Nah. And that was the Enterprise Refit study model that Maquarrie did.

Oh yeah, that's right.
Anyone want to try making it and giving it a "true-to-trek" feel - i.e. the hull plating/colour etc?

Just take a Star Destroyer, add nacelles and a saucer, and there you go.
As for origins of ship names, some people here just like to know obscure info like that. Me, I could care less. I just want to see the ship

Oh please, there�s a huge difference in using other peoples material and crediting them and asking permission as opposed to rpg:s stealing entire pages or hotlinking to my images which happens all the time. I�ve contacted at least 4 pages this month alone. So captain Boh, never done anything creative yourself since you can�t recognise the feeling when people use the material you�ve been sweating over for days or weeks without permission?

I've had work stolen from me. That doesn't mean I condem an entire group for the actions of some of its members.
Play by Email RPGs are what got me into 3d modeling and 3d modeling is what got me into forums. I'm not stealing other peoples images and I never have.
I've met quite a lot of great people through RPGs, people who have been great friends and helped me get through some really terrible times, people who have inspired me to better myself and do something with my life. I've also met some terrible people, but I don't let them sour me on those who aren't.
The fact of the matter is, only about 1 in 10 people involved in RPGs even have a say it what turns up on the internet, so most of the stealing is done by a very small part of their community. Most of the members probably don't even know the work on the sites is stolen. I didn't until I got into 3d.
So yes, some RPGers are most definately huge, image stealing dicks. But so are members of a ton of other groups.
