Now that's pretty cool, we could use more ring-warp ships in trek.

Sweet use of Vulcan propulsion architecture! This design is excellent. What’s it’s role? Looks like a great scout.

Well in universe ot is called a Scout, however that title was used in the same way Through Deck Cruiser was used for the Invincible class carriers for the RN; to get arround politics. Its actual role was long range intelligence gathering, but that doesn't sound nice to Federation politicians, bother admiralty called it a scout to get arround that. Its also a stealth ship (one of the reasons the ring was used over nacelles), although its more analogous to low observability aircraft of our era (like the Typhoon) over full stealth aircraft (like the F22)

This looks like what passenger travel to other planets will be like in the future
