[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [qb] [QUOTE] I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the whole cut'n'paste school of thought to designing new ships. Even so, that thing just doesn't say "science Vessel" to me. It looks more like a transport and that would effectively make it a backward Sydney and since we already have an upside-down Sydney, that's be pushing things a little.[/QUOTE]Oh, believe me, I'm not either...I was just kinda extrapolating what someone like Greg Jein might have done with an older model to make it into a newer model. But that's beside the point. Honestly, I always envisioned the "Oberth" class as more of a miniaturized Galaxy class, since both the Tsiolkovsky and the Enterprise-D were commissioned the same year. You know, kinda like a smaller version of the Enterprise, but having larger windows or escape pod hatches, or a larger bridge, to represent a smaller ship. Oh, wait a minute. That's already been done... :) [/qb][/QUOTE]Sounds like you're describing the New Orleans to me. ;) Whatever the reasons though, the Grissom was an Oberth and that's that, we're stuck with it. Sure it would have been nice if they spent money on something new, but the budget is the budget and money spent there means taking it from somewhere else. To be fair though, we did eventually get the Nebula and of course the Constellation, which is way more than we got in TOS! ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
