Looks like that station from the Vanguard novels.

Ehh..that shot looks *really* CG. I mean, of course it *is* CG, but I mean it looks like a test render, almost. I've seen more realistic work done with desktop freeware. I've seen other Remastered episodes and they're generally quite good; I don't know why that shot looks so crappy.

That *is* Masao's Vanguard/J-Class station! I wonder if he knows they re-used it for this?

Now, here's the kicker. the mouth pieces on TM are bitching about everything except one, fanboy's dream: Ship designs other than Connies. It would be WONDERFUL if it wasn't 4 Connies on screen...

Probably asked permission. There ARE a couple noticable differences, but on the whole it's Masao's Vanguard alright.

Added panels and it looks smaller is about all that I noticed.

Also the station appears to have a deflector dish at the bottom.

I think you'll find that's a long range sensor array.

There does indeed. But I see no reason to object to that, considering that dishes have been around in non-forward-pointing positions ever since Franz Joseph's Federation class.

Yeah but the station in TOS has its dish positioned at an angle.

I just heard about his about an hour ago via an email from Bernd. I wasn't asked, since I no longer own the design. Marco Palmieri, the editor I worked with at Simon and Schuster, said this has been in the works for a few months but he was sworn to secrecy. They took a few liberties, but I can't complain.

(My design had a much larger dish at the bottom. This version is sort of like the dish-on-a-stick Franz Joseph used for his Saladin.)

I'm a bit confused; is that a screencap from the upcoming ep or just a concept render?

Supposedly a screencap. I don't get why people think the quality is so bad.

Masao, would you care to tell us more about Simon and Schuster?

I bought one video game they developed. It was a DS-9 game. Sucked big time. Only played it for like 10 minutes or so. Complete waste of time.

After that I pretty much was soured by the whole company. I didn't think they cared or had the capability to present a quality product.

I am familiar with their audio books. I guess I lumped those in a different category since they were recordings of other people's work and not brand new products.

I don't want to know anything confidential. I am just wondering what your general thoughts are and if you have any other insights since you've been more involved with them than a lot of others.
