[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Well, to drag the topic screaming, crying and peeing back on topic, I had a talk with my shareholders today and we brainstormed forth just why my chute lid looks like an Excelsior saucer. [b]Points Of Reference:[/b] 1: Of all saucer designs in canon Star Trek, the Excelsior's is the only one that is pefectly circular, with a convex, tapering edge AND a totally flat underside. I saw that the lid had these properties (and more!). 2: The impulse engines of the Excelsior are the largest and widest on any Starfleet ship, in proportion to the saucer size. I could see the shapes in the lid immediately, which leads to the next phase: [b]The Hinges: A New Hope[/b] The hinges on my chute lid don't look exactly like either the Excelsior's impulse engines nor the 1701-B refit's, but takes cues from both of them; they are as wide as the refit's but as tall and deep as the Excelsior's. Those where the only things that caught my eye about the whole thing, just like I swore in the congressional hearing. [b]Controversy erupts - A handle?:[/b] Was there a handle on the thing? Through a near-herculean effort I managed to ignore the lid-handle in the process, [i][URL=http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/205/ST.jpg]not giving any thought or importance to it at all.[/URL][/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
