[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE][b]Originally posted by Timo:[/b] Not too implausible as a late 22nd century starship, tho. But there's no way in hell that this could serve as the basis of the Constitution class through some minor tinkering, as classic fanfic is wont to think. Oh, well.[/QUOTE]Agreed. IMO the old fan idea that the [i]Constitution[/i] could be created from a completely different class by slapping on a secondary hull or some crazy rearranging of the components is woefully uninformed and naive. And the only reason most fans try to think of that in the first place is to explain the [i]Constellation[/i]'s registry number. And seeing how the producers and effects crew had no idea at all that any major franchise would develop from the show, I figure it's just one of those irreconcilable conflicts. (Of course, my personal opinion is that the Planet Killer's intense gravity and subspace-dampening fields caused some bizarre optical lensing effects that seemed to rearrange the [i]Constellation[/i]'s registry number, when its [b]real[/b] number is NCC-1710.) :p [QUOTE]I wonder what the artist's inspiration was. Just doodling with ENT elements? Devising a new hero ship of his liking? Creating something so ugly that everybody would at once understand why Paramount had opted not to place any of its shows in this period of Trek history?[/QUOTE]Nah, it's just inspired by the [URL=http://www.starfleet-museum.org/paris.htm][i]Paris[/i]-class light cruiser[/URL]. Just more proof that Masao was on the right track for early starship design all along. :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
