Galaxy class model: hull offset

It looks like someone screwed up a Z axis value on the galaxy class ship model and it's derivatives. The hull is set too high in relation to the other ship components. The result is that the hull seems to poke through the saucer section on top and seems to be unattached to the large pylon and warp nacelles on the bottom rear.
This shouldn't be hard to fix, just have to change a few numbers really. It's really distracting to anyone playing a galaxy class, and it's easily one of the most iconic ships amongst the star trek fandom. We'd greatly appreciate it if this issue could be addressed fairly soon. Thank you

Just take a look at the Engineering section here:

sleek and smoth
compared to the Ingame Model:

Clumsy, distorted and of the Map...
just my 0,02$
meh, all the ships look like that in this game, and I'm pretty sure that that in game shot is out of date, the saucer doesn't look THAT bad anymore. I just want them to fix this blasted alignment issue. It would take them 30 seconds-all they have to do is change a few numbers
That said: the ship artwork in general for this game is of amazingly low quality. I've never seen a licensed Star Trek game where the ships just looked so... malformed before. I 'm starting to think that they just hired a bunch of day laborers to create their art assets for them. I've seen fan made mods that do a MUCH MUCH better job of capturing iconic Trek ships like the Galaxy class. My guess is that this is do to the way in which players can mix and match ship components. Perhaps this system forces them to compromise the overall look of familiar ship designs?
In any case, all I want is for this alignment issue to be fixed
it's not just on my system, numerous people have complained of the this issue
there's not much more to it, the component is only displaced by a few notches along the z axis, they just need to move it
A dev has already commented on this, and said it will be fixed.
ah, so it has
for the "bad look" of the ships try messing around with the advanced graphic settings... most of the time is just low res textures...
