I actually liked the St(r)eamrunner better than the Akira. The Norway's a bit boring and the Saber was the ugliest Starfleet vessel until the Vengeance came along (which was replaced by Discovery and the 32nd century weird shapes).

Funny you say that. Nobody seems quite sure what the Norway's deflector area looks like, but the version I found has a big pit and the big round deflector right under the bridge.

As I rebuilt that area in my deweirdifying I ended up turning the ship upside down, and lost heart: it's a regular neckless Connie-style ship with funny deflector placement and a shorn saucer top.

The Steamrunner class will be making a return in PIC season 2 (as an alternate universe Federation ship at least.) They are using the Eaglemoss CGI model for it, since the original model no longer exists. So if the trend is to use EM CGI models in future Trek shows, then we may end up seeing ships like the Norway that were lost after the Berman era ended. As much as I don’t like the FC ships, it makes sense to use the existing EM assets for future shows. Pretty much every Trek ship EM has made has an accompanying CGI model for it.

And they're more often than not incorrect.

Yes, but now that Trek is using Eaglemoss models on-screen, they’ve gone from being generally not-always-correct to 100% screen-accurate. [Big Grin]

I thought the EM Steamrunner’s deflector module looked blockier than the original. Maybe it’s just me…

Give Eaglemoss *some* credit… they’re more accurate than many of the Fact Files diagrams. [Wink]
