Cryptic,

Just finished painting the new Venture Class cruiser with my eyes....
Very nice; I must say that this is hands-down the best Cryptic starship design yet. It honors the legendary Galaxy class perfectly and yet stands tall with its own unique style. Beautiful.
....and this is coming from a TOS fanatic!

Very very very well done, and thank you.

May the Venture Class Live Long and Prosper
.....

Long Live the Terran Empire

I'm really loving my new Galaxy-X venture skin!

I am still trying to decide whether or not to keep the original Galaxy hull though. I love the shape of the Venture's but I prefer the Galaxy's deflector dish. Never the less, I am blown away at how much more lovely (to me) my ship is now.

Here are some high res pictures (warning, each one is over 1/2 a meg in size):

It's really nice looking. I only wish it was't attached to the entire P2W issue.

venture is top draw, well done.

I must say even from the designer like me, this is just soooooo incredibly awesome of a design.

just AWESOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fly my Gx everywhere now because of it! Now THAT is a 25th century looking ship.

looking good .. I especialy like the nacelle concelpt !

Nice little Eye of Sauron theme going there with the Aegis shield there

Yeah, I think that may just be the deciding factor over the Venture hull or Galaxy hull. Just switched to the Galaxy Hull, going to play with it like that for a bit, then switch again to see which I really like better. I guess what draws me about the Galaxy is that it is very iconic of the Enterprise-D. However, with the Aegis shield on, it looks totally different. So, I'm leaving towards the Venture Hull.

But yeah, the Eye of Sauron... *to the borg* I see you
