We chose the saucer with internal space to spare, taking an extra launcher is probably a good move.

Didn't we take the streamlined hull, not the one with more internal space?

Saucer was more internal room, secondary hull was streamlined with less space.

That's the secondary hull, we took the intrepid saucer witch was bigger than the Ulhaan one, more than enough room for an extra torpedo launcher.

We need to give it extremely tiny nacelles, the smaller and thinner the better.

Why don't we make them as chonky as possible instead?
Honestly, questers have said repeatedly that we want to make Project Sovereign a battleship. So, fine, let's make it a battleship.
Two rapid-fire frontal torpedo launchers. The largest phaser array ever built on a Federation starship, using the new Type XII phaser. This thing will be an absolute monster out of our enemy's worst nightmares.
To compensate, we could stay conservative on the nacelles, and if the deflector is a bit dicky? Well, it will either hurt our warp performance or ease of manufacture. If it's warp performance, we just chose an option which offsets that (you're welcome), and if it's ease of manufacture, then this can be partly offset by not taking prototype nacelles.

chonky saucer with skinny engineering section surrounded by 4 chonky nacelles.

4 nacelles is probably too prototype for this, I feel?

No, four nacelles is perfection.

Which is why we only use two. To reach for perfection is the height of hubris, the Federation must remain humble.

We're looking at taking the prototype phasers for 1 Prototype. I don't think we're going to have any more in Internals, and we could probably work without a prototype Impulse thruster, so depending on whether or not we go crawling back to Yoyodyne taking this would put at 2-3 Prototypes total. That's perfectly within my own "safe enough" range, let's take it.

I mean, I wouldn't be too put out if you cut back the intricacy of the diagrams to make them easier on yourself. I love them, but the last two feel like they've gotten a lot busier than the first trio we made if that makes sense.
