1.) Four nacelles (redundant twin setup) connected to a hull that is
attached to a saucer.  The saucer is not "raised" as much as in the Big-E.
The purpose is for power and redundancy - if one nacelle is damaged, you
can use the other "twin".  I would entertain a "rotating" saucer section
that would turn on the secondary hull's end in case diagonal Warp coils
got damaged. 
 
Warp crusing speed:  Warp 9.0 
Max. Warp:  9.97+ for 96 hours. (allowing for breakthoughs in TransWarp)
 
The battleship of the Federation has to get to those borders in a hurry,
and may have to chase the Borg around.  It should also be able to make/use
the Borg's TransWarp subspace conduits in "Descent". 
 
2.) TWO antimatter/matter reactors - one for each twin nacelle, since I've
had people tell me I would need quadlithium cells to make the plasma
stream split four ways.  Make the antimatter containment safe and all
that.  Maybe substitute one of the AM/M reactors for a Romulan-style
Forced Quantum Singularity Drive (FQSD) of equal power.  The AM/M is ol'
reliable, but the FQSD would be there in case something disrupted the AM/M
reactions. 
 
A faster, more reliable way of ejecting the AM/M Warp core in case of
emergency.  Too many ST:TNG episodes have the Big-E blowing up because of
this design flaw. 
 
The backup fusion reactors would be located both in the primary and
secondary hulls (the Big-E-D had four? six?).  Triple redunant systems in
case they try to act up, too.  The altogether power compared to the
Enterprise-D would be 300%, because of the twin AM/M reactors and
additional fusion reactors. 
 
3.) Changes to the saucer section: (keeping the 'swept' or as I call it
"Great Cobra Hood in the Sky" look according to Warp physics)
 
No saucer seperation unless you plan to self-destruct.  The added 'main
cannon' of "All Good Things.." cancels the seperation.  No Captain's
Yacht. More powerful impulse engines, possibly vaned for more
maneuverability. No stupid bar sticking on the nose of the saucer section
(Ten-Forward). 
 
A bridge located NOT at the top of the saucer section, but in the forward
middle of the saucer.  It would look a little better than the
Enterprise-D's battle bridge.  Put an auxiliary bridge in the second hull,
just in case. The computer core would be in the center of the saucer, with
medical in the rear center.  MUCH safer in a battle.

4.) The secondary hull would be an actual structure, and not chopped in
half like the other Federation starships.  Here you would have the AM/M
reactors, additional fusion reactors, additional weapon systems, and
storage space.  The primary deflector dish would be similar to the
Enterprise-D's, but strengthened to allow for safe, frequent use of the
particle-beam weapon in "BoBW". 
 
5.) THREE completely independent shield systems (see DREADNAUGHT! for
ideas) - if one shield system goes down, turn on #2 or #3.  Add metaphasic
shielding for close-stellar encounters.  Add cooling, more ways to store
the power, etc. Improve the superstructure metal used, so the starship can
better withstand solar photosphere temperatures and atmospheric
aerobraking without injuring the ship. 
 
6.) Twice as many photon torpedoes, phaser banks, and other weapon
systems. Change the phasers so they have selectable phaser/disruptor
percentages-- that would permit the E to destroy ship hulls OR shields
(disruptors are better at taking down shields according to someone else).
This ship is the battlewagon of the Federation, after all.  It should have
a better-than-average chance of defeating a Borg cube, laugh at a threat
of less than three Romulan ships, or four Cardassian vessels.  It should
also have non-energy weapons, like railguns, for small targets and so that
the enemy cannot read a buildup in power.  Add the "main cannon" seen in
"All Good Things...".  It was an EXCELLENT weapon to have! 
 
7.) This is a military vessel, no dependents allowed.  The holodeck
provides recreational/physical training.  The dreadnaught would have an
absolute minimum skeleton crew of 260, with a normal compliment of 700,
with room for 300-500 more people.  A computer core, medical staff, and
science staff equal to a Galaxy-class.  This isn't a rescue vessel, or a
diplomatic host, this is a battleship. All that extra space would be
brigs, triple-redundant backup systems, room for additional equipment,
etc.  It's called a "hardship"  tour in the Army.  Typical rotation tour
would be one year, with the option to volunteer for additional years of
service at 110% pay. 
 
8.) The phase-cloaking device - Let's get real here, folks.  Treaty or no
treaty, the phase-cloak is just too good to pass up for warfare purposes.
And the Federation in "All Good Things..." DID have one! 
 
9.) About the shuttlebays...have two "main" shuttlebays, with a variety of
shuttlecraft.  Also, perhaps in the secondary hull, have one main bay for
Maquis-class starship fighters (I thought they were great in ST:DS9 "The
Maquis" and ST:TNG "Preemptive Strike").  Have two to six fighter-craft. 
 
10.) Add two "suicide" or "scorched-earth tactic" Genesis torpedos or
modidfied Nemesis torpedos in the main torp bay, just in case.  Have a
good R&D staff to work on field-testing new weapon systems for when the
Borg come back.
 
Make six such craft and the they would be worthy of the name dreadnaught
(that's "dread nought" in the old English, folks, or "don't worry").
 
Put a Rear Admiral (O-7) in charge of each Dreadnaught, because of the
firepower . (Just like Riker in "All Good Things...")
