[QUOTE]Originally posted by mrneutron: [QB] The D is one of those love-hate things with most people. Personally, I like the D, but like Mojo I like the 1701 refit best (not the A...they mucked up the paintjob). I think the one main thing the 1701 and refit both have over all the other designs is a general sense of balance between the components. Nothing seems out of proportion with anything else. When the ship is coming towards you, the saucer looks huge, when seen from behind, the nacelles look huge and the saucer smaller. Which is a case of the right size of elements being balanced. There's not a single angle (unless you park the lens right against one part of it) where the rest of the ship can be entirely obscured by any other part. This is not the case with most of the other ship designs including the D, Voyager, Reliant, etc, where the damned saucer can hide most of the rest of the ship if not all of it. The Excleior is the classic case of a ship that has a few great angles and a lot of bad ones. It looks sleek and fast in a few angles, but turn it wrong and it looks like a big fat lump. Voyager's puny engines and huge inverted-spoon saucer are one of the best examples of bad proportions. I think the fusing of saucers into engineering hulls results in a lot of similar design problems. What you get are ships that look fast and sleek from the side or above and below, but get around the front and it's Fatty Starbuckle. [/QB][/QUOTE]
