Galileo 7 redesigned

RAF-MX
I think your Galileo 7 shuttlecraft redesign is extremely well thought-out and conceived. It has a sturdy look to it that has kept some components of the original, while adding more realism and detail to the design. Some have commented on the hatch configuration, regarding the lower half of the hatch. I am reminded of the lower part of the door on the original LEARJET. Considering that, the original shuttlecraft's design had a footpad on the nacelle. It makes quiet good sense to have it open in the gap between the hull and nacelle. I have only one question that regards the overall design in the original and your own. That is in the layout of the nacelle. From my prospective, if you lost your antigravity-float/ thruster-systems, the nacelle would take a lot of pounding on landing. Considering, it is supposedly a warp-shuttle; an awful lot of energy would be released. In such a case, the probable outcome could mean a loss of shuttle and crew. Overall, I think it is an outstanding effort on your part. Well Done!
 
looks more sturdy too wouldnt mind driving it to the Target or Walmart on Saturdays :)
 
I like this, and to be completely honest. I think Star Trek, could use a little bit of Star Wars realism. Just a pinch though. :techman:
 
When I first saw this design, I immediately thought that it actually would complement Madkoifish's Alt Constitution design pretty well. Other than the thrusters, it is a pretty sleek design.
