The Devs have updated the design (and registry number) of the USS Equinox's Waverider shuttle. The original appearance was taken from DeviantArtist Falke2009. See here (DeviantArt link): https://www.deviantart.com/falke2009/art/WaveRider---Exterior-861532057
I like both designs and would love to see an ortho of the new one. Do the Devs share any game art somewhere?
I love the Aeroshuttle function of Intrepid-class variants. The Nova class has a similar, canonical captain's yacht - the Waverider. It's just been added to Star Trek: Voyager: Across the Unknown as a non-combat shuttle for trade missions.
If there's ever a Legendary Nova (Supernova class?), it'd be amazing to reuse the Aeroshuttle Console mechanic on all Nova class variants. New class styles could be Defiant-class pathfinder (from Star Trek: Encyclopedia), its four-nacelled courier variant, and the Galen-class medical frigate from Kirsten Beyer's VOY novels.
Side note, I understand the Intrepid-classes and Janeway class cannot be kitbashed but I really miss having my Aeroshuttle when flying the Janeway class. I wish we could slap it on.

Apologies for posting again but I snuck onto the Courtyard of Windows! Ever seen the window cleaning machine in the corner up close? Now you have. Also, the chair in my room looks kinda sus.
Heart is still racing. Better not get caught!

I’m at the hotel in the Backrooms right now! It does feel liminal. It’s like being at a movie set - it looks exactly like in the various YouTube videos. Even for real it looks “fake”, like standing in front of a stage background.
