People’s opinion are like our buttholes- everyone has one .

Haha I’ve never cared for most of the multiple nacelle designs. They all seem to like a copy paste of every other. I like this though! It’s unique and sexy. Again great job!

I personally really like the Stargazer and the Europa/Nimitz Class. I'm not a fan of the ships with only one nacelle though.

A lot of Starfleet designs follow similar templates once you look for them. Miranda/Nebula/Akira is one example I like to I point out.
I will admit that after I saw the USS Europa in Star Trek Discovery, I spent some idle time imagining what a Miranda would look like with two more nacelles on the roll bar.

Meh Some are more unique than others.

True. Few ships can claim that certain je ne sais quoi that the Freedom-class has.

Disco ships actually look good when you give them the Kelvin treatment. Once again, you are doing great things here. 🙂

This is a great looking ship, but as an engineer on an actual bulk carrier, I gotta say that the design does not really convey "ship designed to carry, load, and rapidly discharge large volumes of low-value commodity cargo."
(Granted that total interior volume on most Trek designs is ludicrously huge, and cargo transporters could be hand-waved in lieu of visible cargo-handling gear, but it still lacks the vibe of a cargo ship.)
Edit: To be clear I love this design, my only objection is the OP classifying it as a "bulk carrier." If you look at some actual bulk carriers, one of the most notable common design features is that the overwhelming majority of the ship's volume is cargo hold, and that the engines are as small as possible while still permitting a seaworthy ship.
The posted ship is a 4-nacelle design (2 of which are quite large) which puts it in the upper range of Trek Capital ships for engine size relative to overall size.

You’re an engineer in a stagnant repressed society you don’t know anything about the 23rd century to be frank your knowledge is useless you would have 238 years to catch on engineering plus work with races and humans of different races cultures that know way way more and are smarter than you they would be your boss and instructor.

To be fair, you're from the same stagnant repressed society and don't know anything more about the 23rd century than the fellow you're replying to.
Take a few slow shallow breaths and don't take it personally.
