[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] Well, let's see. The introduction of CGI would have had the following theoretical effects, assuming they can be observed onscreen: 1) Increase the diversity of basic classes by simplifying the building of new models. Examples: Equinox, Prometheus, Raven, etc. 2) Minimize obvious "refits" between individual members of a class by making damages to models nearly impossible and consequent repairs unnecessary. However, one may observe less obvious changes in lines, details and proportions as the modellers continue to tinker with their creations or rebuild models in different software. 3) Alter and standardize the composition of Starfleet by selecting certain models and maintaining the set throughout the shows. 4) Slightly change the characteristics of their motion with respect to the camera, as well as explosions. So yes, the design and tactical departments do seem more active, not surprisingly given the relative superiority of Dominion and Borg, which can only be defeated by new designs or old designs with radical alterations. Everybody else poses a relatively constant and predictable threat. Naturally, the increased design activity would necessarily trickle down into non-combat designs, as evidenced by the pathfinder/Nova story. I don't think it's a coincidence -- if it weren't for the fleet shots, the CGI people would not have been hired on DS9. On the other hand, the new "Voyager" designs are probably a side effect of the consistent need for alien ships of the week, which can only be done well in CGI. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
