[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Thing is that historically, a design like the NX-01 Enterprise would've been nothing but a ship of the week in a tight-budget show that had to reuse CG models or kitbash physical models. If ever such a ship were to play a major role (Reliant, Stargazer), the artists would've ensured that the reused components have a consistent scale and are from a similar time period. The weird kitbashes such as the Yeager and the Wolf 359 ships were never seen up close. To their credit, the producers mostly dispensed with these on Voyager, where even a ship of the week would get a full treatment by Sternbach. The NX-01 design process is embarrasingly short and atypical when compared to even that of an unimportant ship of the week on Voyager. Not to mention DS9, Voyager, or the Ent-E, which took weeks and weeks of development and refinement. I don't know what's wrong with the show. They had so many ships of the week in Voyager, but now they can't even design a Klingon ship of the week for an older era. Something is different in the real world. My interpretation is that Braga wants this to be a "reimagination" of the Star Trek universe, and so he allowed some of the familiar designs to appear in a different era. Of course, he'll use other designs when necessary. Maybe they simply spent too much money on the new sets. Then again, maybe they simply can't replace Rick Sternbach. [/QB][/QUOTE]
