ooooohhh. I used to think it was "China has big generals"

Very nice!

2560x1440 :D

Personally I think the Constitution would be a perfectly suitable Envoy. It played such in ST VI :D

That UI is tremendous.

I'm so glad you've decided to not have a character on the left, like everyone else.

This looks amazing and I'm looking forward to the mod.

An interesting theory.

I think the real reason is a bit more boring however. The "Ent-B" Lakota refit was made for Generations, which was around Season 3 of DS9. So for the entirety of TNG, the regular Excelsior model was used in the show, and if they ever showed up in DS9, until the Lakota episode, it would have been standard Excelsior too.

I'm pretty sure once the Lakota showed up in DS9 it was that model used going forward, I'll have to rewatch the fleet engagements again. If it was only for that episode then it was probably because they used the superior studio model from Generations because in that episode there was a lot of close ups of the Lakota. And then in other episodes, the Excelsiors were seen from farther away, often in the background so they would have used the old smaller model from TNG.

I always thought of the refit model as the true excelsior, and just ignored on screen evidence. The NX 2000 Excelsior was the prototype, and Enterprise B was the production model with the improvements.

Looks more Will Farrell than Ron Perlman
