The general aesthetic of the Starfleet isn't very coherent, much less credible as the status quo for 2409.

As for the Eclipse: love that her crucial propulsion systems (impulse engines, deflector) are coved and thus have a reduced profile because someone looking for direct hits on either has to enter her optimal line of fire.

Okay, I worked on this yesterday and today.  Added a whole lot of hull details and greebles that probably need close-ups to see, but add realism overall.  Also did the cobra head.  Still WIP a though.  Textures are getting close.  :D

Whats that big black thing in the middle of the fangs? Looks nasty. :P
"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."

I totally forgot about the MVAM part of this ship, I thought for a second that you churned out another ship before I recognized the nacelles. :P  Good work on the cobra head. :D

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

well, i am planning on having some extras for this ship, including the Thunderbird as well as a couple types of shuttle craft that will be unique to this ship.  There is also something else I've got planned for it, though I don't want to spill the beans on that.

I invite you all to check out one of the little extras that I'll be packing up in the zip.

It's a full exterior orthographic schematic of the ship.  Make sure to hover your mouse of the labels, as some of them lead to other pages.  More will soon, this is an early version.
