[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] 1) Gary Hutzel not only was involved in design stages and model construction, but he also supervised the effects in just about every other episode of the entire DS9 show. This would be similar to questioning Andrew Probert about the revised Enterprise. Like Hutzel and Meininger, Probert finished the revised Enterprise design. 2) The pods are Intrepid sized because they're the Intrepid pods. No other pods were available in LightWave. If they're furthermore roughly consistent with the 560' size that Stipes, who supervised the show, claims to have used, no reason to make them smaller. 3) Six-deck turbolift schematic, seen in "The Adversary", "To the Death", "One Little Ship." Reproduced in the Captain's Chair CD-ROM. See http://www.ex-astris-scientia.de/articles/defiant/defiant-turbolift.jpg. 4) Science is based on critical interpretations of data. The Defiant is roughly 200m long in every shot with the Nebula, Excelsior and Yeager docked at DS9. Since we cannot average things or make arbitrary judgements on which shots are correct, the way to find out is to make structural measurements. As for the dialogue, it's downright impossible that both Dax and Sisko have flubbed on three occassions by mentioning a Deck 5, and that Crewman Stevens would mention hull generators "compensating for the hull breach on Deck 2" while standing on the same deck, or that O'Brien wouldn't check up on the Deck 1 people right after the bridge was hit by climbing up the ladder, or that Worf would take the Jefferies Tube instead of the ladder from Deck 1 to Deck 2. You only need to rewatch "Starship Down." [/QB][/QUOTE]
