I was reading up on the "Q Drive" that would have converted solar wind into energy to expel propellant. They mentioned using another Plasma Magnet for moving outward from the sun, and that steering with one "Q Drive" was a challenge, so I immediately thought of a better layout: plasma magnet in the front center, Q drive spines to the side. If you ignore the fact that the nacelle struts should each be about 10km long, this starts looking kind of familiar...
