Can anyone replicate the look of the Patrol escort in the shipyard?

Ok, I have been trying for some time to emulate the look of the new Patrol Escort that is on display in the ESD Shipyard vista.

I own both the c-store and fleet variant so have all possible (I think) customisation options available.

I cannot find the saucer and nacelle pylons as displayed on the model.

I was under the impression that the models on display are meant to represent the ships as they come out of the box....how come this is different?

or, am I missing something something really obvious?

    I'm not sure what you mean, my Patrol Escort looks exactly the same as the one in the shipyard.
    Are you sure you have the Tempest skin?

    The one in the spacedock should be using complete Tempest parts and the 2409 material (I forget what number that is).

    ive tried modifying both ships (cstore and fleet)

    The nacelles on the one on display are much further forward, and the saucer is slimmer without the front notches present on some of the skinnable options

    The pylons look different too

    Here is a picture so you can see what I mean

    Top image, ship on display in ESD

    Bottom Image, a full, unaltered "tempest" skin


    Regardless of options I try, I cant get my ship to look like the top one

    Uhm.......*scratches head*......what??
    They're the same, except for lighting. I'm seriously not seing whatever you're seing. :confused: I think the size/perception and/or lighting are playing games on your eyes.

    Yeah, that or you need to select different Paint Scheme colors. The build looks the same to my eyes.

    Cryptic did that old glamour photo trick of putting a smidge of Vaseline on the lens to soften the edges. Lol!

    Also maybe they are using window option #3 the yellowish ones. At least that's how it looks on my cheesey monitor.

    Edit to add:

    Maybe try the old looking material, what is it? #3??. It's the only one I know that has a sort of warm burnished feel I get from the shipyard photo

    Basic design is the same, the environmental lighting is different. The nacelles and deflector are a little different, this will change depending on the "skin" color that you use.

    I'm not online so I cannot tell you the right name for the "skin" but there are 7 or 8 different numbers to give the hull (and nacelles and deflector) a different sahde/color.

    The one floating in the shipyard just looks like Type 6 Tempest, looks like they lightened the black pattern on the saucer slightly to a gray, and turned off the pattern on the center hull. Other than that it's just lighting.

    It's just the lighting and the angle are off. The ships are exactly the same.

    You're wrong, there are no lights. They're all in your head.

    I was thinking that it looked as if you have a MACO shield on, and need to disable the looks on it.

    Other than lighting and some difference in the black areas, they look the same. The placement of the necelles are even the same, just top one appears further forwared due to the perspective, the lower image is rotated more to starboard the the top one and the perspective is above looking lightly down on yours rather than being almost directly sidelong in the top one.

    It is exactly the same ship and model, it is your perception and also the difference in shading and coloring scheme, with the big factor being lighting.

    The key thing is the angle of the shipyard vessel, which is meant to solely be a prop.
