I believe we now have an empirical proof that Chriswriter's taste is objectively terrible.

I believe we now have an empirical proof that Chriswriter's taste is objectively terrible.
We should attach the Precursor Cloaking Device from the Kadak-Tor to it, load it with warp capable Genesis torpedoes, place it under control of the M-5 Computer, infect it with the Biophage, then slingshot it into the past so it can stop the war before it begins.
What could possibly go wrong?
P.S. plz no militarize
Let's compare and contrast shall we?
The Nacelles are pointed backwards! If they were the right way around, he Akira would look halfway decent.

Now if you want a really "good" design, we should build a Yeager-class!
The Maquis Raider?

Nah. We need some memetic Defiants up in here.
Did someone say Ben Sisko's motherfucking pimp hand?
The reason I ask is because it sounded like someone said Ben Sisko's motherfucking pimp hand.

Our current outlook for the next combat escort (a modified New Orleans) is basically intended to be tankier than a Miranda but otherwise mostly similar. It'll especially be useful once the combat cap approaches, and since we have other ship projects in the interim by the time the Nawlins is in production that cap may well be a concern.

I'd say rollbar, but the rollbar is also supposed to carry all the torpedoes, and you don't have to be an engineer to consider putting the two together a bad plan.
I'd assume the core is somewhere deep within the main saucer section to provide it the most protection, probably with some sort of emergency shaft for rapid ejection.

I have no idea how canon they are, but most diagrams of the Akira agree that the warp core and main engineering are deep in the bowels of the fat part of the saucer section, almost right where the ventral bulge below the saucer meets the saucer itself.

It actually might not be. If you put all the dangerous antimatter systems in one place, it'd be easier to design failsafes for them.

That's true, but at the same time torpedo stations seem like an obvious target in a firefight, especially if they're concentrated in one place. Putting the warp core there would increase its chances of it being eventually hit and destroyed, even if it was better-protected, simply because that section presents a more obvious target.
...I may be wrong of course. You could always put all your weapons in saucer section and engineering in the rollbar to isolate it from damage, but also limit the damage to main structure if engineering explodes.

Well, it's not like other designs like the Centaur or Miranda haven't already forged the path of "main engineering in the saucer section".
Well, the Akira has a kind-of engineering section slung below the saucer. It's more merged then in the Galaxy or earlier ships like the Constitution, but it can be seen: look at the thing the deflector is part of. More of a fat saucer or a chin, but that's the engineering bit.

THOU SHALT WORSHIP NO GODS ABOVE ENTERPRISE!
If we don't have enough Militarization Points by the start of the Dominion War, we auto-lose!
With all the weird crap that happened to the Enterprise, I doubt Apollo would be in the Top 10.
If we're counting the A, C, & D he might scrape into the top 30.

"Welp, let's see..."
[begins ticking off incidents on his fingers]
"I didn't die, there wasn't any literal witchcraft on the bridge, I didn't get absorbed by a mind control computer, I wasn't drugged to hell and back by polywater or mind control spores, I didn't get turned into a mineral salt cuboctahedron, and I wasn't left as the seniormost officer on the bridge after that little bastard I'm pretty sure must be the punk younger brother of that "Q" lady Michel keeps talking about kidnapped the whole command team. So it's tied for eighth place with that little mishap over Pyris VII where some alien pulled out a voodoo doll of the ship... Actually, no, thinking about it, that was weirder. At least with Apollo you could see what the problem was, and we eventually figured out how to shoot back. Okay, the giant green glowing hand was the ninth weirdest day of my life."
"Oh, I'm just talking about the stuff that happened to me personally, son."

I know Enterprise and Stargazer events are still pending. Just wanted to give it and Courageous some clear air and run the council session that is due.
