Actually, that's given me exactly the idea I need. Shrink the space between the actual Nacelle and the Engineering on the front view, and she'd be perfect! Thanks mate! Now to come up with the design.

...Probably not, but the number I get(379.6m) could be considered ?original intent,? a term that I think I will be using from now on, and ?canon? be damned.

the front view reminds me a bit of the older mithra design(s)

Aeries did suggest that style too, seems it's the likely progression. :P

Sometimes you just need time to let an idea simmer before it starts going somewhere. Something I've learned recently  :funny

That's right, the USS Caliburn has been dusted off and I think I'm really enjoying where the design is going. The saucer is just the saucer from the old version, but I think the mockup on paper looks really good, so I'll get to that next. The nacelles are (clearly) borrowed, they were the only fully assembled nacelles I had lying around. I might have an idea for the Avalon Class nacelles, but one step at a time.

As you can see, she's been rolling around in shuttlebays and several of them have stuck on. To put the size in perspective, the side of the saucer is 8 (Sovereign) decks tall. The main shuttlebays are scaled to the Sovereigns, too, but the ones on the sides are somewhat larger. The bridge is two decks tall, topmost being the actual ship bridge, the second deck being fleet command.

(Yes, I know the cutaway disappeared, I didn't have time to re-render. :P)

Nice.  Only problem is that you can't say "Deck one, bridge" anymore. :P

Instead, you'd say "Command Deck, Bridge." Sounds classier! ;)

In this case, it counts separate to the deck it is aligned with.

I don't why but that blocky flatness gives it an almost SG feel to it i.e. practical with lack of flair. I like it. :)
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."
