[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] [QUOTE]As Matt Jeffries indicated in his discussions of the design of the TOS Enterprise, lack of surface detail was intentional. He wanted smooth hullplates. He wanted everything to be able to be serviced from inside the ship, so there would be no hazerdous EVA work to replace a burnt out component.[/QUOTE] And of course, this leads me to think of a possible explanation for the problem of the SS Enterprise having a rough surface and the USS Enterprise having a smooth surface. Perhaps sometime between the two time periods, the folks at the ASDB decided to try this revolutionary approach to starship design whereby the crews do not have to face the dangers of EVA. Hence, they designed new lines of starships that used this idea of crew-friendliness. Thus, the ships got smooth, the components became assessible from the inside, the controls became simpler, etc. [/QB][/QUOTE]
