I appreciate the critisizm... and while I take your point to the stability
of the engines (there are a couple points where I'd like them to be
"beefier"), there is a structural reason for it. The fore engines are for
forward motion only, and for turning along a plane by firing one side only.
The rear of the ship has 6 engines (the two main engines and the 4 engines
that are not rigidly attached) The two main engines are at the very rear of
the ship and supply the greatest thrust. They are not as noticable as
engines because they are embedded almost fully into the back of the ship.
The 4 engines you refer to are almost exclusively used for manouvering the
ship, they are not very powerful, and they have to be mounted off the ship
to increase their effectiveness.
I'm not trying to change your mind or invalidate your critisizm, just
explaining my reasoning for they way they are :)

Having them as your background? that's very flattering, thank you!
cheers!
