Benthan Assault Cruiser orientation

I'm a bit surprised that this hasn't been posted in the bug section yet, but the BAC's orientation is backwards. The cruiser is literally flying backwards. The blue globe should be at the rear of the ship.

    There have been several threads on it. There has been heated discussion on it. I'll be happy if they don't TRIBBLE it up by changing it.

    Yes, I've seen those threads. Hence why I said:

    It's not a gameplay bug, if it's a bug at all...it's an art matter. And it was brought up in the "Starships: Model errors and feedback, 2410 edition" art thread.

    And again, imho, that it appeared for a few seconds flying backward in VOY - although it may make it canon, doesn't make it right. It wouldn't be the only canon mistake of that sort. So that it is flying the correct direction in STO, which violates those few seconds of canon...is personally okay with me. It's looks outright stupid flying the other way.

    I guess that's a differing subjective opinion between us. To me, it's not an art issue at all. The art itself is fine... it's just orientated wrong, which to me would involve the gameplay (ie: flying of the ship).

    BTW, I think it looks outright stupid flying the way it does now. Another differing opinion.

    Every single set with visuals would have to be changed.
    Engine/Warp Trails would have to be changed.
    Any visual FX that are orientated would have to be changed.
    The UI image would have to changed.

    If the orientation were wrong, there are all sorts of art issues that come to into play.

    It's not a simple case of just saying it should fly the other way.

    That's even if it were determined that it should fly the other way.
