A fusion rocket based on discussion with Isaac Kuo on Mastadon.
The pulsed MTF thruster is mounted on a canfield joint, which provides both spingrav and propulsion.
The habitat module is buried inside a large propellant tank at the opposite end to maximize shielding

Another possibility for fusion drive appearance, based on this projectrho.com/public_html/...
The optically thin plasma is outshone by the incandescent tungsten of the engine nozzle
(still trying to figure out how long a visible plume would be)

Payload mass listed below if known
This is mostly for me, since I've been overestimating the mass of different designs (big footprint doesn't mean high mass, and vice versa)

Been watching Star Trek TOS and wanted to make a semi-realistic Enterprise.
The dish becomes a spingrav habitat, the nacelles become propellant tanks, and the transporter becomes laser-thermal shuttles (you can still "beam down/up")
