[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Hmm... In what circumstances would Paramount reuse the Constellation model? Trek is now rapidly moving towards mostly CGI effects. The old model might be a liability - it wouldn't get converted into CGI unless there was a plot requirement for it specifically. Probably most of the Starfleet ships from now on will be those created for ST:FC (Akira, Steamrunner, Saber, perhaps Norway, Defiant, Sovereign), those mapped into CGI for late DS9 (Excelsior, Miranda), and completely new designs introduced either for story needs (Nova) or for filler material. I also doubt Paramount will do much kitbashing in the future in the style of Centaur or Curry or Yeager any more, not with the CGI option available for potentially cheaper and better-looking 'bashes. And there's little in the way of footage on the Constellations or other such designs that could be used - most of it is low-quality static shots from primitive early TNG episodes. Only the Excelsiors have good all-around stock footage from TNG. All that said, I think we can safely assume that there will be no more Constellations, no matter what the Encyclopedia says or doesn't dare say. Timo Salonemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
