[QUOTE]Originally posted by crobato: [QB] [i] Looking at the Akira, Steamrunner, Sabre and Norway classes, I'd consider them to be older vessels (20 years or more?), possibly upgraded to present weaponry standards (and quite possibly not). They don't seem to match the present design philosophy of Starfleet - even though their weapons and escape systems might be updated. [/i] Umm, the reason why they look like the way they were is simply because a single outsider---Alex Jaeger of Industrial Light and Magic---designed all four of them. I won't consider them old actually. They were inspired and were meant as replacements of the Miranda class, ironically an earlier ILM design as well. The AJ-FC ships had a different mindset---essentially looking for an anti-Borg warship---based on the concepts laid by the Defiant. Like the Defiant, the idea behind them was to look simply different. This is in contrast to the TV designed ships, which are done within Paramount itself and staff directly working on the TV show. This staff, like John Eaves and Rick Sternbach, is more or less acquianted with a better sense of technological and styling continuity. Looking for designs that can span both from the Enterprise E and Voyager, two of the most recent designs are the Prometheus and Nova classes. Even if the Prometheus has a radical concept, you can see from its design that it has a much greater styling continuity from ships like the Sovereign and Intrepid. The Steamrunner could look like it came out from Star Wars, but the Promie looks very recognizably Trek. [/QB][/QUOTE]
