Galaxy Class Project

Fan Project dedicated to Star Trek's Galaxy Class Starship.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

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?

@DrPCooper1 Only what is seen on screen is there. I don’t know why people have an issue with this fact.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

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.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

@Highlander0666 There has been a move to canonise some fan interpretations sadly.

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.

[I Love Spaceships @SpaceshipAddict]

More comparison shots. It’s like glimpsing an alternate reality where they used the D for the movies. Such a treat! #jtvfx

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

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’.

@wrexweed He’s dealing with PTSD, a serious matter.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

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…

@STvSW @Blue_Dog2025 Thank you, Legal ramifications for a case against me would threaten my career. But both books are near ready for publishing.

Project News:

> I can’t publish the revised tech & operations manual

Nor

> The Galaxy Class: A New History

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.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

@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.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

@STvSW Fat rims and Lifeboats an issue

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

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.

Good to see some of the ideas and visions I have spoken about publicly for so long come into ‘real’.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

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.

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

@STvSW 😉

[Galaxy Class Project @galaxyclassproj]

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.

[JoeRalat @JoeRalat]

Master Replicas announces a new book from #StarTrekPicard art director Liz Kloczkowski focused on the reconstruction of the Enterprise-D bridge, with hundreds of photos, concept art pieces, and background details.

Coming in May 2026.

This creator continues to make the point that physical models with VFX is still the sweet point.
