Hello Peter,

Thank you for your kind words.

Yes, we did do a lot with CGI this year. CGI is a good solution for the
wild FLEET(!) battle shots that have been written into the show. I could
not have done those shows with motion control with the time and money
available.

The ILM ships have been through several CG companies and through several
program translations. The surface details have been somewhat corrupted.
We cleaned up the Akira ship for this show. In time the others will be
repaired. As for Reliant (Miranda class) ships...I really love the
design and I like to use them.

I would beat up more Galaxy Class ships but the producers are not so
fond of my destructive desires. So I destroy Excelsiors. (I love my
job!)
