. To compensate, decks have been angled to the forward flight path and certain interior modifications have been designed to allow the crew to handle such maneuverability.
The ships primary hull (saucer section) is a large flat oval shape that uses the maximum amount of space available within the new warp field geometry. There are separation devices between the primary and secondary hull, which allow for separation and reattachment.
The secondary hull (Drive Section) extends back from the aft section of the primary hull and contains most of engineering and warp drive systems. The impulse engines were placed to provide the maximum force against the center of the ship's mass. This increases maneuverability at impulse velocities. The warp nacelles extend below the secondary hull on either side to line up with the new matter/anti-matter reactor design.
The Liberator Class is not the fastest ship in the fleet but it can sustain higher warp velocities for longer periods of time. An example would be a Galaxy Class Starship sustaining a warp factor of 9.6 for 12 hours before core meltdown, while the Liberator Class could hold the same speed for up to 200 hours. At present there is a power drop off after warp 9.94.
