DJ i feel the small changes you have made to the 2400 version are just fine, they give her a new look without departing from what made her what is was in the first place.

2 suggestions:

- Century Class torpedo tube additions
- Century Class escape pods

Other than that, it looks great :D

My thoughts EXACTLY!!

Good to know I'm not the only person thinking so. :3

I'll agree with mayhemuk on this, any more additions would begin to look as silly as the Galaxy-X was to the Galaxy IMO.

The ship looks great and definitely change the escape pods.  I look forward to these galaxy class ships.

Actually, changing the escape pods doesn't make sense at all, at least from a construction perspective.  The main changes so far have all been individual systems that could easily be swapped out (ie, new nacelles, new deflector), or slight changes to the overall design.  Changing the escape pod design would require reworking the entire escape pod system, not to mention adapting every pod docking port to fit a different shaped pod.  It'd be a major reconstruction of every pod area at best.

Unless there's some massive improvement to the new pods design, I don't think there's any reason to change the arrangement of them.  Maybe retexture them to look updated, but don't change the shape/placement.

The deflector doesn't do the 2400 model any justice (maybe give it an enhanced Dom. War version),
but other than that it looks superb.

I really like what you have done to the Nacelles........ the Deflector though......... it's just not agreeing with me lol, but that's just me, I really don't have a suggestion of what could be done to make it look right.

Actually, if memory serves me the Century Class escape pods are very closely the same shape as the square pods of the Galaxy Class, just that the texturing is different. That's basically all that is needed is to update the texturing to match the Century Class pods.

That and adding additional Century Class style torpedo tubes :P

I'd love to see a sleeker galaxy class. For example, keep the same saucer shape, but make the deflector dish/section around the deflection dish fused into the main saucer section like Voyager/the Nebula Class, and make it three warp engines instead of 2, then it would look cool. Like a super-sleek Galaxy-X

I find myself agreeing with most of the others here, love the nacelles, but that deflector seems odd here.  Century escape pods and torpedo tubes would be really nice, and maybe....just maybe modify the captains yacht area with a torpedo turret. 

It's pretty awesome though, the detail still impresses me.

I think adding the Century Class torpedo tubes will make it look less like the graceful beauty that the Galaxy Class already is, she has great lines and more tubes will break it up to much.

I do also think that the Deflector should be different, a modified version of the one it already has, maybe base it off of the Nedula Class one.

very nice work!

I also think that Century Class escape pods would look cool on these, and I like the Century Class Deflector on this too,
but please don't add more torpedo tubes to this. I think the Galaxy Class have enough fire power, it don't need aditional
torpedo tubes.

I like the deflector it's very 21st century in term of modern and gives the Galaxy a much less fussy frontal look in my view, I'd like you to keep it if only for a variant DJ.

The Enterprise and the Venture are 95% done.  The only thing left to do are the tactical displays.  However, I've been having problems with them, and have sent the mod off to Elminster, who's agreed to see if he can work through the difficulties.

Hopefully the issues get sorted out quickly, and I'll be able to release this asap.
