[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb] IMHO: 2. If we couldn't rule it out before, why should we be able to now? Whatever her specific design, I think we all envisioned the [i]Antares[/i] as being some kind of TOS-like design. If movie era ships are still being used (and, what's more, being [i]built[/i]) in the TNG era, then I see no reason why this design couldn't still be around as well, especially since it's proabably a fairly simple, utilitarian, and low-maintenance vessel. Of course, there's no reason why it need look like this anymore, though. The TOS aesthetics have probably long been refitted out. 3. On the contrary, I would rather tend to think the very fact that they used the registry from the Encyclopedia should lend more credence to the class designation from the same source. Still, I am now a bit confused as to what this means regarding the [i]Xhosa[/i] design from DS9, which had TOS-style computer interfaces and a dedication plaque designating it as [i]Antares[/i]-class... On the other hand, this point brings up again a question that has so far been skirted by us in our discussion of these "remastered" episodes: Are they actually to be taken as re-writing the canon account of things, superceeding the originals, or simply an interesting and fun diversion? Until more time passes, it's hard to tell. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/qb][/QUOTE]I know folks have said the main reason we only seen mostly the existing physical models from the movies is because they didn't build any other types of feddy ships during TNG for regular use. Other than the kitbash ships for BoBW's, they used nothing else truely original. why? because nobody at Paramount either told 'em to, or they said, no $ availible when they did ask. There are also other possiblities that could have prevented them from doing so. One: What if FC (or who ever the 70's Saladin/Federation sket maker was. His name eludes me)'s estate used Paramount of using designs of ships simular to theirs? I mean, that's one of the possible reasons B-Bird made the 2 nacelle oath, right? Two: FASA, on their defunctness designs or SFB's? I'm lossing my chain of thought but hopefully someone will reconise my ideas/concerns, neh? [/QB][/QUOTE]
