It seems to me like there could be something partially covering the engine connections like a cargo hold or an engine room or something.

One option could be to have grappling claws or a magnetic clamp on there, if it were a tug or cargo ship- a magnetic clamp would allow it to hold different generic containers and haul them around, a bit like a futuristic articulated lorry.

Good work so far- looking forward to the final outcome.

Agreed I like the tug idea too. Which in my opinion would help explain the lack of bulk between the habitable area of the ship and the engines themselves, the laws of mass still apply in space. And with the composite materials we have currently its not to hard to imagine that we will have a material capable of handling the stresses incured while firing the engines. Cant wait to see more of her. love it!
