Ya that was the idea i had that made this work. those trekkie ships are pretty asymmetrical and what are you going to do with the opposite side of the main body to balance the flight forces.

Swung, and tested. Seems to fly fine without any additional weights. You could think of that saucer as an extra ~15g weight on the nose. Nosecone total weight is 28g.
Total weight of rocket loaded for flight, C6 : 90g, Empty 65g

What’s mass with motor ready to fly?
First flight.
Oddroc standards are very low so good first flight. It went up, came down with zero grievous bodily injuries! Equilize the drag by adding more to the shuttle fin (warp nacelles?) or reconfigure to body with defiector dish. Whatever looks good because being really really good looking is key.
As you feel the Dark Side forces flowing through the ship it might need a C6 0 with a small amount of BP on top. I know mixing Science Fiction franchises is dangerous, but we must do what we can to fly the rockets we love.

It’s obviously your rocket, but might be interesting to try it without the forward tube spokes

It flew! Nice!!!
What's the all-up CG on this ship? I somehow picture the topview CP to be slightly below the center of the bare tube between the saucer rear & the nacelle front. That would suggest that the CG to be closer to the top of the body tube?
Congrats again! Go goonies!!!

On the pad that looks like the Pizza cutter from hell.
I think it just needs a nickel or two glued in the nose.

A few nanoliters of Corbomite usually does it for me. Don’t overdo it or you could lose the use of the launch field
Dilithium also works, but unless you can spare 30 minutes for ignition, you risk a major (and I mean BIG) CATO or reverse time lapse.

When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
Nose weight solves 9 out of 10 issues. For that other 1... you may have to revert to witchcraft.
Or even worse than necromancy...a mindsim.

Mindsim vs Witchcraft.... Some would argue they are the same thing
My mindsim says make those 3d printed inserts in the tube fins removable for flight....
they are. they're just friction fit into the tube.
