[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I actually like the Centaur design. That's close enough to a "clean" design to look good to me. However, the Curry is butt-ugly. The parts are rearranged in a nonsensical jumble -- literally the only difference in components is the warp nacelles, which are supposedly Constitution-refit-type instead of Excelsior-native. I can see absolutely no benefit from this design, and it seems structurally very weak. I don't like how the neck has been reattached to the aft end of the secondary hull, or the nacelles attached directly to the saucer. Compared to the vast majority of the starships that we've seen Starfleet use, it's ugly and illogical. Yes, there have been "kitbash" starships before, some of which look quite good -- like the Nebula, New Orleans, Cheyenne, even the Niagra (which I like as well). But when you get to such random reconfigurations merely for the sake of redesign, that is very weak, artistically. And even weaker from an engineering standpoint. [/QB][/QUOTE]
