Oh God, not the Yeager again.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] All good and well... But I think there could also be a definite demand for a Yeager-style ship in regular Fleet service. Just being ugly is not reason enough for a ship to be declared a one-off oddity, as we've seen with the ST:FC vessels... Now the Elkins is a bit more objectionable, because her nacelles come from a completely wrong era. Her secondary hull is such an extensive and finished-looking undertaking that I can't believe it would be a hasty wartime construction done to complete a half-built Intrepid as cheaply as possible. She doesn't look like a testbed for advanced technology, either. Her engines are outdated, so those can't be the test articles. And if the intent was to test the Intrepid primary hull, why build the very extensive and streamlined secondary hull? Why not something like the Yeager stern? Add to that the sad fact that the model is really crappy, with the primary hull out of alignment with the nacelles or the secondary hull... If that's the result of combat damage, why wasn't it fixed first, before applying those LN-64 nacelles in place of whatever nacelles the ship lost in combat? I could just barely believe in this being a TOS movie era vessel up to her neck (with the LN-64s and the rounded deflectors defining the era). A structurally compromised and discarded Intrepid primary hull would be mated to her at a later stage for use as an inert dockside depot ship or barracks ship. Then comes the call to arms, and the harbormaster hands over his list of ships that are theoretically capable of warp drive... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
