And surprisingly, it meshes well (at least in my opinion).
Looking at the third pic I can definatly see the similarity with the Sovereign in the way those pylons are connected to the engineering section.

As I said the nacelles look great, very futuristic (as if the ship belonged to the 25th century or so, rather than the 24th).

I'm looking forward for those pics of the previous version

I won't say more in that regard, but sufficed to say I already wrote over 100 pages.
Sounds cool. Do you have a title for it?

BTW is 'Nightfire' the class-name or the name of the actual ship?
