Looks tough. What are the features on the front, and what are the discs on the sides for?

Well...

In front that are sensor phalanx`s...
Exclude the side holes... that are torpedolaunchers...
The dishes are like them in a AWAC...

Inspiration?

WTF ?!?

No...

My own design.

I like it...and by the structuring, I could see it being a cost-saving measure from a shipyard running multiple production lines. With that large foreward structure area, it wouldn't take a lot to produce a model that replaces the SWACS array with a heavy spinal-mounted weapon of some sort.

That's a seriously classy ship, but... how big are the turrets? If those are bridge windows, those turrets are tiny. (Well, I assume they're turrets)

It looks like a much larger version of one of Homeworld's frigate class ships, which are pretty similar to that description, too.

Well... that just point defence turrets...

There will be some bigger guns later.

Looks kinda like a Kushan Ion Frigite from Homeworld

At least the forward weapons. And the Kushan main engines were either horizontal or vertical slits:

As Vertical

As Horizontal

Damn mang! That's some really fine work you've got there. Solid, blocky. Very good.

It looks more along the lines of the Progenitor Dreadnaught to me.

Reminds me of the Frigate design from Wing Commander 4 ...
