Scout/Research vessel - Long time no see!

Very slick. I love the concept of science labs that can be jettisoned; not only does it sound like a sensible idea, it also affords the opportunity for all sorts of high-stakes dramatic situations. (Good God man, get out of there! We have to jettison your section before the containers are breached!)

The only detail that’s throwing me a bit is the scale of the lights behind the translucent dome structure on the underside of the saucer. Each glowing orb looks like it’d be the size of a living room. The effect is quite lovely though, so it’s no biggie.

You’ve really come up with something quite unique!
:beer:
 
It's supposed to have a pretty beefy planetary sensor suite, so I was kind of going for giant and glowy. But that's just me. haha.

Neck and beginnings of secondary hull in progress:

Interesting seeing this come into play. With the secondary hull it seems like a successor to the Oberth but without it it seems like it's based off of the Franklin from "Star Trek: Beyond."
