[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dax: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [qb]I was first alarmed when reading about the drill holes. But, as has been speculated before, if all or most of the later BoPs (physical and CGI) had them too, there is no point in this additional detail and it doesn't conflict with my previous considerations about the topic. It is interesting though. Thanks, Dax.[/qb][/QUOTE]That's the thing -- all the BoP after TNG are of the small variety and don't appear to have the drill holes. ILM must have restored the miniature for TUC.[qb] [QUOTE]Anyway, I find myself on the side of Mike and Timo concerning the importance of shapes.[/qb][/QUOTE]I'm still leaning towards that side too. Currently I'm just presenting the facts as I see/know them. To be honest, when Mitch Jones first contacted me I was reluctant to believe anything he told me. Mostly that was because what he said was unheard of and there was no way I could confirm the information. Now that I/we have the DVDs, it is proven that he was right, and I feel this new evidence is too strong to simply be ignored.[qb] [QUOTE]We may have to decide from case to case which is prevalent, but generally I tend to pay more attention to the shape.[/qb][/QUOTE]Agreed, but if visible external detail has been changed with intent, then it's worth at least consideration.[qb] [QUOTE]Finally, I would like to annotate that at least two frequently quoted sizes of the BoP are completely unnecessary in my view. There is no need that Martok's BoP should be any larger than the 110m long model. I doubt that we would ever see the roughly 25% difference on screen, even if the two allegedly different BoPs would fly next to each other. The other one is the D-12 from "Generations" or the prototype from TUC. Why can't it be just another standard BoP, only equipped differently, considering that there was no size comparison possible with the E-D or E-A, respectively? The nomenclature alone does not establish a size difference, just think of D-7 and K't'inga.[/qb][/QUOTE]Couldn't agree more. [/QB][/QUOTE]
