Nice design, exept for the naccelles. they looks very cartoony as they are too fat in front.

I like that one alot, the only thing i can find a bit off in my eyes is the size of the saucer section, you say youver based the nacells off of the shape of the ship if it were split in half, but the curvature of the nacells is steeper than the saucer, perhaps widen the saucer a little bit to achieve some extra symmetry?

but overall, a very well drawn and details design concept. Kudos!  :yay: :thumbsup:

Suggestion for modification (widening the saucer):



Gotta say thou, I really like the design. I picture it being rather heavily armored, possibly with visible ablative armor?

have to say thats a good look and also if you check out my recent ships you will see modelled in armour with my style of  ablative texture.

I really like it.  I think it would be perfect if the saucer had the exact same width as the outside of the nacelles.  Great drawing, btw.

thank you sir, getting lost of praise for this ship may have to build her lol

hmm the reason the width of the saucer is less is because the nacelles are in line with the centre of the hight of the ship. but i could raise or lower them... or it may still work if i can make the nacelles visible by 50% (i think thats the rule)
