I'd have gone more of The Orville approach and made a game loosely inspired by Star Trek or something to that extent and made a ship that looks somewhat like the USS Enterprise which I've seen done in at least one commercial game, I can't recall the name of it though.

Oh, what sad times are these when IP/copyright ruffians can 'cease and desist' at will to old fans. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design video games are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.

Bridge Crew is basically just a really pretty, licensed version of Artemis (https://store.steampowered.com/app/247350/Artemis_Spaceship_...)

they're sort of mail-blasted out to anything even remotely infringing; you put the onus on the recipient to prove otherwise. for fans and small shops without the resources to make their case (which may well be legitimate), its bullying :(

The "survey ship" in the Galactic Civilizations series looks pretty much exactly like the USS Enterprise.
