What STO uniforms were incorporated into PIC? I didn’t see any.
I would genuinely love a competition where they take top fan artists and put them under the constraints of current CGI artists working on Trek.
I would love that as well. There’s so much talent out there that’s going relatively unnoticed.
I doubt those figures, even assuming that many appied every years, SFA could not handle millions of cadets a class year. Thousands maybe
well, for the cgi, you probably have a team of people, One concept art person, then a person to do the actual model building, then another guy to put on textures, maybe lighting, rooms etc, then another guy (or girl) puting it in to the scene and animating it.. for the fan art side, you have 1 person doing it all.
One thing I'm wondering.. they all seemed to warp in.. ( Hate that pop in to place like star wars crap) and not "Quantum Slipstream in"

I think you’ve see things where budget was no object because it’s personal work, but not under the same time constraints. I know you haven’t seen a fan production with as much fx work as a tv show and definitely not 200+ unique space ships.
The biggest one-campus I know of, Penn State, already handles around 100k on the higher end, on the lower end, it's 40k.
SFA can absolutely be its own Campus City, a number in the 100k isn't implausible in the slightest. With Distance and Open-Education, I think Indian and Chinese schools have millions of students enrolled at one time, the Indira Gandhi has like 4 million per year.
And this is on a relatively undeveloped single-planet species world. The Federation SFA could be like a University with different branches (Andor, Vulcan, Tellar, et al), and so on and so forth.
Er, no. I’m saying I’ve seen things from professionally done works such as movies and TV series.
All of Starfleet Academy on one planet is a critical blow to Starfleet if anything happens to it. It must have off-world satellite campuses. Especially as I don’t see the other founding Federation members kowtowing to an imperial authority of Earth’s. Or, for that matter, other Federation humans.
So now we’re talking about comparisons to other professional productions, not amateur? This is all over the map. But, whatever.
Memory Alpha's article on Starfleet Academy specifically mentions several "satellite" Academy campuses on multiple worlds.
We even saw one of them onscreen: Relva VII, where Wesley made his application in TNG's "Coming Of Age".
Well, considering how centralized the Federation is on Earth I would say that SA is following that weakness to a tee.
Except, didn't Wesley miss an exam because he had to be on main campus?
Who said anything about amateur productions? I said that there are talented people who could do the jobs that CBS’s paid VFX people are doing, and perhaps even better than those people. You’re the one choosing to segue into other topics.
AFAIK, no.
The uniforms worn by Starfleet in 2399 are based on the uniforms developed for STO by Perpetual Entertainment, back in the late noughties.
This uniform was then adapted for Kurtzman's Countdown (2009) comic, and subsequently incorporated into the release version of STO by Cryptic Studios when they took over development.
Speaking of visual similarities, the USS Zheng He and its sister ship pleasantly remind me of STO's Avenger-class battlecruiser. The surface details differ but the superstructure appears nicely congruous.

I remember the STO uniforms being used in the first Countdown comic for Star Trek ‘09. But the uniforms used in PIC don’t look like them, unless there’s a uniform in that game I’m not aware of (or the game adapted to the show, and not vice versa.)
my impression is that SFA is almost entirely in the SF area.i still cannot see it having 100K students on campus, although there is no canonical number. Under peace time, why do you need more than a thousand or so new Ensigns every year?
From Memory Alpha: Wesley successfully completed his written exams for Starfleet Academy in 2366 but did not complete his oral exams that year when he failed to board the USS Bradbury for the journey to Earth.
I’m going to call you out on this and then announce my departure like an airport. I responded to you saying this:
So we were clearly talking about fan work vs CBS. Ok, see you!
I said fan work, not fan productions. And I’m not sure why you feel the need to be so huffy about the conversation.
