I know you've come a long way from this but it looks very good and promising; if the nacelles were integral part of the hull I could see the new shape Federation ship designers could go with. Something away from traditional, now 300yrs, separated Saucer/Hull/Nacelles philosophy.

But I would definitely fly the one you have made so far. :)

Considering the Wells, this is what they end up doing for the most part.

I started looking through files to find this ONE ship and basically just posted some stuff to maybe inspire you a bit in some way for this project or future ones. All these ships have some kind of different idea to them with the exception of the Armada..which I was just fanboying over a little bit.

Armada Class

Anomie Class
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 5485_2.jpg

Black Elk (Battleship? wish there was a better shot of this..)
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 2141_1.jpg

Blitzkreig Class (This was a old favorite of mine in SFC3..wish they had better pics up..)
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/files/7949.jpg

Concord Class
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 6067_1.jpg

Corinthian Class
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 6482_1.jpg

Corona Class
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 6485_1.jpg

Courageous Class (Might give you some ideas for this project)
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 0229_1.jpg

Hecate Class (Personal favorite)
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 2586_1.jpg

Excalibur Class (I always liked this since it was a "light" canon ship..never made it to the show though)
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 5899_1.jpg

Achilles Class as posted above
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 5632_1.jpg

Valient Class (Why?)
http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/17/ ... 6079_1.jpg

I still have not found the ship I'm looking for..

EDIT: Scratch that! Found it!

Eximius Class
http://www.staryards.com/Images/demos/Eximius_1.jpg
http://www.staryards.com/Images/demos/Eximius_2.jpg
http://www.staryards.com/Images/demos/Eximius_3.jpg

Always been a huge fan of this particular fan made ship in SFC3. I believe it was based off of a concept design from Rademaker back in the day when he made up ships for SFC3.

I quite like the Eximius Class, it's like an updated Steamrunner. :)

Everything just flows really well for being like a Prometheus and Sovereign kitbash of epic proportions.

I remember the Eximus Class from an Armada 2 mod.

This is where I am so far. Toying with hull panel detail and fixing the mesh. About 10% done so far.

I'd be tempted to have a phaser strip running along the underside of the roll-bar , that section seems to be bit of a blind spot atm
Likewise , maybe two short ones either side of the upper edge too

Long story short.
I'm coming up against the hard limitations of C4D as far as modeling is concerned and I'm considering going back to 3ds Max.

Going to start the main hull mesh over again tomorrow as well as the pylons. The overall design isn't changing, but I'm going to make a new cleaner mesh, and reorganise the way I add details and create (sharper) edges.
