"By the way, I'm about as proud as can be of Michel, and the conversation we've been having reminds me of one of the reasons. He handled that "Q" lady like a champ. A real class act. When Jim Kirk had the same problem, we wound up getting a planet chucked at us. Three times."

Better then getting a paternity suit tossed at him a few months later.

The Akira could be halfway decent if the nacelles weren't backwards.

they don't look backwards to me, when compared to the constitution poster you pictured
They're pointing inwards toward the saucer instead of away.
Looking at the supplied pictures, they don't look backwards to me. They just have the connection to Engineering closer to the back than on the other designs.
Personal opinion.
EDIT:
Pointing in/out - I believe that is a matter of perspective. They should be parallel and pointing forward.

umm, you're saying they're backwards because they're pointing DOWN instead of UP? That's being really, really nitpicky to me.

References to Genesis seem ever more appropriate.
Kinky.
I'm sure Saavik would be able to handle that task, complete with appropriate quatities of sarcasm.

@OneirosTheWriter what does need to happen for the shield regeneration project to have any effect? Because it didn't seem to relate to any version of the design sheet we were assuming it would offer a global bonus right away, but it looks like that's not happening?

The monstrous Rebel Alliance has in typical cowardly fashion ambushed and destroyed the harmless Imperial Mining Station, home of the Planetary Mining Superlaser that would have ushered in a new wave of prosperity and order to a galaxy riven by the turmoils of the power hungry Mon Mothma.

This is surprisingly close to how it was described in the Imperial Museum in the EU.

so is this a random non-sequitur, or did we have to blow up a licori planet killer?

Man don't even joke about it. Them pulling a Planet Killer out of their butts is about the level of Mentat nonsense I'm becoming used to.

Hell I could see them repurposing a mining laser as a planet killer.
I actually assume the warp core on the Akira returns to the horizontal core style a la the NX class, probably just above that bulge @SynchronizedWritersBlock pointed out. If you accept the semi-canon that it has a through-saucer flight deck, the TNG-era up-down configuration doesn't make much sense, lest your fighter bay ALSO have the warp core running through it. Although I suppose it could be Defiant-style and fairly compact, but the Akira seems too big for that.
