Oh. I never saw many voyager episodes. No wonder i'd never seen it.

Quick tip mate, try using splines, instead of these super smoothed saucers you do you could get away with far fewr polys using a spline cage rather than just lathing and smoothing.

I usually use splines, but I was lazy. And nothing is turbosmoothed, it's just poly guzzler parts...

1 million polys? Wow. Looks nice, Dave.

Is it just me, or does Starfleet seem to have a saucer fetish?

Thank you!

The real-world answer for the saucer is that Jeffries wanted something to be "space-worthy" and yet streamlined for the Enterprise. The in-universe answer for the Jupiter Station to have saucers is that it is constructed of "leftover" saucers, probably from the Ambassador era.
