To me, it looks like a predescessor to the Galaxy-class rather than being a prototype of, as the U.S.S. Galaxy herself is just like her sister ships, although when I saw the two views of the untextured render of this model some years ago (and sketched a drawing back then of what I thought she looked like), I just thought it was some mass-producable Galaxy-class prototype, some new class designed to be easier or more resource-friendly. I pondered what happened to this model, and am finally pleased to see her again, and she is beautiful. I think you did a wonderful job on her, and hope upon her release that she has hardpoints ready for SFC2.
