[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Dax Said: "As for the computer generated thing, remember that both the Ent-E and the Jemmy battle cruiser were originally built as physical miniatures, yet they are still distinctive Eaves designs. BTW, if anyone has any photos of the Jemmy BC model I would love to see them." Yes, well maybe that is the problem. Those two ships don't look HALF bad (Not Fantasmagorical but not bad) Maybe they should be designed with "If it can't be built as a physical model, then it shouldn't be a design" I.e. All those pointy things that have no real need to be on there (on the Reman ship)... Like WTF? Same with some of those things on the new Romulan ships - like the pods near the nacelles - things are put there cause they might look 'cool' but they make it hard to picture the ship being really believable - i.e. existing physically. Timo said: "But Sternbach is also functional and utilitarian, which the original Jeffries and Chang and Probert and Minor were, and which Eaves isn't." Well that's what I like about their designs (I don't believe they are BORING) They are more REALISTIC. As I said earlier I could picture being in a work bee outside a nacelle of a Galaxy Class ship but, I really could see myself approaching that new Romulan ship's nacelles... they whole thing looks... fake. Functional - yes. Things on most of the Trek ships have reasons, they haven't had things stuck on them just to make the ship look 'cool' or 'streamlined' etc. And again, I think it has something to do with the whole CGI thing, cause it's easier to do a curvy ship than it is to make one more... rigid and thus more realistic.
