[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] "We have only seen a total of five Romulan ships before Nemesis, so who is to say what a Romulan ship should look like?" Arrgh I hate these types of lines (no offence). Until the opening scene of Encounter at Farpoint, we had only seen 5 Federation ships... but we knew what a Federation starship should look like. ===== Just reprising what I said in a thread in the General Trek forum... I decided to have a look at this new ship, when I clicked the link and saw it for the first time... I laughed! LOL! What a joke, it looks like something culled from a computer game!! Infact worse. ======== DS9 D'Deridex's weren't intentionally painted darker - it's the CGI problem. The CGI models are rendered with less resolution when they are moving (which would be EVERYTIME on a TV show)... it gives less clear pictures and caps (especially). And to Liam's quip about the Haven ship... I'd rather that over-used ship with the child's lawnmower toy in it than a lot of the crap served up by Eaves. What happened to the 24th century artistic/futuristic/lovely curved ships. What is with all this 'pointy/spindly stuff'!?! Love them or hate them These ships say 24th century to me: The Galaxy family and shuttles Runabouts The Intrepid D'Deridex Rommie Scout/Science vessel Ferengi Marauder Ferengi Pod Klingon Vorcha Klingon Negh'var/Voodieh Defiant Cardassian Galor and Keldon Cardassian Hideki Hope/Olympic Dominion Bug Bajoran ship (That Kira commanded) McKinley station Terok Nor Peregrin/Fedfighter/Maquis ships Maybe: The Akira Sovvie Jemmie Battlecruiser Jupiter Station New large Cardassian/Dominion station Klingon station (Ty'gok'or) What doesn't: Rest of FC ships Lakul Breen Ship This new Rommie ship The Son'a shite The new Captain's yacht Data's scout New Suttle That Argo ship The Holodeck ship Pathfinder array This "doesn't" list includes the most "gamish" un-artistic, dark, poorly lit, pointy, unfuturistic, fanboish and majorly UNREALISTIC designs on Trek. Realism people - that's what trek holds for me. I can picture walking the decks of the Enterprise, or making my way onto the bridge of a D'Deridex Warbird... This shite ship shown... looks like something you'd be able to select in level 10 of some Trek computer game. press F10 to target, right click on your mouse, fire. etc. It's the design, but its also it's realism. Maybe it has something to do with the thought behind it. Liam - what I am talking about in reguards to it's "BoP-made-over look" is that it shares LOTS of features with the BoP that - they've tried too hard to use that ship (which has never been officially Romulan) and give it a Romulan makeover. Stick greeblies and spikes coming out of it to make it look so tough and cool (sorry I can't do the Fan-Boi speak/type ;) ) and then paint it a different green. The 'gun area' The mid-aft bulge section The neck and head (give a touch of a 'beak') Think of Romulan ships and you think Fat, Green and arrogant. Look at this ship - you'd think it's a reject from Voyager's "Drive". [/QB][/QUOTE]
