The more I look at this, the more this thing grows on me.
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return, to obtain, something of equal value must be lost.  That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.  In those days we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth~Alphonse Elric

That is because it is your galactic form. You call yourself eclipse, this ship is Eclipse class! :P

She certainly is a darlin' DJ. :D

for the record, this ship will get a hull color/pattern very similar to that on the Raptor.  You can see in the pic i'v already started a first layer of hull textures to the saucer.

 Wow! Just wow! I can't imagine what it'll look like when she's finished...

I'd forgotten she was to be the Enterprise G too... Are you going to make the namesake of the class too (Possibly with minor changes)? As you did with the Century?

 :( Enterprise G already? I'm still recoiling from the shock of the Ent F. Will there be a USS Eclipse reg texture as well?

yeah i think I'll release more than just the Enterprise.

Also, change of plans, I'm going with a different hull paneling style.

I'm interested to see what the rest of the saucer/triangle is like. :D

Looking slick there DJ.  You have a real sense of Starfleet aesthetics, especially when it comes to the future of the Grey Lady, especially in the nice details from Enterprises past that you incorporate.  Have a cookie!

Looking sweet Admiral Curtis. I was wondering, since this is the Enterprise-G. The HP is going to be able to rip apart the Enterprise E and etc in retrospect right? Cause newer the ship the better weapons and shielding. So are you going to custom create weapons to fit this like torpedoes etc? Or are you going to like use already created weapons and spruce them up some?

I think that the HP will be a distinctive one.  The phasers will be a modest increase over the F, but perhaps with a slightly different color or texture, as well as sound.  You'll note that the arrays on this ship have ribbing that runs lengthwise instead of across.  So I think some kind of difference is warranted, as one is intended.  As for torpedoes, I'm not sure yet.  I do intend that the hull of this ship will be very sturdy.

Probably will do a custom shuttle for the ship as well.

I have started adding windows to the saucer.  That should give you guys some sense of the scale of this ship.
