I have mixed feelings about the design. I like the look of the engine nacelles, for some reason they remind me of old 1950s\/60s cars that had those fins on either side on the back. The engineering section looks good and I like how the deflector dish at the front combines the old style “radar dish” look of the original television series with the lightup version of the movies and subsequent television series.<\/p>\n

It feels like it is sitting just a bit too far back, losing the sense that the Enterprise <\/em>looked as if it was leaning or surging forward as seen in the image to the left.<\/p>\n
