[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE] What happened to the 24th century artistic/futuristic/lovely curved ships. [/QUOTE]We're possibly looking at different ships here, but I'h having trouble seeing how a runabout is "curved" or "artistic". It looks bulky and workman-like to me (which is what it [i]should[/i] look like, but still). [QUOTE]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.[/QUOTE]And if someone had shown us the Defiant after [i]Encounter at Farpoint[/i], people would have had a fit. I'm not sure where the figure of "5 Romulan ships" has come from. By my count, there's been three. The original BOP, the D'Deridex, and the scout ship. The Klingon D7 cruiser hardly counts. And out of those three ships, only one is a starship that the Romulans have used in the past 20 years. So really, we only have one ship to use as an example of how the Romulans build their starships. [QUOTE]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).[/QUOTE]I'm not sure I agree. I think Jason is right, the darker colours were to better fit in with the mood of the series. Besides, they were darker in "The Die is Cast", and they weren't using CGI ships then. [QUOTE]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.[/QUOTE]Really? It's always seemed like a terrible waste of space to me. I like the design, and it's probably an attempt by the Romulans to make a really big ship without having to fill it with stuff, but still, exactly what is in those massive wings? It doesn't look especially BOP-ish to me anyway. It looks more like the D'Deridex with the bottom half taken off. [/QB][/QUOTE]
