Thomas and Donny, thank you for this. I got a Vengeance as a gift, but it just looks wrong to have it in regular Starfleet gray and blue and not have the name and registry number on the hull.

    Really appreciate the addition of options, especially for the traditional Starfleet decals!

    Now we need some more ship parts (like a closed saucer for example). I know i want too much as always, lol.

    The original skin was starting to look really muddy. Glad its getting a newer skin.

    I don't understand to be honest. How could the previous texture start to look ugly? Did it change somehow?

    Personally i found it quite fine and i didn't notice anything especially bad about it either.
    Don't get me wrong i really appreciate the dedication and amount of work they put into the new one.
    On the other hand, i wish they had added some more alternative ship parts for it instead.

    To me a good looking overall shape and pleasing proportions are much more important than textures you can't see anyways, unless you zoom in very close. But that's just me.

    I agree, it's great they go back and overhaul some of the older ships. However, for me the Vengeance can't be saved anyway xD The whole ship design is hilariously out of place for me, even in the Kelvin Timeline. I never was a big fan of just supersizing ships to make them "more powerful".

    Check out Zefilms YouTube vid on the update. New skin looks amazing.

    No more of a comparison to newer ships VFX. Like breaking out your old game console from 15 yrs ago. It was AWESOME back then, but compared to current tech, its awful.

    There are more than a few other ships ingame which I'd hope Cryptic gives an update like this to as well.

    It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was internal plans to update all the older ships and Cryptic is just waiting for a good slot in their timetable to do so.

    Oops! Where are my manners? Gone and forgotten. Just got done watching ZEFilms' vid showing off new skin for the Vengeance class. What a fine job! From both ZEFilms and Cryptic! Thanks, guys for the update to one of my favorite ships. Been flying it with the Section 31 vanity skin and now I'll not have to anymore.

    Yeah the Zefilms was good, but he seemed to think the black pin-striping was supposed to work with the dark skin. (I assume it's there for the light gray skins.) And never gave it a try on the lighter skins. Guess I'll have to give it a try when it goes live or if I get on Tribble before that.

    Looks cool, except the name is a bunch of numbers:
