Very nice work there. Some folks don't like it when you do triple nacelles and may crit them. Still, it works here.

It's an interesting design. I don't know about the third nacelle, however, but it does have a really good profile. Couple things: it needs more texture. It's waaaay too flat right now. It definitely needs some kind of aztec pattern on the saucer and paneling on the rest of the ship. Also, the bussard collectors are generally red and not orange.

3 nacelles are cool. It makes me think Dreadnought. :evil: Great work as usual, Animaniac. I like your design and the modeling (as usual) is most excellent.

Kudos on your design. It really works for me. It does need some aztec'ing or panel lines, however.

I have to say this is one of the fewest three-nacelle ships that I think looks good. Really well done!

Oh, I do like it though. I'm just not thinking Dreadnought. I'm thinking... escort.

Obviously, you've never read the book Dreadnought! by Diane Carey. (great book, and the first Star Trek book I ever read, way back in middle school) Besides, everyone knows that Star Trek Dreadoughts have 3 nacelles, mostly because of Franz Joseph. However, most of the time, 3 nacelles are FUGLY, on the Galaxy-class for example. But there are a few exceptions, I think this ship is one of them.
