I like it it can make a pretty good TOS carrier as well with a few mods
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

America-Not the land of the free anymore...
 Its the land of the freeloaders

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

I totally love this idea. It reminds me of the Navy Carriers with the Angled Fight Deck. What I see that this design needs is a very large on one side fighter bay and door structure to warrant such an unusual side pylon config. I think the offset bridge command structure is the way to go too. One thing that always irked me about fed carriers was that many of them had bay doors that opened right up into either impulse exhaust or warp pylons. This design would solve all that. Brilliant. Why no one thought of something like this before, I dunno. Brilliant.

Don't scream, but would a variant with symmetrical nacels work?

Again, nicely started AntiVyrus...I know you cannot see it, but you should add a second pylon that goes straight (horizontally) that would also connect into the Hull...more support :)

Oh and Kreeargh, go for it...I'd like to see how you take this

^^^ Oh yea I knew that - I really posted the link for the benefit of others to illustrate how the concept of asymmetry was applied in some aircraft designs, also as I know that these aircraft areone source of your inspiration as per our Luftwaffe chat sessions way back when. I encourage ppl to check it out.
