[QUOTE]Originally posted by crobato: [QB] I don't know if ILM did the Miranda and the Excelsior. There is this popular legend that the Miranda's design was actually reversed by accident when it was presented to Harve Bennett, and the original design was supposed to look something like this: [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/heavyfrigate_miranda_prop.jpg]http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/heavyfrigate_miranda_prop.jpg[/URL] Anyway, if anyone looks at the four ILM Alex Jaeger designed ships (Akira, Steamrunner, Norway, Sabre classes), he certainly has a different train of thought and basically out of synch with the rest of the starship designers. There was a clear trend towards triangular hulls (Prometheus, Intrepid, Nova, Sovereign, Dauntless), perhaps molded by what they feel are dictated by the physics of sustained Warp 9.9 flight. With the exception of the Norway, which does have a triangular hull, the other three ships reversed that design trend. Note that the Jaeger ships tend to have a single flat hull, a structure extending from the back, downward pylons or wings. I would believe that the Miranda may be ILM designed, but not the Excelsior.
