Over the years, it's grown on me.. a little, but still wasn't something I really wanted to fly.
Even with that in mind.. the Andromeda really is a nice looking ship. I'm honestly impressed with the design, I like the new deflector and the ship seems to have a very detailed model. The last 2 ship releases (Command ships, Iconic Ships) have really been a noticeable leap forward in ship modeling and design. Both the Command Ships and the Iconic Ships are extremely well done.
These guys just might make me actually like the Galaxy.
With the nacelles being *much* lower than the saucer as well as short and fat, it always came across as... well, a backwards toilet to be honest with the saucer being the water tank.
It is completely the opposite of sleek or impressive IMO.
But I'm glad people who like it got a good model of it for their end-game. May they enjoy it for a at least a couple years to come.
I wondered if it is possible to mix the new fleet explorer with that venture skin. I do not own the venture yet, but on other ship models different skins are sometimes availabe as preview. There is no venture preview on the fleet t6 explorer.
The Nebula-class would be slightly more problematic since a number of its components; the secondary hull for example, aren't exactly the same as the Galaxy's. Even how the nacelles are mounted onto the pylons is different enough, with the Nebula having larger wedge shaped "brackets" where the pylons slot onto the nacelles. Ideally I'd still prefer the studio model secondary hull for the Nebula, but it's doubtful that'll happen anytime soon, if at all.
It still wouldn't be easier if they just stuck to the Nebula CGI kitbash version either as the secondary hull is still a different shape.

It looks gorgeous and it's finally the ship I grew up with while watching TNG. I was shocked by the magnitude of the aesthetical change once I logged in after the patch and saw how my ship looks. It looks so much better than the old model that it actually feels like a second brand new skin for the Exploration Cruiser together with the Andromeda. It looks fresh and new.
Thomas did an amazing job with both of them, but the biggest part of my praise and gratitude goes to the work done on the iconic Galaxy Class ship model, thank you sincerely for finally bringing the ship from the show to our game!
That's what one of my friends said upon seeing my ship up close in game. I told him he can't hump it. :P
This, the Galaxy now looks awesome, you can tell a lot of time and effort went into it, the level of detail is fantastic.
The Galaxy X's spinal phaser lance was the first thing I checked; it is STILL crooked.
While I cannot possibly understate what an amazing job they did with the Galaxy (finally, a Lt.Com Tac AND a proper skin, after 5 years!), I cannot help but look at the crooked lance on my Gal-X and wonder why that one bit, at least, could not have been updated.
I have to say, though, the updated Negh'Var looks amazing, too. I will most certainly be picking one up!
If or when the Galaxy-X Tier 6 version comes, I am sure it will also see a new model. But probably not before.
Yeah ... , once I realized that the bundle would cost me 1 Mil. Dil and even 1 ship 1/2 a Mil. , I too felt that right now may not be the best time for their purchase .
... that's what happens when yer space poor ... , and have a kicka$$ Gal-X ...
While I'm here, waiting for a T6 Defiant.
first one who says "Phantom" will get run over by a McLaren F1 LM going at 300km/h, repeatedly.
Surprising how neglected the entire Escort selection has been at T6 so far.
A handful of Science Ships, a TON of Cruisers, and what? 1 Escort?
With the limitations on Cannons and the lack of available ships, it sure feels like they're trying to turn people away from playing Escorts/Raptors which is a shame.
I'm not a huge fan of the Defiant, but a T6 Defiant would probably go a long way toward brining back the Escort. A lot of players would really enjoy that.
the galaxy x has been borked for nearly two years now

for example: you cant use differen pylons on the andromeda, because you get a really weird looking tail left in the aft-middle section.
id really like to change pylons and still have matching parts.
cause i think the new pylons completely "break" with the galaxy looks, whos nacelles are always in one line with the impulse engines. the andromeda looks way to broad in the aft section, because the nacelles are just to far away from each other.
but i cant choose other pylons, because i get this weird "remain-tail" from either the hull andor the neck of the andromeda.
making either a more narrow andromeda pylon variant, or making a hull-neck variant thats just cut off right were the galaxy/venture pylons end, would be a great addition.
i also dont get why they dont add more "simple customization" options like having nacelles angled 90° variants or a top-down pylon variant, narrower/wider pylons etc and such. it would add a lot of cutomization without much work.
overall the models are really nice, only this broad pylon variant is odd, cause it breaks sleek galaxy aft section design ;-)

the lower variant is the altered one.
(its just a small change but it makes a lot of difference to me at least ;-) )
