Well, I'm not entirely sure... [Eek!]

Is there a second pair of wings below? Like the real warbird? Or just two wings?

Only two AFAICT, unless, of course, the bottom half of the ship is cloaked.

Hmmm... I don't know... it's alright, but I'm not wet-myself impressed. I'll wait until I see her in action before making a judgement, though.

I'd be remiss in my nitpicking if I didn't say that the nacelles look amazingly like a Dominion ship's nacelles, and that the whole ship in general looks similar to the Klingon Raptor in shape. Nevertheless, it's the newest Romulan ship we've seen in years, so I'm happy about that.

I thought Sternbach was the one who designed the Valdore? This ship looks like another Eaves design to me. I had also thought that Sternbach was just going to upgrade the TNG Warbird for the Valdore. Does anyone else think that this ship is nowhere near as large as a D'Deridex?

Maybe there'll be another D'deridex with some updates and they just created a new class for the Valdore and the other Warbird because they get some more screen time than the rest of the known romulan fleet.

Judging by the neck, the bottom seems to be some sort of double hull design...or...is it.....

I think it looks less impressive than the old warbird.
It has more of an "ST Armada" small cruiser feel to it.

It's hard to believe it's double the size of the Galaxy.

Seeing post-Dominion War designs for Trek movie, starting with the Son'a-collector up until the new Warbird, we shouldn't have expected anything else. I think it's better than Scimitar, but it's also just cool-looking tech. The old Warbird had something I would call a soul.

The new warbird seems to be at least 50% larger than the old TNG one. In the article that the pic came from mentions that Picard has to zoom out to see the entire ship. That is one biiiig birdie, when you figure that the Enterprise crew was certainly expecting a TNG warbird.
I like it: I can build it once specs become available: It looks cooler than the TNG version IMHO and waaay cooler than the Scimitar. [Wink]
