[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] Well I would have preferred that they had built a model of one of the more traditional Starfleet-style designs, which I found to be more aesthetically pleasing and more Starfleet or Federation like. A brick ship isn't very visually exciting, although it would offer the most interior space. Hopefully they will be able to use the designs I like for another starship in the future, perhaps a scout for one and a science ship or surveyor for the other. But the brick design goes contrary to just about all the articles we have seen in "Star Trek: The Magazine" and the treknology books about starship design when they discuss the importance of a stream-lined shape to increase performance at warp velocities. Boxes are pretty much for the [i]Alien[/i] universe in the design of starships like the [i]USCSS Nostromo[/i]. So that's what I find wrong with the brick shape. [/QB][/QUOTE]
