[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Yes, I'm familiar with the origin of the Olympic-class!.. i said [QUOTE] although the Defiant probably had more of a design process [/QUOTE] But the track record for ships with outstanding technical specifications that were designed during the run of a show isnt that great, as opposed to the extreme detail present in such main ships as the 1701-refit, the 1701-D, VGR, Danube & DS9 station. The Olympic, the Constellation, the Nebula, the Delta Flyer, the Yeager (*shivers*) all suffered from the fact that, rather than having been designed when the designers had plenty of time sitting on their asses, they were made in between seasons or when the designers were probably juggling lots of projects (or designed as experiments and then pressed into use as more of a focus. The Nebula started out just like George's Olympic, as a 'test-model' by Miarecki.. and shortly thereafter it found itself a main backup ship. The Defiant shares many of these problems.. impulse vents, weapons ports, windows, all kind of in disarray. I mean, have you read how much thought went into just designing the E-D's windows? and how many stages DS9s shape went through. (This raises another issue altogether.. how come, when these well thought out designs were passed on to the regular series, many of their purposes became skewed. Aeroshuttles what? Variable warp geometry who? Curved docking pylons why?) [/QB][/QUOTE]
