[QUOTE]Originally posted by DougM: [QB] Yeah, everyone seems to hate the hammerhead and tell us it it would look better as a saucer. And I agree, it would look like a much better Trek ship with a saucer, but we wanted it to look a little different. We talk about this in the commentary, but basically what happened was we were having a nightmare of a time coming up with even a rough design for Enterprise. You have three guys who have been fans for years, all of whom met while working at Trek, and they all have their own ideas. It's something each of us has literally grown up thinking about. We were stuck, and we wanted something to put in the pitch packet. So we asked Mike Okuda, and he said that there are three essential pieces to an Enterprise. The saucer, the nacelles, and an engineering section. Every variation ever made, underneath the fluff, simply moves those pieces around. He recommended we change one of them. It would visually separate our iteration from the others, and symbolize that Starfleet HAS changed; that Chase and his crew were out to fix something that was veering off course. We decided to change the saucer. I still think a sleeker, more detailed version of that design would look pretty nice. And it would have been cool to see Starfleet ships gradually return to old style saucers while Chase's Enterprise remained a reminder of the past. And then in season seven, when the besaucered new flagship class of a newly energized Starfleet was christened Enterprise, it would be a sign that Chase was successful despite the cost (which you would have seen along the way). And then the next series follows a new crew on that Enterprise. I'm mostly joking, although I am going to go write some of that down. Just trying to explain the thought behind why it's shaped like that. I don't think besaucered is actually even a word. [/QB][/QUOTE]
