I’m old school. Yes, we have 3DSMax, Blender, AutoCAD, Maya, Adobe & more––but before that process––the feel of a pencil, the scribble of a note, the ponder of: does that work? How do I to get from A to B? what happens if? What does history tell us about naval ship design?
Sad that some are still promulgating a Galaxy class being at the Battle of Wolf 359.
It was always fan fiction manipulating a script point that was rejected.
For many every time they saw the 'E' they replaced it in there head with the 'D'. JTVFX has modelled what so many have been saying for so long: the destruction of the ENTD was one of the worst decisions in the franchise and TNG was loosing its way through the big screen.
To refresh the Galaxy class, something already in the class in-service pathway anyway, the battle over Verdian III means ENT D gets a refit prior to First Contact.
No need for a new ship for the ‘big screen’.

It would have been far more impactful if Picard refused to blow up ENTD. The audience would have felt it much more. Who cares about a ship you’ve seen for barely a minute screen time versus one of seven seasons meeting her nemesis again…

Legal counsel have had a response & it’s negative.
The finished revised documents & internal 3D model will have to languish on my computer.
I tried. I really did.
@STvSW It isn’t just to do with money, although I’ve managed this far better than stage 9, the reality is the owners decide the fate of the franchise which impacts all fan outputs. Lawyers etc.
Seems I’m out of a job and project then.
Well done JTVFX.
Tho for the love of god can we still not get the Galaxy model right? Fat rims and overdone Aztec; and the four foot model needs to die.

One day we can but hope I can share/publish:
>‘Galaxy Class: A New History’
>’Galaxy Class Technical and Operations Manual including internal blueprints’.
When the time is right, and the Star Trek fan base is respected as it should be.
I’ll keep fighting and working.

He makes the point, as I have, ENTD should never have been destroyed or if was, in a far better manner appropriate to her lineage and the broader story of Star Trek. LLAP 🖖🏻
OTD 25 May 2368
A firmware update to the fire control system in the saucer and stardrive computer controls results in additional modes for torpedo launch systems across all Galaxy Class. This includes rapid fire, variable spread and simultaneous tube, fore and aft combinations.
I think it was a close as they were going to get with the time and budget they had. Flaws were really for the nit pickers who truly care but end of the day options were limited for the hole the franchise was in.
More issues with the Galaxy class 3D assets.
