This design has been through a few iterations, and I think I like the final version very much. It looks cool and is nasty.
Note that it uses some of the new naval weapons from Tac Ops. Oh yeah.
The model used for this design is the Ground Zero Games FT-255 seen here:

Hope you like the design and the mini.

==Overview:==
Designed by the famed Doctor R. Raisley himself, and originally tested by
the Solaris Irregulars in combat, the Noton-class frigate is one of the
largest modern War Frigates built in the Human Sphere. No expense was spared
in the modeling and design phase, and in the testing phase a force of Solaris
Irregulars smashed raiders from the neighboring Marik-Stewart Commonwealth
into dust bunnies, proving the design a success. Designed to keep Solaris safe
from foreign adventurism it uses the best in Solarian technology to keep it
operating at peak capabilities.
It carries heavy armor, heavy weapons, and a full wing of AeroSpace
Fighters into battle, in addition to two DropShips and a large cargohold that
makes it good for supporting planetary defenses or raiding parties. It has a
small crew for its size, making heavy use of automation, but a company of
BattleArmor nearly doubles the number of people on board. The ASF pilots are
assigned luxury living quarters, while the technicians and small craft crews
share steerage arrangements. Two large 100-meter grav decks give the crew time
and room to exercise and eat, making deployment on a Noton fairly comfortable
as WarShips go.
Notons are rarely seen outside the Solaris Cooperative, though they are
open to selling them to people who are sufficiently friendly with them and
have the money, like the most trusted members of the Allied Mercenary Command.
Some reports suggest that the DropShip Irregulars for instance have one Noton
transporting each of their battalions. Other reports do not mention the Notons
though, suggesting that either the DropShip Irregulars do not have them or
that they are being uncommonly cagey about revealing such powerful assets.
That of course brings up the question of how they could hide such a
distinctive ship, but those few who have underestimated the ingenuity of the
DropShip Irregulars rarely do so after meeting them.
