I liked the underside of the Mercy class hospital ship by Phantom Menace here (page 3). That had an interesting concavity where secondary hull and saucer flow together.
The saucer also seemed to rise here..maybe a convex flow of the aft secondary hull to a button nose deflector just below and behind your lower saucer?
added some detailing to the under saucer area, also started work on the docking bays for the hazardous material labs. each will be lab module that is completely sequestered from the rest of the ship, and can be jettisoned into space if needed.
I figure if this is going to be an advanced scout/research ship it's going to encounter some strange microbiology and technology that they won't want to study in a regular onboard lab.

As for today's update. The nacelle caps are coming along.

This and the Mercy seem to belong together.

Secondary hull in progress.
and a "model shop" render, for the fun of it.
