Star Trek (2009) Constitution Class Pack
This is a joint project between Jetfreak and thunderfoot006 which upgrades the previously-released Beginner/Amateur mod of the Star Trek (2009) Constitution class starship. To call it an upgrade is an understatement, as this is more like a wholly new take on the Ryan Church design.
It's definitely worth a download, but be advised: any comments not related to the mod, but to the ship/movie, will be edited or deleted. 
Star Trek (2009) Constitution Pack
A joint project by Jetfreak and Thunderfoot
//***********************************************
INTRODUCTION:
Hey, Y'all! Thunderfoot here. Over on the Forums, I announced what I was calling, my 'little side project'. It was an udate and improving of the looks of Beginner/Amateur's ST:XI Connie Class. I liked the ship but thought she could look better with a little effort on my part. So I started cutting and pasting textures from WileyCoyote's BC version onto Beginner's texturs to make everything match up and improve her looks.
I contacted Jetfreak to ask for some assitance since I'd never tried to redo textures before. He got interested and began redoing the textures as well.
Well, you all know just what a superb artist he is and the final textures set he came up with are much better than the set I did. So I decided to concentrate on some alternate registries instead. I also decided to try and make this a full blown mod, instead of just a retexture. I did a build button, a wireframe and a few other things to make the ship function fully ingame. I've also included an update to the Editor Menus, so any of these can be added as map units.
-------
Jet here, we are proud to present this ship pack no doubt. Featuring the equally hated and loved Constitution design from the new film, we had a lot of fun revamping this model and the results are equally satisfying. Using tons of reference photos around the web, we did our best trying to match what was seen on the film. Seeing as we are both big fans and are very supportive of STXI, you all saw this coming.
Oh, and a side note to the haters. You will find that we have little tolerance for such petty issues regarding the design. Keep them to yourself please. We have had enough already. Take heed of Kirk's words: "Young minds, fresh ideas. BE TOLERANT."
Putting that aside, I hope you peeps enjoy. :)

Comments
My opinion is that the movie design is ugly. Your right, about my opinion is outnumbered as far as all those star trek fans out there thinking it looks great. I guess that's why I'm so vocal about it. I was looking forward to seeing the original design on the big screen. I feel that J.J. Abrams ripped us all off with the new designs and the erasure of all the already written time line. That's why I said the ship is ugly. I know I shared my thoughts the wrong way, but I hope that this clarifies it.
Why should I release the Improved Single Player Campaign, version 2.0 here? It is all done and complete and packaged ready to go. I also have all of the BSG Passenger Liners Coxxon did in a pack with a fully functional Jump Drive which works very well. I also have about fifteen or twenty maps packed up and ready for public release. But if our version of this ship gets commented on the way it was, where is the incentive for releasing anything else I have done? Not trying to be difficult here or blackmail anyone into pretending to like my stuff at all. But it is very discouraging to get the opposite response to the one I expected. And just ike everyone else, eventually I will stop trying because the result is not worth the effort.
There are mods released here which I do not like. I fail to see the need to publicly dump all over someone's work because of this. They made something during their free time and then shared it with the rest of us. They are entitled to my public respect for these facts alone. That I dislike the mod, or the subject matter, or the person at this point is irrelevant. .
1. I do not see any SOD files in the download. Are these referred to as something else?
2. Where are these ships built from now?
Thanks!

As to where can the ships be built from, you can add this line to any starbase or shipyard
buildItemXX = "fConsti"
Look for the entries in the ODF which are similar to this one. Add this line below them. Change the "XX" to the next number in sequence. If the last entry is buildItem7, then the XX for this one will be 8. You cannot build more than 14 ships from one starbase or shipyard.
When I saw this release, however, negative thoughts went away completely. The ship's majesticness (don't know if that's a real word or not) went just under, if not on par with, the original Connie. Ingame, she fits right alongside some of the other awesome Federation ship models I have.
This work is REALLY great, you two. I hope this release is the beginning of a beautiful partnership between you two in the future.
