Yeah i've allways noticed and thought how it shouldn't be too difficult to shift them higher in the dock. I was thinking the same thing about seeing them in a state of assembly when I took a look at the nebula in dock earlier.

i noticed that too.. always bugged me.. hey i wouldnt mind seeing some McKinley Station variants out there just for some variety

i think the saucer edge is a bit thicker than the galaxy class, just to add

While you're adding flashing lights, can you please add them to KDF ships as well. K't'inga, Vor'Cha and Negh'Var are all seen to have flashing beacon lights in the films and shows. Presumably the rest of the Klingon ships would have them as well. These are just the flashing white lights, they don't have the red/green nav lights.

Any word on when the Defiant refit will be getting sorted?

The ventral torpedo nacelle needs a little love, still: The in game model has always lacked the three ventral torpedo tubes located on the dorsal torpedo nacelle. It's hard to find a clear picture of it from the series or films; but as the art changed remarkably little from concept to implementation, I feel it can be used as a reference. Here is the forward view (art) of the torpedo nacelle: http://www.starshipdatalink.net/art/images/da-6.jpg and here is a shot from the series or films. The ventral tubes are a bit hard to see, but they are definitely there: http://kyushu.rpgresource.net/images...-sail-tops.jpg

Also, the struts supporting the torpedo nacelle do not share the same angle as the nacelle pylons. (I may be mis-remembering whether or not they share the same angle in the game, but I believe they do.) The pylons should have a shallower angle than the struts supporting the torpedo nacelle: http://www.starshipdatalink.net/art/images/da-7.jpg

Also, of the four forward tubes on the torpedo nacelle, only two have the little launcher texture/lights.

http://drexfiles.files.wordpress.com...kira_front.jpg - The forward ventral launchers are shadowed, but visible.

http://drexfiles.files.wordpress.com...akira_back.jpg - Aft torpedo launchers should be facing port-aft and starboard-aft, not aft.

Added, pictures would be great if you can provide them.

I just ran into a sovvy today and it looks awesome, only thing that bothers me is that the engineering hull is still shaped like a Y instead of U when looking at it head on. once that is fixed.. it will be perfect

If anyone can look over the first page and find issues that have been fixed but are still there, please let me know so I can make some space.

On the Tier 2 Excalibur it doesn't have a shuttle bay. At least in the configuration I have that uses the Excalibur secondary hull (and I don't think in its original config either?) but the tail end of the hull looks alot like the Excelcior so seems like it could be done in the same way. No biggie just something I noticed that seemed like it would be easy to fit on.
