Well pylons got to stay the way they are as if i'd like to make them thicker i'd have to make ventral torpedo pod bigger and that would look ugly, as for the dorsal pod i may lower it a bit and see how it'll look like, glad you all like it :D
it needs a r-r-r-r-roll bar
I will not add a rollbar as it has really good looking weapons pod from Nefertari class which look more up to date with Nem era ;)

It looks a bit like the Chabot. The only differences are the warp engines and the fact that the red parts of the middle impulse are close together! Still looks great tho.
Wrong :D it's entirely different model, Chabot used original Excelsior refit model with Sovvy nacelles, this one uses Sorcerer model with Tiburon nacelles ;)
Marvelous job Bones glad that you used WZ tiburon nacelles. Whole ship looks more streamlined and the way u redid the impulse engine whew most amazing

Maybe add a bit more to the underside of the Centaur-refit thingy. Looks a bit flimsy and easily breakable.

It puts me off though. I feel like i could grab the neck and snap it off. I personally, and remember, this is personally, I think more could be added. I'm convinced that it's bending as well. So get me my pills.

Here's how it look, also I've almost finished retexturing the weapons pod and pylons, just need to add some details to necks and voila :D

Looks way better now. Has more of the Centuar feel.

Minotaur sounds perfect. These names are all myth related which I find good. Keeps in the famiy.

don't know about you but I think those nacelle Pylons need to be a bit thicker
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

They are about the same size as original Excelsior pylons and Excesior had bigger nacelles ;)
