they're nothing of consequence.  I just like the way they look.  er.. I mean.. they're inter-spacial subspace amplifiers.  yeah... that's it.

The deflector size is fine, it fits the new shape and style of the ship. I think it rocks.
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D

So, you mean to say that you whipped this up without really meaning to?  Okay, DJ is officially the BCC "Scotty".  That is just fantastic.  I do agree with the majority about the deflector, but it still looks great.

And here I was thinking they were auxiliary bussard ram-scoops to provide supplemental matter injection to the trans-warp sequence initiators.

I guess I missed that lecture at Starfleet's Advanced Engineering Post-graduate Course. But you know how it is... I was getting my Weasel wet with a hot Vulcan cadet on Risa.

from this point on, they are Supplemental matter injectors for the trans-warp sequence initiators.

That's a DAMN nice Connie. Personally, I like that deflector dish just the way it is. It could be a far-future Connie refit...

Oh hell, just smack me for even saying that.

Yeah, this is well, ok I guess...... NOT

Very nice design!

I agree that the deflector needs to be increased in size... but just a bit, it looks pretty good right now but a little bigger will make it more balanced IMO

I actually think those thingys on top of the nacelles are supercharger ram scoops  :D

Wow, DJ, you really did the old girl justice, well done! :D Your models, Wiley's textures... I think we have a Bridge Commander Revolution on the horizon! cookie for you, and your amazing modeling work. And, a cookie for Wiley, for taking on the challenge. Best wishes, both of you. And again, good work.

...those tubes aren't flux capacitors? Damn....

if this is going to be a future ships may want to think about redoing the phasers into something more futuristic like micro arrays on the saucer and standard arrays on the pylons and sec hull

Hmmm, then perhaps what you think would be the refit version of Abram's 1701?

Or maybe it's just redesigned to look cool, or simply in a random impulse without any other real thought? :/ Anyone consider that?

My only frown goes to the deflector dish (or what's it called again). Making it larger adds some majestic flair to the ship. But woah, I love this vessel for real!
