[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] It is IMHO much worse to have a complex, greeblie-covered shape like the Ju'day/"Peregrine"/"Yeager" one be scaled up and down, than to have a simple aesthetically pleasing form like the starbase mushroom applied in several different sizes. It would be easy to accept that engineers would *want* to build starbases like that when functionality placed no real demands on shape. (And easy to ignore the few unchanged greeblies, too.) But who'd want to repeat the ugly yet prominent details of Ju'day for solely aesthetic reasons? Unless that is the exact shape of the Gurgling Gnawlybird so adored by the starship engineers of Gurglia IV. In contrast, IMHO it makes perfect sense for these winged starship hulls to be built in several different sizes. Both from the POV that there must be a market for such things across a wide size range, and from the POV that certain design houses would get to build certain ship categories and would apply certain trademark design solutions. If these different sizes just came in even slightly more varied shapes, I'd be happy indeed... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
