A gorgeous new model/texture for my favorite Federation ship, both in game and in canon! But why did you guys choose to have the Nacelles lit up? I recall reading that the only time in the shows/movies that the nacelles ever lit up was in Voyager's season 3 episode "Flashback" and even then it was allegedly a mistake by the effects team; but again though, I may have mis-remembered that, especially since I was unable to find that information again...
Regardless, it's still of wonderful new model! I look forward to seeing it in what I assume will be 1.3?

They were always lit up during the DS9 era.

Oh yes, you're right! In that case, what I was thinking of must have been that "Flashback" is the only time the nacelles on the actual USS Excelsior are lit up. My mistake.

just another voyager continuity glitch ;D

... side note, I believe the way of the warrior excelsior's (they only appear at the end) look like regular excelsiors but have the enterprise-b / lakota nacelle caps on the front end of they're grills

There might be different variants, different ships might have lit nacelles and other might not..
