[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I thought "technology unchained" refered to the idea that the tech shouldn't [i]intrude[/i] on humans lives. Also that it should be used to enhance the quality of life, and guff. I didn't think it had anything to do with tracing the design lineage. To be fair, it is gtting harder and harder to design Federation ships. When they did the first non-Enterprise ship, they basically removed the engineering section. The Reliant looked Starfleet, because it had almost all the same components as the Enterprise, yet it had a radically different sillouete. While the Ambassador, Galaxy, New Orleans, and so on, all look "Starfleet", they also create a problem for the producers. Casual fans can't tell them apart. When I first saw "Yesterdays Enterprise", I thought the ship was the Enterprise-A. The Nebula was eventually built because TPTB needed a comtempry ship of the Ent-D that looked different to the casual fan. The First Contact ships are going even further along that design. They were not they main point of the movie. They will likely never be the main focus of a movie, or even episode. So let's make them look as different from current Starfleet ships as possible, so that when we see them in fleet shots, we KNOW they're different. You might mistake an Excelsior for a Sovereign from a distance, but you'd never mix up a Galaxy and Steamrunner. [/QB][/QUOTE]
