Hey thanks mates!
In answer to some of the comment's to the saucer placement; I have always tried something new with my ships, but ironically I didn't with this one...Rather, I opted to use most of my tried concepts and merged them to fill my thoughts on a refit for the Enterprise. That saucer placement is one that I loved to use here and there, as it is structurally more sound, than it's normal placement, and more unique (at least in other fan and canon designs). The Enterprise in the new Films is perhaps the closest I have ever seen to something that I would have designed. Almost all the details used on her, I had explored in one way or another, years prior... I'm a conceptualist, it's what I do...lol. So When I saw the Ent, I was like, "Wow, nice! Something new and daring. Something I would have done." To me this refit is a first in many in exploration for me into a refit of the new Enterprise.
The Hardest thing to define with the New Ent is a look for a refit...meaning, in the Original TOS Ent, she was ultra-smooth and practical piece of art. While the TMP reft made the ship into less smooth, but more industrial and detailed. Now the new Enterprise, merged TOS and TMP in such a way, that you would have to create something more advanced and unique, but not so much as to be TNG. It's why I am leaning towards Fish musculature in the ship's grid lines.
Okay, I think I've typed enough to bore you guys, sorry.
