[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Oh, whatever. They've all got the same basic design shape. The only reason people bitch about [i]Enterprise[/i] is because they prejudged the series to begin with. It's got nothing to do with "this does [i]this[/i] on the Akira, but it does [i]this[/i] on the Enterprise." If you'd ever listen to the arguements, it's all "they were so lazy in designing the ship." Mark Nguyen called the design a "ripoff." TSN said Enterprise was "obviously made to resemble that ship [Akira] very closely in many respects." And so on. I think Bernd has been much more blunt about his feelings. And it doesn't boil down to different functions by the same things as you claim. What it boils down to is, some folk think Enterprise's designers are lazy for basing the design on the Akira-Class. However, they don't think the designers of the Excelsior-, Ambassador, or Galaxy- Class starships are lazy for basing the design off the Constitution. It's just mindless bashing which lets people feel superior, while in reality making them "Comic Book Guy" from [i]The Simpsons[/i]. So, answer me this: the Excelsior, Ambassador, and Galaxy-Class clearly were based on the Constitution design. The NX-class is clearly based on the Akira design. What's the difference in calling the [i]Enterprise[/i] designer lazy when you don't call the designers of the others lazy? J -- you posted when I was typing, naughty boy. So, you mean all the anger about the "Enterprise" design is about a few insignificant details that very few people notice? So if they'd done a dual-hull design and copied those features, you'd be just as bad? C'mon, clearly the anger is at the catamaran style that Enterprise borrowed from the Akira-Class (even though, if you look at the two, you can see they're just "features" the two have in common -- much the way the Const/Amb/Exc/Gal all have similar features).
