The deflector dish mentioned is a round model, set in the kind of v-profile of the front of the secondary hull. The 'neck' is pretty heavily altered,
shortened vertically, so that the navigational deflector's sightline clears the bottom of the saucer by just barely enough to squeeze a torpedo launcher in
between the two, then lengthened longitudinally, with new sections built up so that there's an almost straight line from the captain's yacht dock to
the torpedo turret to the top of the dish housing and a 'streamlined' faring built up along the back, including a new, larger, and better centered
primary impulse engine. Both of the secondary shuttlebays now open out of the side of the neck rather than the back.
The new nacelles are modeled after the Akira rather than the older Galaxy, and carried below and outboard and above and inboard of their original position,
after the 'Yamato class' design seen in Klingon Academy and Starfleet Command 1 and 2, with arcing panels connecting them and serving as mounting
points for two of the secondary hull's three phaser array sets as well as secondary impulse engines. The mentioned roll bar pod is, of course, mounted
between and above from the two 'upper' nacelles. The nacelle pylons mount about the same distance back from the bow as they used to, or, in other
words, from about the middle of the engineering hull rather than its extreme rear.
...I started out annoyed at people slamming the Galaxy for having an ugly design asthetic, but things kinda grew from there.

"Yes, and it was glorious."
