Ok so I have a little bit of an update
I think I have completed the look of the nacelle for this ship.
This is going to be the final version of the nacelles I think, and right now I'd consider this part complete.

I haven't planned to much on phasers yet as I want them to be the very last thing I do with everything on the ship. But anyway, I know there will be two traditional strips on the underside of this saucer, where on the dorsal saucer section I will put phasers is something I don't know yet.
I wanted to do 2 variants of this ship one with the original deflector section and one with a more traditional deflector section, but I am definitely increasing the amount to 3 (maybe even 4) variants based on nacelle style and deflector style (essentially the different combination of 2 deflector styles and 2 nacelle styles). This is because I found Atolm's original concept sketch (

Anywho, after looking at Atolm's original concept of the nacelles, I think they will be very easy to create and I am definitely wanting to include them on the regular ship as well as use them for the nacelles in the version of the ship I plan to do later with a traditional deflector, it should look good when I get to that point ;)
NINJA EDIT:Ok I think I might
actually want to go with this look for the nacelles instead, what do you guys think:
I think it looks a little better this way now that I think about it, and more even too.
And.... I figured out how to get images to work
