[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Mojo, I'm usually very nitpicky, and I've talked to at least ten people that have been involved with the production of Star Trek. Given that I pointed out the faults of the old Defiant model a few times, I have to thank you now. I haven't seen anyone more concerned with technical accuracy and fan input. You're in good company with Mike Okuda and Andrew Probert. The picture of the new Defiant reminds me of photographs of plastic models put together, which says something about the realism. I'd change the lighting, though. I notice more detail and a few modified elements -- Brian Fisher, who did the model for "Sacrifice of Angels", was the first to raise some panels here and there, give the ship some three-dimensionality. Some of those details, such as the stepped bridge module and the seemingly lower width remind me of that "Sacrifice of Angels" model -- overall, however, the ship is much closer to the studio model than the one you've used so far. Although this Defiant feels a bit like a "reimagining" (to use Tim Burton's expression) with more detail, artistically, it's good that it adopts some of the design elements from the "Sacrifice of Angels" model. After all, the Defiant has always been the work of many people, and it's only proper that some elements from Fisher's model should be included. I'll note that the impulse engine red lights are not always on -- sometimes they're just dark holes even when the ship is flying. I ascribe this to the secondary impulse system in the tail of the ship, or perhaps the maneuvering thrusters. Dax may correct me, but I believe we haven't seen precisely where the beam phaser originated in "Paradise Lost" and "Shattered Mirror" -- it came from the bridge area, but not necessarily from the circular hole as far as I could tell.
