I like it so far with one exception and this is to expand on the other person's post about the windows. Is it wise to place windows in the nacelle pylons? I mean, we all know that the pylons typically house the WPC's on route to the engine nacelles, so I would think that really the only other things within the pylons would be access tubes/tunnels to get to Nacelle Control. You have vents, emitters, sensors, etc that could also be placed on/in the pylons so this may really be construed as a "forbidden zone" or uninhabitable areas of the ship.
Sorry if it sounds a little picky but I thought i would lend some constructive critique. i also realize this isn't a finished version so maybe you have time to revisit the model?

I understand completely, I'd been considering that myself. My rationale was the fact that on the Galaxy Class, it was possible to enter the nacelle. Additionally, the section immediately below the nacelle where the pylons linked to the nacelles themselves had windows. I'll keep thinking about it lol but thanks

Well, I can see how there would be some similarity lol

Just one minor point: if the elongated ellipses on the pylons are windows then the ship is way out of scale with the base tower above it, looks like a deck on the ship is equiv to 5 decks on the station.

I'm not totally sure of your meaning, I just double checked the drydock and it's at the same scale as the ship, the windows line up. As for the Utopia Type stations, they're pretty far down and away. I'm not even sure how big the Utopia station is, but based on the window arrangement, it's only about a kilometer in height.
