[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: No, the SSM guy wrote on how the director is ultimately the one that says what a ship should and will look like- artists take direction from him and make changes at his say so.[/QUOTE]Still, I'm sure Abrams's total involvement consisted of nothing more than him going to his art department and saying, "I need you guys (or guy, in this instance, since it's quite obvious the ship was designed by John Eaves) to create a big, mean-looking ship." [QUOTE]Even great designs get rejected in favor of stuff like a silver akira with the nacelles up[/QUOTE]Actually, UPN wanted to use the actual Akira class for the NX-01. How stupid would that have been? But really, comparing the UPN suits to JJ Abrams is like apples and oranges. [QUOTE]Check out Sternbach's lovely first Voyager design for example...and we got that football with the tiny flapping nacelles instead![/QUOTE]The only "real" difference between what Sternbach drew up and what we eventually got were the nacelles. If Voyager's nacelles were larger and longer, it would have looked fine. [QUOTE]And we know it was Abrams himself that decided the Cloverprise would be larger than the Soverign just to make "his" ship the biggest.[/QUOTE]I don't remember it that way. I remember the ship starting out as just a slight bit bigger than the original E, but halfway through, the visual artists realized that a lot of the VFX shots ended up reinforcing the idea of a much larger ship. I don't think Abrams really cared how big the ship was, or if he did say something to that effect, he was probably just joking after the fact. [/QB][/QUOTE]
