Interesting point about the dual quantum torpedo launchers, something that I've felt has been missing from the Defiant ever since they put it in the game. It got its quad cannons, so why are the launchers still conspicuously absent?

yes, looks good on my monitor.. Though the missing detail I'd have thought a little more relevant to the crew is their quarters..
They still have the impulse engines somehow at the back end of the ship, when you can see them pretty clearly on the exterior just inboard and aft of the blue glowing warp nacelle parts. I think a top-down (or "dorsal plan") view would make more sense for the Defiant-class (if you had to choose just one graphic), since a whole bunch of the systems overlap each other when viewed from the side.

The main exhausts of the impulse engines are shielded at the back. All the cross sections and deck plans (which were visable on the show) have it like this. I like to think that the red glows at the side are additional exhausts for excess heat from the impulse reactors, but the main impulse exhausts are shielded.

That said, it looks good.
The Defiant is one of my favorite starships, and the flagship for my RP adventures.
I may need to pull it out when ViL hits Holodeck.
