I'm just shooting in the air here though. [/qb][/QUOTE]The comic writers and artists have nothing to do with the scriptwriters of the movies. [/qb][/QUOTE]Unfortunately not so- back when DC had the liscence, they had srious restrictions on making new Federation designs- possibly there are simmular limits imposed on the current batch of comics...not that DC ever hired an artist that bothered to draw any of the ships better than a third grader. Hell, even as a Trek junkie back in the mid 80's I could not stomach their comics.

[/qb][/QUOTE]Look closer at the inner port nacelle: NCC-1701 http://i.imgur.com/xSjePu8.jpg [/qb][/QUOTE]On the other hand, looking at that pic, I thin the artist might just suck- his editors too, for letting that get to press. I particularly like how the artist added no aztec pattern and only minimal detail and how the colorist decided to just impose some rectangles over te saucer that in no way match the ship's hull or perspective. Amazing that such shit can be considered professional work while hundreds of fansites turn out incredible caliber work just for the love of Trek. On the plus side, it looks like they put the correct number of windows to match the decks on this ship, unlike thhe Cloverprise...I'm sure that it was unintentional though, as they did not put any other details like docking ports pr RCS or any detail in the deflector or... Really, the best thing Paramount could do would be to give the comics franchise to Dark Horse- they are losing the Star Wars liscence this year when it's terms expire because Disney now owns SW and Marvel...but damnit, Dark Horse too SW to amazing new heights- they could do as much for Trek by focusing on the so called Lost Era between TOS' movies and TNG. Nim that large expansive bridge you linked in looks cool...but the central open area is either a wste of space or possibly genius- I can see many people gracefully moving through that area in zero G, each with their own portable (or holographic) command station. On a spaceship, I'd guess clastraphobia would be a real issue after a while, so making the working areas as open as possible would make sense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
