[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]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.[/i] Buh? That makes no sense at all. [i]With all these starships as points on a graph, we can make reasonable extrapolations ad infinitum 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.[/i] Zah? I couldn't predict what the E-F will look like based on avaiable information. Pseudogeometry. Aesthetics is not a science. Further, did it ever occur to you that there may be differences in the way the E-NX looks and the way the E-Nil looks because they served different purposes? Perhaps the advent of actual shielding technology required a change in looks for a while. [i]The problem is that NX-01 does not fit onto this graph in any sense.[/i] Nor does anything else. [i]There is none for the Akiraprize.[/i] There are any number of explainaions. Maybe the starship designers simply decided they didn't like tapering hulls. Then the next generation decided that they did. This is a matter of aesthetics. If you don't like the way it looks, fine, but just say you don't like it. Don't pretend to have some rational explaination for it when there is none. [/QB][/QUOTE]
