 we're gonna be lucky to get THIS.  I don't think there's ever been a good clear shot of Nemesis to work from, anyway.  personally, I'd rather add Axalon and whatever the ship was that Ravage was flying as in game useables.  the Ark would make v'ger look like a space station in real scale (and the JJprise the CORRECT scale!) :P

Forward part of the stardrive may need some work, but the saucer and nacelles look pretty good. I'd probably widen the pylons a bit thou (say 50%), and move the nacelles closer to the hull.

Thanks DT (i swear it was a d not an s on my phone lol)

That's what I have so far... its still got aways to go.
as for nacelle distance etc... its my ship that has the moving nacelles to facilitate lesser power use during combat so they will move in lol

Looks very promising but I'd angle the nacelles a bit forward and down... would give it more of a streamlined look IMO.

As long as you keep retackling the Griffin, I'd put serious consideration into finding some other way to do telescoping pylons other than a huge chunky piston.  It doesn't really match the Star Trek i.p. and there's tons of engineering reasons why not to do it so hamfistedly.

Why not something like the Phoenix Spaceship from Dr. Cochrane had? (folding Pylons)?

I'm not suggesting that they can't literally extend linearly.  There's myriads of mechanical apparatuses that humanity has discovered over the years to accomplish such movements.
