[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] What WILL happen sooner or later is that TPTB will show us a pre-NX-01 starship design. And when they get the urge to do so, they'll at some point ask Okuda whether there already exists a pre-NX-01 starship they could use. And Mike will say "nope" because in his books, the Daedalus is post-Enterprise. Whether Mike or Doug or somebody else will then campaign for the use of the sphere-and-can design is a different matter. But even if they do, TPTB will just say "But you said there were no pre-NX-01 designs - where did this come from?". If Mike then says "Well, yeah, but this *looks* like it could be old", the best we can expect from TPTB is a half-hearted "Perhaps we can use some of those design elements". They won't buy the Daedalus, not after the initial rejection. I see only one course of events that would lead Paramount to using the Daedalus in the sphere-and-can format. If they don't listen to their tech folks, they won't run across this design. If they do, they'll learn that it's slightly controversial as a pre-Enterprise, and will bolt. But if the tech people just sort of smuggle the design into the show as a cute in-joke, *then* it might be possible to finally get the sphere-and-can design and the Daedalus name canonically combined. All it takes is a lull in CGI work and a bored yet knowledgeable employee... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
