It was originally. I modified the registry, among other things.

The Ambassador class is very pretty. ^^ I always loved how round it was, it lends the ship a certain softness and elegance compared to it's peers (quite the opposite of the stabbity-looking Sovereign or Intrepid classes).

The lighting here with the atmospheric detail is really beautiful, though, and the way the shading and reflections are on the ship is very well done.

Thank you very much. I can't take credit for the ship though, only for the composition (and how it's depicted).
