Ok. The first support are more practical...you can at least go and live into them. I will go back to the original beam.
I am gonna try doing something else for the nacelle. The saucer of the Promotheus ? I'll do some research on that. Does it look like a fish = totally. A lot of our designs are based on the nature surrounding us.

From the VOY episode "Message in a Bottle," if that helps.
Yah. I saw the type of saucer of the Prometheus. I will try it up to see how it looks.
Here's an update. I redid the nacelles, tell me what you think. They make me think of Batarangs...but apart that I like them. Maybe it's the tipping "nose" on the top that is out of place...
I tried a triangular saucer like the Prometheus...that didn't work very well. Mainly because Cinema 4D has a special way to make a pyramydal form, and it was very hard to handle the polygones. But also it didn't fit very well...
You can see I did a little bit of work almost everywhere to enhance the surface, and give it more depth. I completely redid my saucer because the texture was all over the place...

Begun some texturing. Got a problem with one, but for now I am doing the saucer section.
Awesome
It's the exact same oval shape as the Enterprise E (On purpose). Exception that it isn't flat out on the lower part. The only problem is that Cinema 4D strech the polygons to make an oval. You see there isn't an oval shape in C4D, you have to make it with a sphere or a cylinder. Either way it doesn't do the oval shape justice because there is always a certain amount of deformation. I work around it...
As you can see I have updated my previous image with new texture. The lime texture are actually large glass windows with a luminosity and reflection. Either aluminium or titanium glass (They discarded Coconut glass 
, the Ferengi were eating it). Anyway here is a picture with only one low spotlight:

Well, I've always thought the Enterprise E was hideous.
But it's not just that the saucer looks stretched out. It looks stretched out compared with the relatively compact aft section of the shift. It's unbalanced.
Oh neat. I like the placement of the name. Don't think I've ever seen a mesh with that arrangement before. Interesting spelling...
You're right.
It's all man-like up top and all horse-like on the bottom.
It's so... Centaury...
i like this ship especially the way you went along a differant route then the cylinder/ tubes of the other ships
It has an intresting look. I think it can fit, considering the Federation is supposed to be made up of diverse cultures and races- they can contribute designs and ships too!
