Yes she is a nice ship and a state of art if she was done in MS Paint.
I agree she should be a test bed for a Pre-Ambassador class warp drive
BTW Marauth You can't still say that Springfield and NO has the same Registry numbers because Michael Okuda and Paramount didn't say that. Springfield was not shown on screen at all Thease are your own pathetic theories. And I know what "cannon" and "canon" this was only misspelled word . And Marauth one last off-topic suggestion for you:
SoH 'Iv jay'! SoH Qu'vatlh
Take care
Could you please stop p**sing me off? I can tell it's unintentional but there's just sometihng about your flippant attitude towards my posts combined with that ROFL smiley that is incredibly annoying, at least I've taken you seriously and pointed out why I think your 'theory' is wrong. What I said about the registries is not my 'pathetic theory' but fact, they have registries from the same era and I don't need Okuda or Paramount to say it - we have evidence:
known registries of the New Orleans class (from the photos of the actual studio model and from backstage info or on-screen referrence):
USS Kyushu NCC-65491
USS Renegade NCC-63102
USS Rutledge NCC-57295USS Thomas Paine NCC-65530
known registries of the Springfield class (from the photos of the actual studio model):
USS Chekov NCC-57302
Going -just- by known registries the New Orleans is from the same era as the Springfield, if not part of a joint developement project. Structurally the two ships share the same saucer, same bridge, some sections of the same secondary hull very similar nacelle pylons, infact the only disparate components are the nacelles and the unidentified pods (three on the New Orleans and 1 - possibly two - on the Springfield). Infact there's no way to judge how advanced the Springfield's nacelles are - they look
different to those of the NO and Galaxy but that does not necessarily mean they are not as advanced or possibly even more advanced than those on the NO. You presume they are less advanced I don't know why, maybe because the real model ones were made from marker pens but in that case a K'T'inga has loads of Tiger Tank turrets mounted to the hull.
One last off topic comment to you:
Non capisco Klingonese, per favore, potreste parlare inglese, capite?
You should be able to work that using babel fish - or more likely from context.
Have fun and take care
