The NX-91001 a very amateur Photoshop job.

Yep. Everyone's original thoughts are confirmed:

Upon closer inspection, the NX-91001 really is a TRIBBLE-up Sovereign-class.

Here is a full picture of the NX-91001. There's nothing too noticeable to point out at this distance.

Now zoom in. The angle of the tier below the bridge doesn't line up with the saucer. The identical window placement and difference in resolution between the different tiers of the upper saucer section makes it very evident that it's a bunch of stacked Sovereign-class components. Cryptic's attempt at masking this is also laughable in how obvious the brushwork is. If you still don't see the more glaring flaws, here's the rundown:

Cryptic, if you're reading this, just make a 3-D model of the thing. This is just laughable, and it reinforces the view that a lot of "new" ship designs in Star Trek: Online are nothing more than bad Photoshop jobs.

    The Ships of the Line section of the site. Doesn't exactly speak to the originality of the design if it's a slapped-together amalgam of previous ship components.

    Strange. Isn't there anymore. Even so, it was in the top-right of the site not that long ago until they took it down, and it's a widely-used publicity image throughout the internet.

    The top-right picture was the Excalibur for a very long time.

    And amateur as it is, it worked well enough so that you're one of the few who noticed it before it was taken down. Sounds like it did its job as a placeholder well enough.

    I think, I saw the second gunman behind his bushes over at Elm Street on one of those zoom-ins...

    Wait, you needed to zoom in to see the bad photochop!?

    I was thinking the same thing especially in light of:
    There's nothing too noticeable to point out at this distance.

    If you have to zoom in until you nose is scraping up the paint on the hull to see that they painted over something, methinks you are a might too close and wasting time about things of little consequence.

    It was removed fairly early in open beta, or perhaps near the end of closed beta.

    Arguably if that was 'long ago' or not, but if it took you a month to see it for an obvious photoshop, kudos :).

    I forget who said it, but it was about the DS9 episode where they go back in time to the tribble episode of TOS. One of the people mentioned going over the new model of the enterprise they had to build in the episode with a magnifying glass, because trekies would too, and they wanted to avoid the aggravation.

    Personally, i feel "big whoop", some people have too much time on their hands and need to just accept the minor differences. Or "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes, And other science facts, Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax."

    ;)

    I think that's only concept art. Probably a rushed job too. Do we know if the actual ingame ship has those mistakes?

    Who cares? It's a piece of concept art that still looks sweet. Plus it's not like the model in game has the same (tiny) mistakes.

    1) That says Enterprise? Doesn't look like it to me. Also, if it did it is in the wrong place on the saucer; should curve more.
    2) Paint job.
    3&4)ooks like it does to me
    5) Yep, looks like the same bridege part.

    Something I've noticed about ships in Star Trek in general; often they seem to be the same ships with different parts, or ships that are melded together. Look at the Romulan warbirds; mirror image of the same hull joined together. A lot of Star fleet ships seem to be the same ship but with the hull reversed.

    Isn't this what star trek has been doing all along?

    I mean, the nebula was just a galaxy class kitbash for the longest time, the saladin was a constitution kitbash, and the original miranda was another constitution kitbash.
