[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Ryan: ultimately, the reason the Sistine Chapel remains highly regarded today is that a bunch of people argued for centuries over whether it was a good or a bad design, resulting in a general agreement that it was. What Michelangelo thought wouldn't have mattered if he were a bad artist in most people's opinion. I never said only Rick could do original designs. I feel the Defiant is a lot more original than anything Rick did, and so is the Enterprise-E. All I'm saying is what I said -- Rick should've done the blueprints that make sure every detail works from an engineering standpoint, and that it is not just a cool shape that served a different purpose on the original ship. He did this for the Enteprise-E by Eaves, DS9 (designed by himself, Zimmerman, Okuda, and a few other people), etc. Doug Drexler should be able to do all that, having done all the MSDs, but I feel he didn't know how many of the details he should modify while keeping the producers happy. Another reason could be a lack of Probert's industrial design background or Rick's enthusiasm for real-world engineering and space vehicles. Oh, and I do like Probert's designs a lot -- unfortunately, he hasn't been working for Trek in a while, so asking him to help out might be less practical. As for the Equinox, it isn't a plaigarism of the pathfinder -- the Equinox *is* the pathfinder, and besides, the pathfinder configuration was never built. [/QB][/QUOTE]
