Description
The concept Probert Ambassador has always fascinated me, it's quite similar to Pre-Enterprise-D sketches. They were further refined for the upcoming 'Yesterdays Enterprise' episode though the model was never built due to time and money constraints. Instead we got the other Ambassador which is still an elegant and wonderfully functional ship.Proberts concept bridged the gap much better though it leaned much more to the Galaxy class than the Excelsior. It's a very modern design even by 21st century standards in terms of other sci-fi ships out there. My only gripe with it is the aft section which looks quite awkward but it's a fine design nonetheless.
The Modeler Wiley Coyote did her justice and did a fine job on both model and textures.
Just something nice and clean in a bold and almost heavenly light.

I dunno, I kinda like the Ambassador class that showed up in the TV series.
This one isn't bad don't get me wrong but the other one is good too.

I just read it again, 'why' is a little English thing still means thank you we just add 'why' on it for some reason.

Nicely done. That's a great looking design. They could have used this as an Ambassador refit. Nice lighting as well. It provides the epicness to show of the ship!

Thanks, a refit would have been a good idea showing up in first contact as part of the fleet. Just as a little something extra.

I'm torn, I liked the on screen version in a way that it was a return to the old starfleet adage of exploration and peace in the post Khitomer Federation. It had a clear influence in the Constitution class with all the beef of the Galaxy.
