Btw, feel free to post any relevant links about the Early Years ships here, photos or renders or art would be especially useful.

Excellent! Thanks Rod.
I'd also like to announce that I've decided that my personal "base year" when it comes to SFB is 2090, because that date makes the SFB timeline coincide on two very important occasions: 1) The founding of the Federation in 2161 and 2) the launching of the Constitution-class in 2216 (standard date usually figured between 2214-2220, the SFB date of 2216 is close enough.)
Of course, that makes the first warp-ship and contact with the Vulcans occur in 2090 according to SFB and not 2063 as per "First Contact", but what the hey. If we shift the entire SFB timeline based on 2063 the Federation and the Connies happen too early.
NOTE: The timeline in SFC seems to say the first Constitution was 2230, but we can actually take that to mean that's the first Constitution with the 4 X Photon + 6 X Ph1 arrangement. Since SFC is not much concerned with what happened during the "warp-targeted laser and Phaser-2 era", which can be referred to as the "Early Years", the SFB and SFC timeline are not necessarily totally in conflict with each other. Another point of agreement is the date for the D-6, which is the oldest major ship in the SFC timeline. SFC says it appeared in 2222, which is consistent with SFB's timeline that says it appeared after Y120 (2210).
Anyone who ever wanted to figure the SFB dates can use this base year date of 2090 as a good working extrapolation.
SFB timeline:
Y50 = 2140 = Launching of the Province-class light cruiser (OCL). (It's a pre-Federation starship!)
Y71 = 2161 = Founding of the UFP.
Y80 - Y120 = 2170 - 2210 = Early Years period. The Province-class receives its first of several warp-refits, 2 X 6pt engines. Later it gets 2 X 9pt engines.
Y100 = 2190 = F-YDN Early Dreadnought put into service. Base on enlarged F-YCA hull, armed with 8 X Ph2, 2 X Phot, 3 X 12pt engines.
Y126 = 2216 = Launching of the first Constitution-class heavy cruiser. 15pt engines start here.
************
The Early Years weapons: As far as SFC is concerned, fusion beams and Plasma-S are not allowed. The only Plasma available are F, G, R.
Many Y-era ships were converted into National Guard ships in the modern era (after Y120, 2210). They were given modern weapons.
Note this is way before the Four Years War which in the SFB timeline would be Y156 (2246).
