For the holoship design, I like the second to the last sketch, where there was a definite Federation design to the side-nounted nacelles...where there was a red bussard ramscoop and a blue-glow warp grille mounted to the side of the holoship...that version would've been cooler!

The good looking holoship design would've never worked onscreen anyway: waaaay too big to sit on the lake bottom and not it's flat on the bottom.
I love the design but not for the holoship.

you think they couldn't beam out chunks of earth and beam in water?

I think they could've done all that, but I dont think Paramount would've/could've shown them doing all that.
Besides, that starship design is just too cool to be a one-off holoship.
....and I can attribute the strangeness of the Insurrection holoship to the alliance between the Son'a and Starfleet.

External nacelles would have at least been nice on the holoship. I'm sorry, but those warp engines and those of the Defiant blatantly violate one of the very few rules for ships Gene set down. Nacelles have to be able to have a 50% line of sight to each other, and be fully visible from the front (true, Defiant doesn't break that one).
Also, single/triple nacelle ships don't exist. Yes, the Galaxy nacelle is supposed to be like two wngines in one, so I'll accept the Ent-D AGT model, and even the Niagra, but the Freedom is just UGLY. The Freedom is just a mass hallucination that only the few people like me realize isn't real.

bah, it's realistic still. even ugly, it's cannon. you think the federation produces ONLY prestine ships? with no flaws what so ever? and it is a late model ship, the only thing keeping it modern is it's nassel. i recall seeing the Red Admiral putting earlier model nassels to speculate what it liked (the Niagara and Freedom are commonly thought of as ships from the era of the Ambassador class.)
