I like. Be wary of the impulse engines that should be where the aft end of your warp cores are.

Nitpick: Why can we see two fwd torp launchers in the weapon pod? There should only be one shown since the 4 fwd tubes are all on the same plane.

There are about 3 more right below those 4 in the weapons pod.

Wrong. For one thing, they're not the same size opening. Second, there's already 12 tubes in the pod without the supposed 3 extras. The image in Starship Spotter shows that the two aft ends of the pod have 4 tubes each.

hmm, people used to be able to view files without logging in, I will try a different host. Btw, I got the pic I am trying to show you from Hobbes' site(if you guys know him).

Edit- I have changed the host, the link works now.

We've always been looking at up to 23 torpedo tubes - I've always thought that Yeager had forgotten about the non-pod launchers.

Also, why does the through-deck dip down like that? It'd be more efficient simply to keep everything on one level.

as i've pointed out before, the Akira-class cutaway needs a fixed representation, since MSD cutaways occur on the ships centerline.. there are no decks on the centerline above the bridge or in the catamarans.. youll need to draw an outline of the ship at its center plane and draw that cutaway first, the add the catamaran cutaways as presented from a different plane.

I've been doing this in my 'bored' time, but I'll be doing a seprate section for the catamarans and removing them from the one above.

I'll also reposition the bottom 3 torpeedo launchers to conform more with the original design.
