[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [i]It's simple, Jeff. Would an F-22 Raptor look out of place in the RAF of 1914?[/i] You're comparing apples and oranges. We're talking about starship designs of the future. But, if we're comparing modern vehicles with past vehicles, take a look at the 1940's Jeep Willy, and the 2000 Jeep Wranglers. If someone were to watch "Band of Brothers" on HBO and scream "OH MY GOD! THOSE UNCREATIVE BASTARDS STOLE THE WRANGLER DESIGN! THAT DESIGN DOESN'T FIT ON THE AUTOMOBILE SCALE FOR THE 1940'S IT'S COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE!" Your argument makes as much sense. Please explain [i]why[/i] Enterprise is out of place. You've yet to do so, except mumble a lot about vague hyper-dynamic theories. Now, bear with me: If anything, Enterprise's design (do we have a class-name?) makes much more sense that Earth's first military starship (I'm assuming thats what [i]Enterprise[/i] essentially is) would be a single-hull design. It's easier to build, easier to design, and we don't know what if any restrictions the designers might have placed on them by the warp engine, gravity, dampening fields, etcetra. This theory also makes the Enterprise NCC-1701 look much more advanced (60's F/X withstanding) ... Earth and the Federation have been able to construct double-hulled starships (Engineering & Saucer) ... this becomes the foundation for such classes as the Constitution, Excelsior, Ambassador, Galaxy, and so on. The original design of [i]Enterprise[/i] also spawns a more limited class of vessels, including the 24th Century Akira-Class. [/QB][/QUOTE]
