I went and designed what I figure Confed battleships might have looked like before they fell out of favor. I had pretty much nothing to go on, so I tried to incorporate typical battleship features (heavy armor, big guns) with a hull that combines the boxiness of pre-war designs with some of the aesthetics of later designs like the Confederation-class dreadnoughts.
I don't really know what sort of big gun reigned supreme during the early 2600s, but my guess is that they were beefed up anti-matter guns. The laser armament is pretty much a logical step up from that of lighter capital ships.
Illustrious-Class Battleship (circa 2635)
Length: 950 meters
Mass: 45,000 tonnes
Max Velocity: 150 k/s
Criuse Velocity: 100 k/s
Max Y/P/R: 1/1/1 deg/s
Armament:
Dual Heavy Anti-Matter Gun Turrets (4)
Dual Laser Turrets (28)
