The emplacement of the pylons are much better than the predesign. I kind of like them now.

Definitely better... but now I'd elongate the nacelles a bit.

That's one heck of an improvement. You're certainly improving.

I'd be slapping a few more phaser strips on that. 'course, I'd put a sizable weapon load on anything :P

those older nacelles from the solo model pic would work great on my Anpw class.

yes well.... there are 9 on the dorsal side and when i put them on at least 8 on the ventral

also the ship will have a second that will be the USS Dragon, if you recall kcs she has pulse cannons :D.

I'm not too sure about these new nacelles, I think I preferred the old ones on this design, I'm not entirely sure why but they seem to work with the redesign better than the new ones IMHO.

I'd like to see the new nacelles with the old Bussards (or something reminiscent of them).
The new Bussards are so tiny...
But it looks good, otherwise!

must not have seen them because of the lighting (i barely saw the e-hull ones on the dorsal view).  I can see a couple places I'd put the torp launchers, but placing pulse phasers is a bit of a mystery, dunno where to put them that wouldn't interfere with torp lauchers.

I see a theme name going on, here.  for some reason the name USS Cymru popped into my head, as did a couple famous bodies of water with certian critters in it.

ever think about doing up the USS Scorpion, again?

Definitely the second one. Got some suggestions for modifications:



Basically, slightly wider in the front and back of the nacelle, perhaps even a little flattened compared to what it is now.

I swear you channel me, sometimes...that's the idea I had for both the Anpw and Independence original nacelles!
