Why are we so mad keen on Trek ships?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Yes, but the idea of that technological base has only really taken hold fairly recently. It developed very slowly. . . First, you had TOS. Very little expansion on what Starfleet was actually like - just that they had maybe twelve Constitution-class ships, and, seemingly, little else. Second, during the 70's interregnum, you had all the Franz Josef/FASA bollocks which elaborated on the idea of Starfleet. But apart from slightly influencing things at the start of the TNG era. it had little to do with what actually then developed, and was largely ignored by the non-ultra-hardcore fans. Third, you then had the TNG era, which was almost a combination of the first two - ships seen were existing (film-era) models - Oberths, Mirandas, Excelsiors - plus a lot of mentioned-but-not-seen-onscreen other ship classes a la FASA. It was really only First Contact that brought us to where we've been ever since. This board we're posted on evolved from one that got a lot of members who wanted to know what all those new ships we saw were. The impact of those few minutes packed with new ships (probably enhanced by our memories of the recycled-stock-footage ships of the movie trailer) should never be ignored. [/QB][/QUOTE]
