OK, I think I decided on the one tier engine, and I refined the shapes some more...
Oh, and I turned them on this time.
Rebooted Miranda Class...

If you look at images of Enterprise and Kelvin, the colors seem to pulsate between dark red, and almost white. I used my Enterprise texture for this one, where I put in dark squares to simulate that effect...
Why? It's using the Kelvin style, so it is more primitive anyway.Single seems to work visually better, but I also like the idea of the Miranda class using an 'older' impulse assembly rather than the Enterprise... so.. I'm torn.
I think I'll stick with this, and see how it goes. Now I have to figure out what to do with the roll bar...
How does the torpedo launcher from the Enterprise look on it? I would imagine that it would be like the torpedo launcher on the refit config Reliant in TWOK in that it's similar to the Enterprise's modular parts.
And could it have fore and aft launchers?
If you mean stuck as in the basic shape, I would go for something that echos the overall shape of the main hull.
fat end forward, imo, hehe. Your current pod, at least the latest one we can see the overall shape of seems at odds with the rest of the ship in that it is angled forward.

Yep, that was my issue with it, all right. I think I might just give it 2 forward tubes, and 1 rear tube... I think that will be more than sufficient. I like the idea of the middle one...

Well, it seems that I lost my post....
Here we go again...
I decided to pull up an old 3d mesh of reliant I had, and use that pod for reference. I took that general shape, inverted it, and I think it works well.
Sometimes simple is better. I'm going to put two tubes up front, and one in the rear. That should give it enough power, I think.

Looking very nice, MadMan!
I realize that the front of the secondary hulls is just temporary as it is now - but I do think having them slowly blend into the saucer would look really sweet (and JJ-ish).
here is a visual example of what I mean - Have the front of the 2ndary hulls blend into the saucer just as the Mig-29's engines blends into its body: http://thesinosaudiblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/mig-29-2.jpg

Perhaps something like this:
That way you can have the blending, but keep the sensors there as well.

Yeah, I like both of these ideas. Maybe I can play with this a few minutes tonight...

At first glance I thought I was looking at some sort of artistic re-interpretation of the Enterprise E's deflector housing.
