An ugly child, but that's not my fault...

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] There's a lot more. The E-refit's impulse engines glowed a dull orange-red at some times, but a bright blue at others... The [i]Reliant[/i]'s shuttlebays also glowed bright blue -- or did they... The E-D's shuttlebay doors -- from the inside -- usually show a ruddy glow of some kind through the translucent inner door panels. The outer doors of more recent ships -- the [i]Galaxy[/i] and [i]Ambassador[/i] classes, for example -- have opaque outer doors. The glow from the [i]Miranda[/i] and [i]Constellation[/i] shuttlebays (again, for example) is coming through the doors from inside. Supposing these are landing floodlights, I see them switching from blue to red, as red preserves night vision. And they switched to the opaque outer doors when pilots objected to flying toward what looked like powered impulse engines. ;) Don't ask me why [i]Miranda[/i]s and [i]Constellation[/i]s didn't make the same switch -- the real-world explanation is they don't ponder such things, and just carry the models, unmodified from their first appearances, forward into a completely different timeframe. It would be something I'd modify in any "Special Edition" treatment, myself... --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
