Demorecord + Editing Tutorials Star Trek Online System List

This is from the game Star Trek Online, taken using demorecord, then composited and edited using Photoshop. My process of editing can be found in the tutorial series I've made here !
In other words, I didn't model this, I basically just made a picture with in-game assets.

This is the Inquiry class, like the one seen in the final episode of Star Trek: Picard (the USS Zheng He, captained by Riker!). This is also the only legitimate Inquiry class that I will recognize in STO. It's Gorgonops_SFF's Sovereign kitbash using the Regent hull, saucer, and pylons, the Imperial nacelles, and the Galaxy hull material.

The promo box is a scam. If you spent money to buy it, real or EC, great job on encouraging Cryptic's marketing department to continue to break the old promo box model and stick highly desirable Federation ships in promo boxes. The Inquiry class is canonically a mass-produced ship, we saw a fleet of them in Picard, so why the fuck would they be ultra-exclusive and not in the C-Store for anyone to purchase? This marketing disaster has led me to refuse to even use demorecord costume-swapping to take screenshots of the promo ship, when this kitbash is one hell of a lot cheaper and more true-to-Starfleet. In terms of the ship layout, just... get the Gagarin, it's the same damn ship.

The USS Don't Gamble for a Copypasta is here to fulfill your FOMO. Use your imagination. Stop buying R&D promo boxes.
