>So, Gryph, any decision on which one you prefer yet?

Didn't I say like a week ago? Hmm. No, I guess I didn't, I just said I was leaning that way. My mistake, I could've sworn I followed that up.

Anyway, yeah, I like the one with the engines on top better. I had a mental picture that was more Reliant-like, but the marked top-and-bottom asymmetry of the Sovereign-style main hull makes it not really work in practice.

Also, upon further review, I think I specified too drastic a scaling-down; at that size she's not that much bigger than a Defiant, and she's supposed to be a frigate to the Sovereign's line-of-battle ship, as it were. I think maybe 75% would be more like it.
