[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] No-one (I think) is saying that the kitbashed designs we've seen on screen don't exist. What we're saying is that [i]Starfleet[/i] didn't "kitbash" them. If you have a real starship, you can't just cut it apart and put it back together a different way and expect it to work. Plus there's the fact that the pieces aren't scaled correctly. The [i]Centaur[/i] uses a [i]Miranda[/i] rollbar and the [i]Curry[/i] uses [i]Miranda[/i] nacelles. Yet, if we take the [i]Excelsior[/i] parts to be normally sized, the [i]Miranda[/i] parts are huge. Obviously, they were not simply cut from actual [i]Mirandas[/i] and pasted onto parts cut from [i]Excelsiors[/i]. The point is, SF uses designs that have parts that look [i]similar[/i] to other designs, but they don't actually cut those designs apart and rearrange the pieces (only the modelmakers do that). I mean, you wouldn't say that SF made the [i]Miranda[/i] by actually disassembling a [i]Constitution[/i] and rebuilding it in a different arrangement, would you? [/QB][/QUOTE]
