A very picture of Enterprise.
Shame this is not her during her Dominion War service which is what 'Insurrection' should have been all about imho!

This looks like it was from the movie. Nice job.

Thank you very much! I've made hommages to all canonical movies (not the Abrams crap). This is one of them.

If this is what people can do nowadays on their home computers, imagine if they remade the TNG movies.

"Wouldn't be suprised if history remembers this as the Riker maneuver."

This was an intriguing idea in "Insurrection" - the premise that the Briar Patch's conditions were hostile to starship engine systems.
Admiral Dougherty stated to Picard that they were still mapping out the region, but what Ru'afo and company obviously didn't tell him was that they had prior knowledge, and that their ships were adjusted to the area. So it all made sense when the Son'a ships caught up with the struggling Enterprise-E.

I still didn't understand why the Enterprise didn't launch a barrage with torps and phasers...

They were stuck with "Script Setting One", I think. All that weaponry and technology, but they don't think to use it until the Dramatically Appropriate Moment.

She's venting metreon gas from her nacelles...Is she using it to confuse the Son'a, or is she "injured"?

Well, this scene in the movie actually takes place before the Riker Manouver. The Enterprise is being chased through the Briar Patch by the Son'a ships, and she is not adapted to this hostile environment. It is expressed both by Admiral Doughtrey and Geordi. The Enterprise is struggling, her engines overloading. Geordi says they are "burning deuterium", which I interpret as something wrong with the impulse engines, as deuterium is fusion fuel and Trek impulse drives are fusion reactor based. Why does smoke come from the nacelle grids, I don't know, but I think it's probably separate from the burning deuterium problem. Warp nacelles run on plasma, which is hot, so I think the nacelles are actually burning through the dense matter/space clouds/nebula/whatever that is the Briar Patch.

Could be the manifolds venting off pressure or something.
Or they decided that having the necelles venting like that looked better than having something near the Impulse Engines venting.

The cover of the new Titan book has a rather nice representation of the ship, the only one I've liked so far.

Oh, you mean the one in the latest installment of ST: The Fall?

Yes, "The Poisoned Chalice". BTW Riker has been promoted to Rear Admiral, very appropriate.

And so fitting that Picard knew better! It was, after all, James T. "The Man" Kirk who told him never to let go of the Enterprise!

I always like the moments when Riker got to temporarily command the Enterprise. Oddly enough though I never had the motivation to pick up a Titan book.

I'Ve read the Titan parts, of course, of the Destiny trilogy. Well, let's just say, the man commands a flying zoo.

Yeah I read Destiny too. Really, that bad? Kind of glad I haven't gotten into Titan then...

Basically, the Titan is a propaganda ship with only a minority of the crew being Humans. Strength in diversity and shit. The writers came up with weird alien designs, including something like a cyborg ostrich, a velociraptor and, not kidding, Stitch from Lilo and Stitch!

I heard about the velociraptor, that's fucking dumb. I do like the cute half-Vulcan that joins the Enterprise. 10/10 would cuddle with
Yeah screw that, I think at that point I would just settle down on a retirement planet with a beautiful Orion wife and call it a day hahaha

"Huh-uh," Riker growled, "we're done running from these bastards."

Meanwhile, Deanna Troi swooned at the sight of such manlyness

This is my favorite part of the movie---what woman wouldn't swoon?

I actually liked Insurrection. And I kinda make use of the Riker Maneuver on Star Trek Online. ^^
Nice shot of the Enterprise about to start dishing it out again.
BTW... I used to have a similar, if not the same, model joystick they used for the Manual Steering Column.

I knew they made it out of a real joystick! F' yeah

OH wow... that is gorgeous! Only critique would be that single, solitary spotlight on the front seems... just a mote out of place?

Great work Dave

Looks awesome!!! You need to build the USS Aventine now, and the Titan, and do some ST Destiny images after your movie ones. Love your art man. Keep up the good. ^^
