Yellowstone Runabout Fan-made Remaster (Star Trek Online)

*DISCLAIMER* :
I DO NOT WORK FOR OR AM ASSOCIATED WITH CRYPTIC STUDIOS / DECA, THIS IS PURELY A FAN MADE CONCEPT AND SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL CONTENT FOR STAR TREK: ONLINE

The Yellowstone Runabout was always a gorgeous original design from Star Trek: Online's Launch era, but as 15 years passed and the game receiving numerous and exciting visual updates, it unfortunately had not aged well along with other much older small craft.
Seeing that there isn't a demand for remastering the old small craft models in the game, I decided to breath new life into the Yellowstone Runabout myself!

I took a similar approach to the remaster much like Thomas Marrone did for the Odyssey Class Star Cruiser when the Enterprise F was made Canon for Star Trek Picard S3, but also focus my attention to making it realistically practical as a Runabout making the whole craft uniform in its hull with the proportions made much more sleeker with the Odyssey aesthetic, achieving a cohesive and solid looking overall but staying true and faithful to what I adore about the original model. And more importantly addressing my personal peeve of accessibility by adding a door. The Nacelles in particular I took special artistic license in by basing the Bussard Ramscoops off the recently remastered Exeter Class which definitely lends itself well to matching the original model's shaping.

I'm quite proud how well this turned out as my first 'real' attempt at a Star Trek related spaceship.
