Coool. Does it have a dropship? I'm going to side with the voice of reform and agree that the secondary hull is out of place. However, I'm not sure about the dropy-down-steamrunner-deflector-thingy... I think it would have to hang too far down in order to clear the saucer. It might not look that good if it had to drop that far. You might try the Nova route and put the main deflector in the saucer section.
I agree with Aban an Streamrunner like deflector wouldn't look right on the ship!
So to the secundary hull is that what u mean? I think it looks too NX 01 like now or not?

Actually, Lobo, I think you're right when you say it looks too NX-01ish at the moment. I didn't mind the bulge, for what it's worth.

I think i make the two versions of the ship. Than is first one the major version and the second a variant of this class.

I prefer the bulgeless version, but I see what you mean by it possibly looking too NX-01ish.
As for the hangy down bit, it isn't so much that I think it needs it as you've drawn it in your orthographic sketch, and from the looks of it we should be able to see at least part of it from the side.
On other hand, is that same feature visible in the Enterprise's profile? I'm not sure...

The bulge is a goodness. My girlfriend has said that to me on many an occasion.

Here is an comparison of the ships. New and old if you so want.

The ship looks great, and it looks better without the bulge in the middle, but perhaps I could suggest a bulge where that support bar between the nacelles meet. In the scetch it appears to sloop downward anyway. That might alter the Neo-NX-01 look...

Do you know why this looks good (apart from the fabulous artwork) is cause the NX-01 looks like it could exist in the 24th century ANYWAY - a few minor changes just shifts it back into 24th century focus. The real challenge - make the NX-01 look like it should fit in with TOS.
