In hopes that I am finally going to secure a STTNG, I have begun looking at the alternate translites advertised on eBay. Much as I love the game, I find that STTNG's translite leaves a lot be desired. Personally, I'd much rather see pictures of the ships than of the cast.

Does anyone know how these actually look in place, that is, with STTNG's default backbox illumination? I would guess that that is precisely where many substitute translites fall down: the artwork just doesn't correlate with the illumination. Is that the case with STTNG?

I bought the other one, with just the ships. Personally, I think it is a great improvement over the original, but to each his or her own.

Here's a pic of the other alt. translite on my machine:

I know, but it does not bother me in the slightest.
