Hello there!
I first found your art on a thread on SpaceBattles, and I quickly gravitated to the Concordiat-verse designs, especially the lore.
Recently, when I was looking at your dreadnought designs, I was reminded of a concept created by David C. Mueller (he does have a Deviantart account, but it's been long abandoned by now); specifically, this Constitution-class redesign.
(Here is what the exterior looks like for context.)
The part of the cutaway I want to point out is that the warp cores (yes, there are two of them) as well as the antimatter tanks are located in the nacelles, with the main engineering space in the secondary hull dedicated to power distribution.
The way I see it, this arrangement would not only serve to keep the antimatter far from the ships habitable spaces, but also dramatically decrease the maintenance time of any given ship (simply swap out the used nacelles for fresh ones from storage), as well as freeing up space in the engineering hull for other equipment.
This would also mean that more warp engines DOES equal more power, to an extent.
The two major downsides I can see would be the need to constantly synchronize the warp cores in order to produce a stable warp bubble, and the fact that, should one of the nacelles be damaged or destroyed in a battle, a ship could potentially lose warp capability altogether.
Thank you for watching ;-)
I love your elliptical and scout saucers; I do. However; I was wondering if you could make your elliptical saucer more oval in shape. You see; I’m trying to make an TMP Era variant of the Sovereign Class, and I already have everything else I need to make it. I only need the saucer.
Thanks for your favorite, I offer commission and adult subscriptions for all genres, if you are interested you can join ♥️

thx for the watch, feel free to comment ;)
Hey; I think I’ve come up with a Constitution Class refit version of the Sovereign Class, but I need help. Do you have a smaller scale version of the elliptical saucer? I’m using the Ranger Class secondary hull for the body; but the elliptical saucer’s underbelly rests just in front of the torpedo launcher, and if the ship were to go into battle; the saucer would be blown to bits from launching it’s first photon torpedo….
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far
