[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] But why would the Akira design disappear for two hundred years, then reappear again with some of the very same details? It's a lineage problem as Bernd indicates. I'm not saying that a ship should be different from what came before, but that it should rather be similar to ships of its era. The designers of the Excelsior, Ambassador and the Galaxy researched past designs to determine what would fit and what wouldn't. They even reused phaser emitters and saucer sensor arrays. Even if we don't know what the Ent-era looked like, we do know what the era after looks like, and there are no Akira-style ships there. The other thing is lazyness, yes. They just ended a show in which every ship of the week got an independent treatment by Rick Sternbach -- suddenly, they're starting to copy designs and reuse ships such as the K't'inga. What happened to their budget? Must have been all those sets that are supposedly inferior to the TOS sets... [/QB][/QUOTE]
