[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] ^To be fair, IIRC the planet killer was done buy Netter Digital, a company made up of mostly FI's least talented people that Netter poached so it's hardly representative of the quality of the rest of the show. As for the general aesthetics of the alien ships, I thought they made a good job making the ships distinctive from almost anything else in sci-fi. Plus, the colours were hardly the only distinguishing features, that's just stupid. Even if they were painted boring starfleet grey, you can clearly tell the difference between a Vorlon, Minbari, Centauri, Narn, Shadow and Earth ship design. Likewise what little was seen of the League ships were fairly distinct. I don't think anyone would mistake a Drazi Sunhawk for a Vree saucer. They even seemed to go to the trouble of showing a technological relationship between Centauri, Earth and Narn ships. It rather subtly reflected how certain technologies passed from the Centauri to the Narn through reverse engineering and from both of them to Earth through trade. As for the Honorverse ships...yeah I have to say I was greatly disappointed when I saw the official designs. I know the descriptions in the books were fairly precise but I think there was still enough room for a *little* artistic imagination in there somewhere. Not that I'm a huge fan of the books or anything. I honestly found most of the early ones a bit of a slog and for me the title character didn't even begin to get interesting until that one with the pistol duelling. [/QB][/QUOTE]
