[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I think we might wish to acknowledge the fact that there are many shots towards the "stern" of the ship, that is, to camera left towards the landing strut - and they all show clear sky above any section the ship might have beyond that strut, not propping above the roof level of the section above the door. Moreover, the rock cliff with the cave dwellings sits in the direction of stern as well (although only starboard aft, again because we see blue sky to port aft). The ship shouldn't extend too far in that direction, even if it were customary to park in the shadow of a cliff for protection. A narrow stern would work; a broad one with nacelles would be a problem. In contrast, there are basically no shots aimed towards the "bow" of the ship, that is, away from the strut. It's as if the camera dolly had a hard limiter there, to hide the imperfections of the set. All angles forward are angled down as well, to highlight the punishment box and hide the skyline. Personally, I'd favor a design that extended significantly forward (that is, to camera right) from the struts, but truncated almost immediately aft of them (that is, to camera left) - much like in the Sternbach sketches. She could be twice or thrice as long as the sketched intentions, though, so that there would be room for a propulsion section amidships. If the ship has outboard warp engines, these might then lie just to the right of the set, flanking the hull. A dorsally mounted pair would be intriguing as well, though. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
