Hi!

What's left to do? Just texture and then fly around?
Actually, I need to figure out how the underside part is. There isn't a single picture showing how it is

Well, the thing is that one of the things I like about this ship is it's simplicity. It really looks like an early-TOS era ship. Anyways I will add more detail in the textures.

Yes, that's possible

I think the key of this design is that it perfectly mixes the styles of the NX-01 and the original Enterprise. That's why I thought that the impulse drive should look similar to the one from the Connie. It also makes more interesting the aft side of the ship.

Yes, those are the two reference pics I have.

BTW, your ship looks GREAT!

Well, to be honest, I still have no idea how the underside is going to be like.
