This was an MSD I created almost 7 years ago, originally for Star Trek Online.
The first task I did when creating this MSD was to look at the existing MSD used in the show and to identify any mistakes, it became apparent that the shape of the hull was not 100% accurate to the actual shape of the ship, this is most obvious around the Deflector area, so the first task involved plotting out the general shape of the ship using renders of the CGI ship used in the show (post season 4).
Since the ship evolved in the show there were several additions I wanted to add:-
- [Deck 4] - Add Brig and Away team briefing room
- [Deck 8] - Add Astrometrics
- [Deck 8] - Add Cargo Bay 2 with Borg Alcoves
- [Deck 9] - Add the Aeroshuttle
- [Deck 10] - Increase the Shuttlebay size to better accommodate the Delta flyer and more accurately represent what we saw in the show.
- [Deck 11] - Add the Airponics bay
- Restructure the Navigational Deflector to better represent how it actually sits into the ship.
- Add additional Deflector equipment for the slipstream drive
- Modify the warp nacelles to the correct size and restyle warp coils to signify upgrades.
Many of these updates required reshuffling some of the existing rooms on the MSD, also a few rooms such as Sickbay required alterations to better represent the sets that were seen on the show.
Years later I revisited the MSD and colour corrected it to more accurately represent what was seen in the show. I created the other Bridge panels as well, as per a client request to build a Voyager Bridge set.
