Haha.  Guess I need to rename the thread, eh?

As for the name, it's just a modest proposal, but I thought it was good given the ship's construction time.  :)

Also, I think a pod on top might not be a bad idea, I'll give it a try.

Thanks guys.  I've been thinking about the pod, and I'm going to redo the area on the spine that has a triangular shape, it's in front of the spine phaser array.  It will be like a plug in spot where a pod support would drop on.

Here's an update:

Thanks CDR and 001.

Flarespire, I'll see about the nacelles.  I might be able to give them a touch more length.

Update.

I think a deflector can really make or break a ship's overall aesthetic.

Looks very good DJ.  Although those nacelles look too skinny and too long. *wink wink* :P
