[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] If I might quote myself from an earlier thread... [QUOTE]There's a world of difference between [b]basing[/b] one design on another, and outright [b]copying[/b] it. [Jeff's] post about the Miranda & Nebula class is a good example. TBTB didn't just take the Miranda design and modify it a bit, calling it the Nebula class. No, they made an entirely new ship, but with a similar configuration. It was "based" on the Miranda class, although it was an original design. The same holds true for the Constitution refit, Excelsior, Ambassador, & Galaxy classes. Although the two ships are quite different, you are correct in stating that the configuration of the Ent-D was based on the Ent-nil. However, my point was that the NX-01 was not based on the Akira; it was in fact copied from it, & that it really wasn't an original design.[/QUOTE] I've read what Drexler, Zimmerman, Braga, et. al have stated in interviews about the ship design, & I think they're all just full of it. It's like reading an interview with George Lucas in which he states how great a movie TPM was. I think the award for the dumbest interview line should go to Braga, when he stated that they had a preliminary design for the NX-01, but that it looked too much like Kirk's ship, so they decided to come up with a [i]more original design[/i] (italics mine).
