New ship 3d model sketch.
You can view the model in the 3d viewer here:

Heavily inspired Sovereign Class and MKF's current design. Maybe too similar? I think that's mostly the saucer though. I love long slender nacelles.
This project is probably going to be a slow burner.
Any thoughts, references or suggestions?

In terms of suggestions, from the side profile the design seems slightly front heavy. Maybe move the nacelles back a smidge or make them longer? Cut a bit off the forward part of the saucer?
Anyway, you're the designer, so I'll leave it up to you to do what you please
Heres the newest version:

How about this?

Haven't had much time to work on this of late, hopefully some real movement this week. I've swept the pylons and nacelles forward and given it a better look from the forward and beneath view points. I'm 99.95% happy with the shape so it'll be a case of figuring out the details and re-meshing this week.
Remeshed the ship, decided on making it more muscular. Working out what is to go where etc. If you've got any thoughts and suggestions please let me know. Thanks to all the comments so far.

cant wait to see it with textures.
Just one little critique, I think the nacelles could be widened a bit. Just give them a bit more mass to balance with the rest of the ship.
Look forward to see where you go from here.
Great suggestion, I'll do this on the next version I upload. Going to work on the saucer and tbe bridge next.great suggestion, I'll do this on the next version I upload. Going to work on the saucer and tbe bridge next.
Here's a preview: (lots of mesh errors atm too)

Let me know your thoughts.
Thank you.
Having said more negatives than I planned - I'll say she's got a lot of great angles.
And I liked the position of your impulse engines on the lower nacelle struts.
Maybe push the design of the saucer a little further (similar to Ent E) as the engineering hull looks more advanced.

Semi reverted the hull back to a more ent-e style, though not completely, I've also tapered the nacelles from the top down view to make them smaller looking.
Beyond a bit of cleaning up. I want to fix the hull and start working on details. So if you have any major changes or bits of feedback, say them now or forever hold your peace.
I really need to finish this mother****ing mesh.
