Well, I'm slowly making progress. Since my version is based upon the old NCC-66010 USS Cardiff (by Paul Llloyd, around 1998), but it´s not an exact copy of the original and, instead of it, has some changes and personal touches, I decided to name it NCC-66011, USS Francis Drake .
Interesting design, seems to have a vulcan style warp drive going on there too. I'm not wild on the super chunky nacelles but it's always good to see something different I guess. From a lore perspective, 66011 seems very high for a ship that appears to be ambassador class era (going by the saucer design), 66011 puts us round the Voyager era.

Thanks Mike.
Yeah, This ship has two warp engines, beiing one of them vulcan, but I´m still thinking about how to describe their functions, Something about slipstream, transwarp, a experimental tech...
Yeah, in my head it fits the Ambassador class timeframe, maybe a bit ahead. And you´re right, 66011 is to much for this era. I will change it... maybe I will just remove the first six.
This feels like maybe something from an animated Trek series, which I mean with the utmost respect. It's cute in a way that's a bit trickier to get away with in "serious live aciton." I can see it being like a fusion of two hulls that an alien race put together out of need of a ship, you know? Scavengers at the edge of a system or something after the fall of the Federation.
Really liking this design.
My only suggestion would be to make the dorsal connection a bit more graceful or integrated into the the two hulls. It feels too 'sharp' compared to the other surfaces.

New naceles and shuttle bay.
