The Galaxy Dreadnought Reboot (and that final touch)

Whether it was because they listened to us, or because they wanted to do it for their own piece of mind, the Devs recently rebooted the Galaxy Class, and presented us with a Fleet Galaxy Dreadnought.
That's all very well, but you'd think they'd have done a complete job on the project, wouldn't you? I swear I remember seeing this mentioned before, though it would appear it's something that has been missed upon the reboot. Couldn't you have taken some time to properly align the spinal lance so that it's central to the rest of this ship?
And the next question, why aren't we able to use the Monarch skin with the Dreadnought?
It's the small things like this that irritate me the most; you go about redoing something, only to still not fix those small problems.

I think this is your area buddy :P
(I really had not noticed it to be honest - it's not exactly game breaking, as it's on the underside and for the most part, you look down on your ship. However, now I've seen it... it will bug me :mad:)
Taco is an environment artist, he doesn't do ships. JamJamz is who you need, or another ship artist.
Honestly I've been having so much fun flying the thing I don't even notice the model errors. Barely ever use the main lance either, mostly keep it separated.

Weapon hardpoints are all over the place, shots fired clip through the hull...
Get the Forums Enhancement Extension!
Pretty much Cryptic in a nutshell.
How long has it been like this? 3 years? 4? I forget. All I know is that it's been too long for something as small and minor as this to go unnoticed by the developers. And the fact that SOMEONE took the time to make those promotional images for the bundle and NOT NOTICE this blatant error, clear as day...is just absolutely baffling.
It's stuff like this that's really preventing this game from being far better than what it is now. Cryptic does really awesome things for this game, and then just drop the ball so damn hard on many other things that just makes us think, "What were they thinking?" *epic double facepalm*
The people who actually make the ships were busy with Undine ship upgrade, being as powers and stuff are a different department.
So what you're saying is - Cryptic's "code engineers" were responsible for this, as the ship-modelling/node-placing people have not been involved since the dev leak of the Galaxy X saucer separation around two years ago?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Well unless you can time travel, it seems kind of fruitless to walk down that path of debate. Moving forward they know about it, and will fix it at some point. Certainly seems better than the situation with some other bugs that they don't know about, can't replicate, and aren't scheduling to fix.
that was me asking that question (my fed science officer is named T'Laal), and I actually meant it as a joke and was actually asking when they would REALLY fix the problems with the gal-R and gal-X, but it flew right over his head.
Ok, my mistake.
Though, I've not seen JamJam around for a while, probably why I forgot about him
To be honest, with the chaos happening during that meet and greet, I can see how that would happen.

The lance is off center on the Galaxy R too?
Then what are the "real problems" with the Galaxy R that Smirk ignored?
Wonder when they will do galaxy reboot
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
I like it as it is - even more now the 3 team powers do not overlap anymore.
I'm not saying it is perfect, but I found a couple of nice configs for it. I do feel like the odd man out at times when it comes to the Gal-R
The current plan is for is for it to coincide with the release of "The crazy misadventures of captain Neelix" show to help draw up attention for all things trek.
Did you notice that the Odyssey In the Mirror Event has the Star Fleet Symbol on its pylons :eek:
I do not have the Odyssey so you'll have to forgive me if I'm wrong but it's not considered a Dreadnought class.
the Venture (Galaxy Refit) is missing windows on the bottom right rear of the saucer this also shows up when the skin is used on the Dreadnought.
True but both lances actually cover up the numbers (prefix) of the ship which seems odd to me. You'd think Starfleet would have raised the numbers as to not look so sloppy.
I am missing windows on the bottom left hand side of the saucer but like to think that section is battle damaged and is decompressed.
(Side Note: Wish we could put skins with battle damage on our ships)
