Why do you have Nacelle pylons with no Nacelles?
Are ya going to add some on? This is a WIP after all....

I'm curious to see whether the nacelles are above or below the centreline. . . might be quite interesting if they're below. . .

Soooo.... cooooool....

I love the shape of the saucer. I also like how the bridgr seems to be slightly forward of the center of the saucer. Somewhat Akira-esque in that way.

Nice.

An interesting design.
Perhaps it might be worth trying something a little unconventional here with the nacelles, like say have the pylons emerge from either side of the primary hull instead of the secondary.
Similar in a way to the Saber configuration.

Very, very cool. Might we see it with aft-swept nacelles? I'm just wondering...

Hey, that's a great design! Looks like a frigate-type model -- small and quick. The "ragged" rim of the hull reminds me of the Steamrunner.

I really need to see a side view before I can grok it to fullness. . .

Yeah, I too think aft-swept pylons might look better. Fwd-swept pylons don't tend to look right on otherwise sleek designs (IMO).

If I was going to further nitpick, I'd say the saucer is a little too busy with (unnecessary?) detail.

Hmm no. I think the details are ok as they are!
Look at the sovereign saucer:

What do you think? Is it overload with (unnecessary) details too?
