[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] I don't quite understand the hostility some fans have toward the design work of John Eaves. He cannot be blamed for the hated [i]Akiraprise[/i]or the brick-shaped holoship in Insurrection, its what the producers wanted from him. My favorite rendering by John Eaves has to be his first design for the holoship, the ship with only a primary hull saucer and the two warp nacelles with the registry NX-75115. I even like his second try at the holoship. But the producers didn't like those and they wanted him to draw what looks like a brick or a shoebox with engines and a bridge module. Yuck. :( I think that his designs for the [i]Enterprise[/i] E, the Insurrection shuttle, [i]Calypso[/i], [i]Argo[/i], Breen attack cruiser, Son'a ships of Insurrection, quantum torpedo, [i]Valdore[/i], and [i]Scimitar[/i] are just brilliant. Perhaps some people object to his Volvo-ization of starship design, especially noticable in his shuttle and scout designs. They're boxy but they're good seems to be the approach. I think most people may confuse John Eaves' work with that of Alex Jaeger at ILM. I personally don't care for his designs of the [i]St(r)eamrunner[/i], [i]Saber[/i], and the unused [i]Zandura[/i] classes. Plus the supposed capabilities of the [i]Akira[/i]-class, with seven torpedo tubes and a thru-deck shuttle bay are absurd. :eek: The line drawing that was posted to this thread that we are discussing now was drawn by Alex Jaeger, and not John Eaves. So why do some people think that it's even appropriate to mention Eaves' talent in this thread or compare him to other beloved designers of [i]Star Trek[/i] in the first place. :confused: [/QB][/QUOTE]
