    Those are Probert’s sketches, but they are indeed what I based the ACE nacelle on. I think the side, top, and front are on Bernard’s Treknographics site under “Cygnus-class”.

    That’s it.

    There was a longer Belknap type secondary type hull that was fashioned after yours.
    Similar to these two

    I often thought that a good post TMP-era Galaxy class would have that hull—your ACE nacelles, and an Ariel type saucer with the edge treatment of the saucer here:

    Ariel’s saucer would be a tad taller…have 10 forward, etc.

    No Excelsior distraction—-it would point more directly to the Ent-D.
