Yeah, I think the crab dock was designed especially for the Galaxy/Nebula classes.

Utopia Planitia Mars, birthplace of the USS EnterpriseΒ NCC-1701-D. Yeah, I said it; she's a Martian ship!

It blows my mind that I first saw this on an old episode of Star Trek: Voyager, and then I come straight to my room and find this for the first time ever on deviantART. And it's amazing.

Always good to see none-combat images of Trek. Many seem to forget the day to day life of Starfleet

Yeah, sometimes pure Starship porn is the best

Great work Dave, quite the scene you have there.
Utopia was never really seen much in the series, the best view was in that Voyager episode

Don't get me wrong. Your work is flawless. I was just never a fan of the 'Galaxy/Nebulae' drydock.
It seems fine for holding the old girl in place, but it provides little to no light, and it doesn't look to allow any outside work to be done. I know the show designers wanted to make something as unique as the ship herself, but the old dry dock design would have been fine for me.

I think the production crew merely wanted something unseen before.

That, I understand, but I just wish it appeared more serviceable, and not like an office building with tendrils.

Utopia Planatia... oh mama, how I hope one day to see humanity build something as grand as this...

This and even bigger. The Human adventure is only beginning!

It's the most beautiful sight I've ever seen since the Refit 1701 in drydock.

i love how the galaxy class needed a new gantry just for it. it was that large
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, Starfleet was obviously compensating for something

well remember the klingons and even the tholians had larger ships then them. so they had to make there new flagships bigger

Is this Enterprise or another Galaxy-class (such as USS Galaxy (NX/NCC-70637), the lead ship of the class?)
π: 0 β©: 2
The model is labelled Enterprise, but it could be any other Galaxy class starship...
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay, it's nice to know. Since the registry is shaded here, I assume that it's meant, in this case, to simply represent the class?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. The Excelsior class down there is also labelled USS Excelisor NCC-2000, however, I did not mean to represent Sulu's ship.

That one's far enough away from the putative camera that it doesn't matter...
