Been a while to check out BC files... but I am glad to see you are still producing.

This is by far my favorite work of yours! The design is highly plausible, it has great flow, and personally, the original nacelles worked really well (with the two large radiators, round collectors).

The only thing I'd suggest is to do something with the flat spot on the ventral side. Anything. A raised panel, some segmented armadillo like armor (much like the ablative Voyager armor?), a rounded bottom cap shaded in a highlight color, even an embedded scout ship.

I really want to see this one go to production (BC files :p).... keep up the work brother :)

My goodness, I see someone's getting better and better. Just yesterday I remember your first initial models on the forum. You have vastly improved. Keep up the good work.

Hi there,

I've been following this for a while, and I've gotta say I love how this is progressing.

The only thoughts I have are:
- The pylons look a bit... bulky? A bit thick. On most ships they're much thinner. Maybe flatten them a little?
- Have you considered moving the nacelles "up" a little, give the pylons a bit of a slope? I'll admit the whole inline look does look good, and I guess I'm just a bit conventional, but it may be worth a try, at least to see how it looks?

And definitely keep hold of the last-but-one design of the nacelles (the one before the one with the tiny Bussards). That looked pretty awesome, so keep that idea for a future ship, ok? :-)

ok will do
glad you like the ship... the pylons are thicker than normally seen partially due to my dislike of spindly pylons but for this ship its mainly due to the combat mode having the nacelles retract.

Third option - chamfer the edge between the sections in question and make it smooth.  Then it'll look like the Sovereign class saucer.
