Thanks for the kind words! i'll post a few pics of my concept sketches and a few ideas i have for where i'm going with some of the details later.
One of the more unorthodox-for-trek ideas i have for this one is to put the main hangar bay up in the neck, with almost forward facing egress. i also want to keep voyager's phaser strips, and for torpedo launchers i'm mixing the gun style of the NX with the permanent mounting styles used on Voy. but more on that later!
