I say have the Deflector imbedded in the front of the saucer section kinda like how the Enterprise-D has a small deflector grid inbedded in its saucer section, used when the Saucer seperates away from the Battle section at warp speeds.

As for Impulse engines, I didn't notice that before Sand.  The original sketches don't seem to show any type of Impulse system.  I say if your going to add impulse engines, they should be centerlined and not on the Pylons.

Well, the deflector system is like on the Constellation, uses other systems to achieve the same result.

Been thinking of putting the impulse on the rear of the 2ndary...what do you think?

If you do the "center line" thingy ...  I would put it on the primary hull.  If you decided to put it on the secondary ..  hmmmm  well I think close to the secondary ..  but still on the pylons.

Either one of the two ...

Out side of that ....  your choice !

Hey Sand, I was looking over the schematics of the ship from EAS and I think the sketches do indicate a type of deflector.  Its really small, but on the cross section of the bottom Pylon, there seems to be a tiny light blue are that might indicate a small Deflector emitter.

I took a look as well and it does appear the lower saucer dome is blue and could very possibly be the deflector, I can also see the area Magnum is referring to as well. And it appears as if in the center of the Top Pylon crossbar there's a photon launchers as well.

yeah !  those look ok.

I think you  can do the torp launcher off of the vertical nacelle supports  (like you see in some Fed DD's )
