 ;D Nicely done!

A lot less fan boyish than the over weaponized original.

It is going to be a damn shame to have to blow this up...

Wow, that's an huge ship.
Very good looking.

Have you thought in merging the nacelles in each side?

Yes, like it was just one massive and robust piece. "Tankish" style. Some have small wheels and other have big ones.
But its just me giving ideias  ;D
I like it.

Need 4 more engine power points at least, if only to hold the 4 extra photons when loaded.

OK, back when Oceankayne posted up a similar version of this design, a little over a year ago:
http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163394087.msg1123047094.html#msg1123047094 (http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163394087.msg1123047094.html#msg1123047094)

I suggested this modification to the rear landing bays, essentially extending/adding a landing platform between the two shuttle bay door platforms. Note that the upper center (fighter) bay door folds down onto the platform, hence the 'lighter pad/area' on the center platform...

(http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=163394087.0;attach=39004;image)

I'm suggesting this idea again, as I still think it looks cool!
 ;)

The lower rear center bay door could perhaps similarly fold upwards against the bottom of the platform, if you like the concept...

Nice work.

I made an SFB-inspired Gorn CA model a very long time ago with Milkshape because I wasn't thrilled about 14 Degrees East's alligator/stapler model. But over time, I have become very fond of these default Gorn models in SFC. Go figure.

Anyways, I think that Battleships look cluttered and fragile with 4 skinny warp nacelles. I wonder if these BB's would be more elegant and impressive with a pair of oversized warp engines, held in a V-orientation by sturdy pylons. Perhaps there are techno-babble limits to the maximum size of any warp engine (~16 SFB boxes?), and therefore the Dreadnoughts need 3 and the Battleships need 4. Shrug.
