Really awesome work DJ.

And I'm not just talking about the ships... but all the nuances that you're trying to make sure are "bug free".

Needless to say, the SNS Galaxies are great models/textures etc. but they were a real pain to properly set up.

It's refreshing to see a modder who for all intents and purposes "checks everything" assuring a stable, hassle-free install... that to me is a seasoned veteran in BC modding.

thanks guys.

And now, for a very special announcement...

The Galaxy Class pack will also include a Special Edition (tm :)) ST:TNG Season 1 USS Enterprise D.

The Season 1 version includes many changes to mimic the original model of the ship including:

-bright glows reminiscent of the early episodes.
-brighter blue nacelle grills
-modified deflector with more orange and light blue, as well as the circular details near the center of the dish and some shape differences.
-higher contrast lifeboat hatches
-significantly thinner edges, such as around the saucer and drive section rims, as well as nacelle pylons.
-arboretum lights turned off.
-modified hardpoint
-altered impulse engines: color and shape.

I think the impulses are a tad too orange. Get a bit more red in there. Other than that, wow!
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

I gotta object, sorry, I was watching the first ep the other day (It's in the Q collection), and aside from the set lighting, I'd say it looks spot on.

...Probably not, but the number I get(379.6m) could be considered ?original intent,? a term that I think I will be using from now on, and ?canon? be damned.

Teeny Weeny bit more red? Actually, I think it's the wrong kind of orange to me. This orange looks kinda beige to me.

to be honest, they have to be red indeed.
I uploaded a pic from trekcore from 1.1 encounter at farpoint:


/edit: in other episodes it seems to be the right color... :shock: :x

The only time I remember the impulses actually being orange was in ST: Generations. Never knew why.

It's actually red in the movie, but as you can see ILM jazzed it up a little when they modified the six foot long model.

the impulse appears orange in ST generations in the scene with the optical of the Enterprise when Picard states in his log "Dr Crushed informed me that Data's emotion chip is fused....." [/nerdiness]  :)

now, seriously... it's some three seconds against 8 years, so I say go for red.

That's because it was a reuse of footage from the original model from Season One.   :wink:

Looking beautiful DJ :)
