The same ship and a smaller one. Probably battlecruiser and escort.

Keep up the good work!
I still think you should move the middle 'prong' back and make some sort of torpedo/missile launcher or deflector dish thing...

Re: Artists, Shipset designers, and other creative types, please read.
very cool. but i have to make one remark, please dont be offended:
i know they appear in all sorts of clasic sci-fi work, but i have to ask.. turbines in space? sure, sure, for that matter, why conning towers and wings. but turbines? must be to propel the ship thru the 'ether.'
i remember some William Gibson comment about a pLastic raygun he had as a kid. seems it was equipped with a ram-rod. no doubt for unclogging stuck-on globs of fussion power.

sorry to jump on the bandwaggon late, but i had to get my snide comment in:
what, you only have one?

They could easily be multi-armed centrifuges for an extremely high artifical G-Force. Virtual G's used in a tractor/repulsor beam, or maybe a WMG? Those kind of things you'd need to keep on the outside anyways.
The wings are so you can bank left, then turn right, catching the enemy by surprise 
The tower could be for the sensitive equipment/supplies/etc that need to be kept isolated from the main hull for security or safety reasons.
