[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I just wonder how all these extremely wide and flat ships will fit on the screen. Sure, the silver screen itself is wide and flat. But there's still only so much you can do with formations and maneuvering when your ships are shaped like that, and forced to fly in the same horizontal plane and in the same orientation. The screen will get very crowded very soon. With the two broad and flat Son'a ships, they did some nice "staggered formations". And the ships nicely "hovered over" the poor E-E during the first big flyby scene where Son'a reinforcements arrive over Baku. But "hovering over", while menacing, doesn't work as a snazzy combat maneuver. And having the enemy ships staggered makes it look as if they'd collide with each other any minute. And the long and narrow E-E is the one they make do a roll? That's a sensible maneuver, but visually not all that impressive. An end-over-end thing like the Discovery in "2010" would fit that ship better... In contrast, one of these bird-ships could do a very nice roll, but would look comical flipping like the BoP did in "Way of the Warrior." The birdlike nature almost forces it to maneuver like an aircraft, which ain't all that cool. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
