I'm a bit confused. Akira is retro-developed to NX-01, NX-01 is further developed to neo-NX-01?
But it is an excellent sketch, a ship that would *really* continue the design lineage of NX-01 if there were no Akira. I appreciate how you have avoided using certain details like the raised double hulls sticking out from the main hull, and how you have added details from other ships of the time, like the Intrepid cut-out. Further developments (or retro-developments) of a design need style changes while maintaining the overall shape, and not slavish reproduction of details.

Extremely sleek. Reminds me of the TOSsified Intrepid class... I like how you've given this ship the opposite treatment

That would be a fun ship to build. Show it to some resin casters, maybe they'll be willing.

This is a neat ship, but, from my purely selfish point of view, which is not at all artistically inclined and so should not be listened to, the little secondary hull-like bulge doesn't quite fit. And I can't see where the hangy-down bit inbetween the nacelles is. I would think you could go the Steamrunner route, and pull it down a bit more and put the deflector there.
Or, you know, not.

I think the intent was a Nova/Sovvie contemporary.
And, um, I love it. A lot. I hereby confer "the-man"-hood on Lobo.

That is a really awesome ship. However, I would hav to concur with Simon in that the little secondary hull bulge doesn't look right. A hanging deflector � la Steamrunner would be very fitting for this ship.
