Think of it like Voyager. A lot of the Intrepid-class's engineering hull is beneath the saucer section. Meanwhile the Sovereign is a bit more sleek and trails off behind the saucer by comparison.

[X] Compact Hull (Internal Space)
Honestly, if this winds up having a neck, I'm going to be inclined to vote towards this turning into essentially Adam Ihle's design for the Odyssey-class. Even if our version has a solid neck instead of the split design seen in Ihle's artwork (and is generally slimmed down/shrunken by comparison, to better match the canon Sovereign-class for size), it still seems like a valid design to pick for a hero ship.

But we skipped on designing the Prometheus?

[X] Streamlined Hull (Warp Efficiency)
You eventually decide that the savings in warp efficiency and resulting velocity increases are worth cutting back the secondary hull to a more conservative form-factor. The secondary hull slopes down the dorsal surface to a small shuttlebay at the far aft, while below the primary hull it sweeps back towards the deflector. But what deflector?
The first option is a standard anti-proton charged deflector. The Endeavour pioneered the technology and you will have no problem installing it here on the Sovereign. The second option is an ultra-wide deflector, which stretches the dish as wide as possible in order to conserve vertical space. This would give you the opportunity to mount an extra torpedo launcher below the main dish as well as the standard arrangement, but attempting to modify the anti-proton dish in this manner could be touch-and-go.

Oof, I'm really not sure about this one. Another torpedo launcher would be nice but the deflector dish sounds like one of those finicky components. Probably not quite as bad as the Nacelles but worse than new guns
Ya I'm I'm wanting to leave this standard. We can up tactical score in the tatical votes.
Personally I wouldn't want to underestimate a whole other frontal torpedo launcher. That sounds like a significant increase in firepower to me. Though I guess I don't know how many we have already?
I think we have one launcher that fires 4 torpedoes. This would double it to 2 launchers firing a total spread of 8. Ngl, it's a hefty amount of firepower and basically gets us most of the advantage of the Ushaan disk but IDK how temperamental the deflectors are

Usual complement is one fore, one aft. But with this absolute unit of a lad, who knows tbh...

So the circular antiproton dish of the canon Sovereign class compared to the ultra wide oval dish of the canon Intrepid class?

He's gonna make the Ambassador look like a fucking frigate.
Just imagine the chonk if thr other option had won though.
