Quote:About fragging time that this ship has arrived...I fell in love with it the first time i saw it in the series......Good work!Semper Fi, Carry On!
Quote:Pontificating on this further, think of what the shape of the warp coils inside the wedge-shaped Jem-Hadar style engines must look like: small coils at front and back, big ones in the middle, assuming of course that they are using a coil arrangement at all. Such an arrangement may be able to give superior warp acceleration in a short amount of time which is useful for combat, but not a high top warp speed because for that you need constant and longer acceleration force, which means longer cyclindrical nacelles.
Quote:Ya Desty,I think I posted a link to both those ships sometime last summer. I'll do that again after I check them out to make sure the zips are alright.

That's a very believable justification for that design within the fictional context of the Star trek universe Atra, and I don't question it. I was merely criticizing the lack of creativity(as I see it) behind the scenes in 'real life' on Star Trek's current incarnation. I don't claim to know what goes on inside B&B's little heads(I only wish I DID know), but I can easily see a thought process that looks something like this: "Let's make the new romulan ship look Jem'Hadar, because the Jem'Hadar were cool and people liked them, so obviously they'll like this too! Bling!" So even if the end result looks cool in its own way, I disapprove of TPTB's misguided approach to Star trek nowadays, which is unfortunately quite all-encompassing.

LOL I know B&B have to make the show look cool, I actually don't have problems with that. In fact, I'm among the few who are glad that they are doing that. Frankly, I think the "Enterprise" world would look very boring with all the Kling ships having D-7 nacelles, and the Rom ships having BOP nacelles. So far we've seen things we have not expected, and that in my opinion makes the show better than what it would have been if all we got was what we expected.....cuz that's a walk down medicority lane.
