[QUOTE]Originally posted by DougM: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [qb]REFINE the design, put some curves into the edges of the hull. I can stomach square shaped, as long as it isnt completely Lego shaped. If its supposed to be in lineage with ENT's ENT-J, then it needs to be evident that ship makers are looking in that direction of ship design... [/qb][/QUOTE]I've explained this a couple times on different boards and on the site itself, but the ship is a CONCEPT design. It was modeled in Sketchup, a program that does not deal well with curves and rounded edges, to give a ROUGH IDEA of what the ship would look like. The actual ship as you would have seen it flying across the screen would not look like that. It would have the same overall shape, but be more refined, have better textures, and be a little more graceful. We did not have time nor budget for a final design. I am working with some artists now to hopefully give people a better idea of a final look, but who knows if that will happen. We were never looking at it as an extension of the J. It is designed to be a visual indication of the fact that Starfleet has changed and moved away from the ideas of the past. Not that I don't love the J, but it's a ship from a future that never occurred based on events in Enterprise. This is a different future. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [qb]out of curiousity, have you actually made pitchs to TPTB about a animated trek series? Has anyone? [/qb][/QUOTE]The more complete explanation is on the site, but this story was pitched to Startrek.com and CBS Interactive as a web series. They liked the idea, and we wrote the script and approached animation houses for preliminary budgets. Then CBS laid off everyone at Startrek.com and reshuffled all of CBS Interactive. That pretty much killed it for us. I am glad you like the project (other than the ship). We're hoping to continue telling our story in script form, so stay tuned to the site for more details.
