In my mod, Klingon Academy II: Empire at War, I have several little Easter Eggs, in-jokes etc, one of which is that one of the randomly chosen names for an Oberth Class Escort is the USS Burgess NCC-489, name for my fiancees surname. She said she’d like it if I altered the 3d models registry to show it (each ship class has a single 3d model so they all have the same registry and name unfortunately).
I was going to make this purely as a paper exercise but, I realised I have the current Oberth ingame as the USS Grissom NCC-638, which was destroyed in 2283 over the Genesis Planet. (well before the events of my mod). I also went with a different registry for it anyway, to fit in with a series of registries i’d drawn up for the Oberth, so the Grissom became NCC-438 anyway.
So, therefore I decided to make the USS Burgess NCC-489 the official new 3d model for the Oberth Class in KA2 :)
