I think windows near the bridge would work as well. I'd like to suggest they be oval in shape rather than rectangular or square and wider than they are tall.

I dunno man those gold phasers looked kinda neat. Perhaps keep that texture as an option? Then everyone can be happy.  The gold trim pruces it up a bit.

Phasers on the Nacelles itself?  Doesn't that violate some engineering principles?

It also makes the Nacelles an even more tempting target than they already are.  Just my opinion, but I think they should be removed from the Nacelles.

She's looking very purdy.  Keep up the good work!

Found what I was looking for..

It's been done in canon before, if you accept DS9 as canon.  ;)  The Oddessy and Venture both had phaser arrays on the nacelles in the Dominion War.  From Wikipedia:

"USS Venture    NCC-71854    DS9: "The Way of the Warrior, Part II", "Sacrifice of Angels", "Tears of the Prophets"    Responds to Klingon attack on Deep Space Nine and participates in the Dominion War. The model has the two extra phaser arrays on top of its nacelles like the Enterprise D in "All Good Things"."
..ooOOoo..totally useless information..ooOOoo..

that was explained as the people in the prop dept reversing the agt model back to a standard galaxy not realising those were supposed to be removed. But, how many things that defy engeneering principles end up happening due to advancements.

I can imagine that Galaxy classes had a pretty nasty blindspot when approached from behind. They were after all large and a bit cumbersome. I think nacelles are a primary target anyway, adding phaserstrips would only make ships think twice before making a run for the nacelles.

It's positions which mattered, the sovy had a dozen, yet it had a blindspot until it enjoyed additional strips.

yea, pitty we never saw the galaxy use them very often. One instance with the tamarians (or was it the husnok) where the ancelle pylon strips fired foreward and another was when ensign Ro made her pretend escape from the E's shuttlebay and they fired a few intentionaly wide shots to make it look good.

I gotta say I just kinda stumbled into this thread out of curiosity. Honestly a TNG remake has been done alot and its never done well so I wasn't expecting much but I must say that your ship design has blown me away. That's incredible and your modeling skills are superb. Thats an incredible job your doing, love the design.

BTW. I'm with lieutenant_Q, having phasers on the Nacelles doesn't feel right, the way you did it leaves excellent detail on the nacelles so I'd leave it one way or another. Excellent work!

I'm with you DarkThunder, I'm crossing my fingers this project hasn't died all of a sudden. I really want to see this one completed. Such a gorgeous design.
