That's looking ace.

How about a couple of variants? One with a spine and pod similar to a Nebula, and one with a role bar similar to the Luna.

I'll look at variants :) but here's an update (keep forgetting about more windows lol)

Looks awesome, not sure about modeled escape pods tho, seems like you could spare those polies somewhere else like cutouts for windows on ventral saucer hull or vents on nacelles / pylons ;) just thinking out loud :P

thanks Killallewoks

hmm good point... though i now have windows in the secondary section.

i also counted the polys.... she has 13096. and i think im done with the model, what is the limit for polys? I may be able to strip her of some if need be. (edit: i found the thread it says 15k is about average but its best to be lower and its good form to reduce the polys if you can   http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,5002.msg97293.html#msg97293)

her she is:

Definitely you're best peace. Only thing that looks odd to me is where the pylons come out of the nacelle grilles. Looks like they'd be going straight through coils.

How about the cupping type of pylon, it can wrap under the warp engines and come out the other side without appearing to go through the coils.

hmm well i had this idea that that basically is what happens, the nacelle slides along the pylon. i understand what you guys are getting at but its how i always imagined the nova concept.

ill see if i can build the inner workings of the nacelle and see if what i have imagined would work (lol this isnt voyager so i need to check this lol)

cheers again for the positive comments and praise (put a smile back on my face)
