[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Not *too* different, though, so that it would make at least some minimal sense to attempt the refit. Perhaps the primary hull and the engines were completely different, but the secondary hull was virtually identical to the final product? Then, it would make sense to do a "refit" instead of a "rebuild", if an entire section of the original could be used without major modifications. I've doodled my share of pre-TOS ships, and a "Horizon class" made out of a Constitution secondary hull, a flattened-sphere primary hull mounted on a very short neck, and two nacelles slightly smaller than the eventual Constitution ones, on extremely short pylons close to the hull, would seem to do the trick. A relatively sleek starship would result, nicely between Daedalus and Constitution in design philosophy. Starfleet would then try out several different ways to fit a saucer hull into that design. Not all of them would have to look like Constitutions - perhaps the Eagle and the Republic never much looked like the Enterprise, and only the Constellation (the only low-rego ship we actually saw on screen) actually resembled the end product?
