(Blueprint) Federation Starfleet Galaxy Class (5.0 Project) U.S.S. Amber Benson, NCC-108977

Alright, general information about this thing.
The U.S.S. AMBER BENSON, NCC-108977 is a Galaxy Class starship of the 5th iteration out of my shipyards. Since both versions of the 2nd didn't pan out and the 4th didn't even leave the early stages i reckon the labelling doesn't matter all that much but it's easier for me to keep track of what i'm working on. So. Yeah.
If you've arrived here randomly: well, hi. If not you might know of the AMANDA TAPPING, NCC-100431-C. The Benson is, basically, a highly, HIGHLY modified Tapping. As in: i took the Tapping and slowly overhauled every single part of the ship. I doubt there's more than 25 percent of the original blocks left, and that's me being generous.
The Galaxy 5.0 Project had two main goals:
1.) Improve upon the Galaxy 3.1 by pouring every bit of acquired knowledge into her construction in order to achieve a 1:1 scale Galaxy Class starship that will NOT, in fact, kill PCs
2.) Improve upon the Galaxy 3.1's general design to more closely resemble the canonical standard Galaxy Class space frame.

While most outward changes are minute in nature the immediately obvious improvement would be (or at least i hope so) the Secondary Hull which has been built almost entirely from the ground up (although the bottom reused many building techniques and the occasional copypasted section where appropriate).
Due to the tight budget on block numbers, physical shapes and whatever the hell Keen is putting in to limit us these days the AMBER BENSON comes with only the most barebone-basic interior existing of not much more than a corridor connecting the operational locations stuffed inside the ship (like Gyroscope Bays and the interal thrusters) along with three shuttle bays and a tiny yet cute Bridge. (I DO hope to fit in a little bar but we'll see.)

While I'm quite nervous about the inevitable engine limits i do enjoy the performance so far - and yes, she flies. Slowly and not exactly agile, but the fact that she CAN move around is very reliefing for me personally.


Update! 29th December of 2018

Aaaand we're done!
The ship in it's semi-final version has been uploaded to the Workshop and i am in the process of preparing a World-Upload.

Much to my own personal dismay the performance has gone down *slightly*. We are currently sitting at 183,272 blocks, a PCU-count of 454,964 and scraping at the Physical Shapes-limit with 62,793 out of 65,536. So.... she's heavy. On the game. Interestingly enough the SimSpeed in resting position only goes down to about 0.80 when the Engineer isn't sitting in a seat; once that's a thing it goes streight back up to 1.0, go figure. Maybe that'll get fixed, we'll see.
