I would expect the Federation to help with an exploration ship not a Bird of Prey. You can have a deflector like the Defiant's and still have forward torp tube. Also, the BoP's guns are hinged. Slick looking designs though.

You may not have to do anything if the guns are high enough, and the curve of the engine casing shallow enough. It could look like this

The problem is if it looks more like this.

The other options are, move the engines outward, slightly. Make the engines thinner. Move the top engine down and the bottom engines up. Do two of them or all of them. By the way, I like that the major gaps are filled with armor, since Moore said the Galactica was supposed to have its armor removed as part of its decommissioning, rather than always having been ribbed for her pleasure.
