ok then ^_^ well the book Starfleet Dynamics from David John Shimdt shows a interior view of the nacelle your using there but isnt the one your using here a LN-64

I think the LN-64 was their modified version... I'll have to double check on all that when I get to the articles later this week.
Here's an alternate take on the Jenghiz, which I was considering for the torpedo mount (one I use for other ships like the Loknar). I decided to see what Andrew Probert's suggestion would look like this time and flipped the nacelle orientation as well. Still, I'm far from settled on this class at the moment...
Interesting... I like the torpedoes placed there. But, what is the significance of that weird hump thing? I think it would look better if the 'neck' had it's normal back part. It kind of looks tacked on...Looks good to me
OR - this and the Reliant don't utilize the LN-40, but rather a different engine which happens to use a similar shell.
Lovin it! Glad you're back!

god I love your work! In the top view on this, shouldn't the impulse engines be divided by the neck extension as shown in the side view?
That ship sailed, so to speak, a quarter century ago with the Oberth-class having its saucer between the nacelles.
And arguably GR voided his own "edict" as soon as he signed off on FJ's designs for the Star Fleet Technical Manual in 1975.
Again FJ deserves a lot of the blame if you don't like the single-nacelle design of the Kelvin. The TNG modelmakers' Freedom-class then followed this tradition.
As for the "afterburner" you seem to dislike too, something had to move or change on the ends of the TOS Enterprise nacelles since they changed from shot to shot. It's not hard to imagine that the white spheres were glowing or could have illuminated and could have been a "lit up" version of the vents we saw in other shots. Is it okay for the front, top, and sides of nacelles to illuminate but not the rear?
There's nothing to indicate that, in-universe, the reverse didn't happen. The Miranda-class designers might've been dismayed when the engineering team working on the Enterprise refit put their nacelles on the pylons "wrong" and bodged together some sort of alternative power feed route.
I've heard that too.
Either:
(1) GR made up these "edicts" post-hoc simply to discredit the FJ designs, meaning we shouldn't take the rules as having any sort of engineering logic that applied to MJ's original design -- they'd just be specific ways to slam FJ's designs, or...
(2) GR made up these "edicts" during MJ's design process but sold out and signed off on the FJ designs to make a buck, meaning no one else in Trek should be held to a higher standard than that.
Either way, the "edicts" were first violated two or three decades ago, and they really don't have any place in canon Trek.
Hell, the nacelles on MJ's own shuttlecraft don't have an unobstructed view.
It wasn't just Franz Joseph that Roddenberry wanted to discredit. At the time, the other source of 'tech' information for Star Trek was primarily the FASA RPG (for better or worse). While the edicts were most obviously and specifically geared to discredit the Technical Manual, that wasn't the only target. Really, all it was was that Roddenberry wanted to take Trek back out of the hands that he, himself, had sold it to over a decade earlier.
And yes, Roddenberry did indeed personally sign off on the contents of the Technical Manual before its release, and only started speaking ill of it when the internal politics of TMP were going against him.
It means I got paid for some of this.
Which, unfortunately, is looking more and more neccessary to keep the site going. (It doesn't require MUCH, mind you, but I really need to get it self sufficient soon).
