I like the changes. This ship has a 'presence' that my favorite Enterpises have, that I never felt with the Enterprise-E.
Andy ones told me that he likes to do "organic" like design and that his strong belief is that organic shapes have stronger appearance/presents than artificial ones.
Nice to see this pop up, it must be alternative Enterprise-F week. I'm really liking the nacelles. The textures are good too, its always nice to see some rational window and escape pod placement.
One small quibble I have is that I think it would make more sense for the upper phaser array to be on the outward-facing rim instead of on the flat top of the saucer. It feels like firing along the plane of the saucer would be difficult where it's positioned now. I'm also not sure about the way the lower saucer arrays are broken up for no apparent reason. I know that's a trend with the Ent-E and Voyager, but personally I always preferred the way the Ent-D and Probert-C had long, solid arrays.

Yes this will be modified (there is a looong list) and you were on right (logical) track.
Very lovely design, I manage to make a LEGO moc of this design, but with a shorter neck as I did not have enough white pieces to make it right. For my version, I also tweak the nacelles and pylons a bit. I'll be posting pictures soon to show you what I mean.

Thank you for your interest in this project
The -F- is still it the works. Andy and I had to backtrack a bit and to reshape main hull. However now we are satisfied with the results and will continue with the detailing. My concern/wish here was to follow Andy's direction to the letter, because I wanted to make this to be a 100% close to his vision.
This almost looks too streamlined and modern to be in the Lost Era. Could almost serve as a replacement for the Galaxy-Class, or a mix of the Galaxy and Sovereign....

Yep, that was Andy's main idea and goal. Tho this one is a little bit smaller than the Galaxy, with about 506m of length (but faster and more agile -Andy's words:"Leaner and meaner").

No problem. I a big fan of Probert's work. I did a LEGO moc up of one his early Galaxy-Class bridge designs with the curved couches built into the opps and conn stations, I even did the two-story bridge his designed once, and also did a lego moc up of his Ambassador-Class. Sadly, I haven't posted the pics of them yet, as I am still doing other things and didn't have time for them.
As for Probert's E-F, I've taken pictures, but I need to retake them because I recently rebuild and refined partso f hte saucer and main body. Once I have new pics, I'll post them.
I find that the lack of a distinct engineering section leaves the design looking unbalanced and unfinished, kind of purposeless. Why all the unnecessary swooping around? The design would be more coherent if the "engineering boom" went straight back and the nacelle pylons angled down from that. Of course, it wouldn't look like part of the Enterprise line that way.

I rather disagree. It looks more refined, removing unnessecary breaks in the hull for the sake of detail, and also echoes the original Enterprise in smoothness. Although, I do wonder how a circular dish would look compared to the half moon deflector.
Your right to an opinion does not make your opinion valid.

All in good time. There is a very good reason for it...tho phasers positions might be changed later as well.
I love the (finished?) shape of the nacelles, and the position of those torpedo launchers.

I really like the design. As said, could easily be a mix between the Galaxy and Sovereign.

Ok, however since we havent done any new progress from my last post, Ill just upload couple these viewport screens for now.
PS -bottom and upper rings are actually placeholders for the sensor rings.
