And here, ladies and gents, is the best of the bunch! [Wink]

NOTE: There are some minor Nemesis spoilers in the very last column of the last paragraph on the second page, and an even more minor one in the last sentence inside the box entitled "Romulan BIRD-OF-PREY: 2152" on the third page. So, as long as you gloss over those little bits, you shouldn't have any problem.

[from the February 2003 issue of Star Trek: The Magazine, pp. 74-81]

For some reason, this CGI model looks really...well...real to me. I'm not sure whether it shows as well in the scans, but every time I glance at the mag pages I could swear for an instant that it's a physical model! [Eek!]

Enjoy!

"You'll know it's a Romulan ship by [the bird painted on it]"

Boo! As I recall, the episode seemed to go out of its way not to show the undersides of the ships. At the time I thought "Aha! They are waiting to reveal that feature in some dramatic shot in the future."

I have to admit, it's a beautiful ship. But it seems to much of a 24th century ship design than 22nd.

God DAMN IT! [Mad]

I was having a really bad time w/this yesterday. I forgot to mention that about the Sternbach article too.

Anyhow, there's nothing but the merest of plot details in the thing. (The name of the villian and what happens to him at the end of the film---which is hardly a big surprise in an action/adventure film.)

Thanks a lot for the pics, Mim!

What?! Please tell me you're not serious.

Do we know how big these BoP are? Going by the windows, they seem to have a similar deck count to the TOS Bird so they might be about the same size.

Anyway, thanks for the pics, Mim. Most appreciated.

Tis true Dax. Pushed from Jan 16th to Feb 6th.

You know that Romulan ship would have been a Beauty in TNG era. Why couldn't they have made it more clunky? We know, we know - CGI - easier to make curvey things look realistic.

That sux! Thanks for the information though, Andrew.

Regarding the ENT BoP design, other than the overtly Jem'Hadarish nacelles, I really like it. It strikes me as the way the TOS BoP should have always been and, to be honest, I don't think it'd be good as a TNG era ship -- the Romulans had clearly moved on from that style by that time.

The cgi they used for the pic of the TOS bop in that article is a nasty one. They didn't even bother with putting the plasma launcher on it.

Anyway in case anyone is interested I'm doing a lower poly version of the Ent BOP for use in the Bridge Commander game. As it sit's it is a bit over 2400 polies.

Yeah, that picture of the TOS ship was awful, 100% awful. Too bad it was a screenshot.

I think he meant the one from the Sternbach article, which was a CGI pic. And it was a little...unflattering.

Maybe someone could slightly redesign the TOS BoP to have more surface detail. That would clean up the mess at least a little bit.
