To be clear, I'm talking about ships in space.

Starlight Mini on certain space shots looks pretty good.

If the aim was 2023, the merger talk started then, it's very likely that the 2024 freeze, lines up with this.
The Home video department got triaged for a few months.
If 2028 is the new target, it might show up then, but they may already have the remaster in the bag.
But wait there is more.

2022 should have had a lone Oscar category for worst television series ever made, and it should have went to "Starhunter Redux".
"As mentioned in the main portion of the review, there was a TON of changes to the original mastre for the show. The series was original shot using 16mm film (which is a very gritty source), framed in 4x3, and the CGI was finsihed on tape. Well, they went back to the original 16mm elements, reframed it for 16x9 like they originally wanted, and redid over 4,000 CGI shots to get it looking better. The end result is actually quite solid, with some give and take. The series will never look glossy and shiny due to the 16mm source (VERY gritty), but the series is miles (and I mean miles) better than the DVDs. There’s some smearing, green and purple artifacting in low light scenarios, and general grim look of the show, but it’s fairly well detailed and close ups can be quite revealing. Simply put, it’s an old low budget show that got a 4K remaster. It will never be something super amazing, but they did a good job getting it to look this good."

Even Canada has more pride in something terrible, than Paramount has in anything good.
That's right, Starhunter Redux/2300, an abomination from the depths of the scifi channel got all new CG, and a rescan within the last 5 years, and a bluray release via Shout Factory!.
For when you have a late night craving for a Television Program that rivals any Neil Breen production.
...another reason I refuse to accept DS9 and Voyager are too expensive.
This exists, and was remastered before DS9 and Voyager, with a rescan of it's original camera element.
DS9 and Voyager remain in SD Hell, but Starhunter Redux?
Starhunter Redux got a 4k remaster.

Honestly, anyone saying TNG Blu rays looks worse than their DVD counterparts need to have their eyes checked.
I wouldn't buy a copy, but I'd watch it if its on Paramount+
Your TV or streaming device will likely upscale it.
"Except the pretty ones."
It still makes me wish the TNG DVD screencaps on TrekCore had stayed, for direct comparison against the blu-ray releases. The blu-rays win by quite a margin, especially the moment you resize a DVD screencap equivalent to blu-ray's 1440x1080 for 4:3 material*. One can artificially refine edges and augment color/shadow detail, which does improve but still doesn't come close to a raw film scan. But if DS9 and VOY remain SD (480i), it is what it is. Lots of fan projects on YouTube are hyping up the distant runner-up while engaging in what amounts to a nominal amount of self-delusion over perceived quality versus the comparative real thing, for which I could go into multiple digressions in support of or against...
* Granted, 'twas DS9's third season that finally standardized on the potential of widescreen (16:9) but matted it down to 4:3 (ala "Babylon 5", which did this from season one onward.)
I got my first blu ray player and I couldn't tell much of a difference. Turned out I actually needed to have my eyes checked.
