[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]This is, again, mostly just thoughts based on what you would *like* to see rather than what you actually *did* see.[/QUOTE]If you mean that I would rather have seen newer designs instead of the same old crap I saw in the movies, then yes, you're absolutely right. I also believe that almost everyone else on this board would have probably felt the same way. [QUOTE]You proceed from the assumption that all of those Excelsiors and Mirandas were older vessels. However, if you consider that these designs might have still been in production even well into the 24th century, the registries make fine sense.[/QUOTE]Yes, I agree with that. However, that wasn't my point. My point was that once the design lineage tech-wise took a turn with the Ambassador class, it should have kept going along those lines. Instead, we still have older-style ships both in production at the same time, and even surpassing the more advanced vessel for decades to come. That, in my opinion, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. [QUOTE]Remember, just because a DESIGN is old, it doesn't mean that the INDIVIDUAL SHIPS are equally as old. The Lantree was indeed supposed to be an old vessel dating from the late 23rd century. However, other Mirandas like the Majestic and Nautilus were not. (They weren't brand new either, of course, but they were much more recent.)[/QUOTE]Yet they looked EXACTLY the same in the exterior. We saw that even an older vessel like the Lantree had a more 24th-century interior (presumably because of a refit), but the exterior remained the same as the late 23rd century equivalent. Again, in my opinion, that doesn't make sense. [QUOTE]just like 2002 VW Bug looks a lot like the 1962 one on the outside, but there a helluva lotta difference under the hood.[/QUOTE]But it doesn't look EXACTLY like the 1962 Bug on the outside, again acknowledging my point.
