[QUOTE]Originally posted by Stingray: [QB] Suspension of belief does not also require suspension of logic. If you assume that there are rules governing the design of starships and pretend that these are actual vehicles designed for actual purposes, then it follows that everything visible in a starship design exists in its form for a specific reason. Take starship design as an algebraic graph. Given the E-nil, we are given one point on the line. From this single point, we know nothing about the line. It can extend in any direction and have any number of values. But add in another value, the Reliant, and we have a basic Algebra II line. Add in a multitude of other points (Galaxy, Excelsior, Nebula, Akira, Intrepid, Sovereign, Ambassador, Constellation, Pheonix) and we eventually get a curved graph. With all these starships as points on a graph, we can make reasonable extrapolations [i]ad infinitum[/i] in either direction as to how starships should look. Of course, we set a domain as a starting point (Pheonix) and ending point (the end of human civilization - Enterprise Z), but between those two points the graph is valid. The problem is that NX-01 does not fit onto this graph in any sense. If this were real science, we would have to explain this discrpency somehow. But if it were real science, there [i]would[/i] be an explanation. There is none for the Akiraprize. [/QB][/QUOTE]
